I loved ‘The Bill’, such a great series which ran from 1984 until 2010 and ran for over 2400 episodes. Yep you read that right. Taking us into the Sun Hill police department not just from the uniformed police officers, but also the CID, and above and of course taking us into the lives of the criminals and suspects the Sun Hill police dealt with on a daily basis. It was a show that I watched a lot, and whilst I may not have seen all 2405 episodes, I have seen far more than I havent seen and now for fans of the show. Writer Oliver Crocker has brought out some reading material for fans of the show and its cast.. Witness Statements Making The Bill Series 1-3 is now not and can be bought here and Witness Statements The Bill 1988 can be pre-ordered here
