Ugh is all I can say really.

It used to be a good drama which I would watch every time it was on. Now the new one is here and it seems that they have tried to make it american which sucks.

rubbish theme tune and the cinematography is awful. Also that music they play ON the scene take away the whole 'bill' atmosphere.

It all started when they sacked good old Reg :unsure:

The first shot I saw the other night showed a constable walking with his hands firmly placed in his pockets and his partner with her hands wedged in her stabby.

At that point I turned over.

I didn't think it could have gone any more downhill than it had already. It went that way years ago with the whole Beech saga.

Glad I haven't bothered with it then.

Very good ben ;) :p ;) :p

The worst thing is you can't get The Bill on ITV player anymore :unsure: (more due to ITV's incompetence, bit still).

I haven't seen the new episodes yet, cos I'm usually at work at 9 on a Thursday and forget to set Sky + to record it :unsure:

Still watch the older episodes on Alibi though, they're class! Only thing that seemed strange to me in the older episodes was that most of the crims were off estates! I mean come on, Council Estate residents get a bad rep as it is, doesn't this kind of thing just make them look even worse?

Well in fairness a large proportion of real criminals do live on council estates or in other local authority housing....

Sadly thats true I like to call them Jeremy Kyle's people, no job no prospects and expect everyone else in society to fund their lifestyle, I m talking about criminals on estates rather than people who live on estates generally.

Anyway still haven't seen the new bill bring back the old bill and DI Galloway :unsure:

I live on a council estate in a big block of flats overlooking Poole Harbour (Dorset). My neighbour used to be a drug dealer before his child was born.

Hey guys,

If any of you are fans of "The Bill" then if you didn't know about it already I've found a YouTube channel which has a lot of the episodes on it :) Been watching a fair few of them recently.

The channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/hexicode if you're interested :p
