Was better when it was only on for 30 mins a couple of times a week years ago

Always watched it when growing up until 2/3 years ago i just couldnt watch it no more.

Will be making way for more cookery pish or bullshit 60 minute makeover or summit, Cheap programs that dont cost the earth and have large staff/cast crew to pay out

Tellys fuckin shite and not worth the licence money thats for sure

my best mate is on the crew for the bill, he does (did) the sound dubbing, he's now been made redundant unfortunately, though he says we should look out for him in the last scene

This.

I used to watch it with the family in the old days. But ever since they updated the show to new formats including the shaky cameras effects, that put me off big time!

I even tried to watch the last one last night but turned over after 15 mins!

I always used to watch this, then stopped cos i got a life and was out doing things, and lately i've been watching it again as i've had to be at home more and started getting into it, last nights programme about the last goodbye i sat and watched and was going back over the years it was weird seeing footage that i'd seen years ago and remembering it!

Reg Hollis was a legend!!!

The Bill got shit when they added all that wanky music, trying to make it dramatic, it ruined it and i stopped watching it!

Bit of a crap ending too, surely Sun Hill hould have blown up and everyone died???

Sunhill station is on a busy road, so doubt they would of blown it up Its on Windsor Avenue, Morden. Google Maps shows a Police van just out front. I remember them filming round Norbury, Streatham, Morden, etc when I was younger as we used to see them quite a lot My mate Terry worked on the Bill for years and was obviously sad to see it go as his now out of a job.

I used to like the show when I was young

That's right, they were making way for a younger cast and told him his contract wasn't being renewed http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...r-sacking.html
