The Bill Might Be Coming Back!

It originally finished in 2009 after a run of about 25 years, and now they could be bringing it back with some of the original cast coming back! WOOT!

 

Thoughts?

They might as well dig up George Dixon.

I remember watching the Bill back in the 1980s. Although I stopped watching it when I moved out from my parents, I have caught a few of the later episodes from the 1990s being shown on freeview, and I thought it had really gone down hill. It had turned into a silly soap opera with stupid story lines, unbelievable coincidences and poor acting from people who looked like they stepped out from a glossy magazine. 

If they do being it back I hope they can get back to some kind of realism that made it at least  watchable.

Is Evening Hall that big  property on Letsby Avenue?

Back in the late 1990s the BBC created a similar police procedural drama called City Central which was brilliant. It only ran for 3 or 4  series. It's a shame they pulled the plug on it, as it was shaping up to be really good

It will be funny watching some of the original cast chasing villains using zimmer frames, it'll make the Keystone cops look serious.

I started to watch The Bill in the 90’s when Frank Burnside was in it and Jack Meadows,  use to enjoy it then but towards the end I got fed up with it and stopped watching it.

 

Didn’t it use to be called The Woodentops when it first started?  If it does come back I will give it a try.
