i love the bill

I wish people would stop saying the show is on its last legs. It isn't. The producers just need to changed tact a little. The best thing we can all do is show our support by watching the show. Unless you want it to get axed,of course.

Know that I'll be watching the show,no matter what happens. The Bill is inspiration for my book I'm writing,and if it goes,I fear I may not finish it.....

On another note,send my congrats to Ali for getting a perfect score in Strictly on Saturday night. I read on DS that she was going to give us a romantic dance - needless to say she blew me away.

Hi. I've been a fan of The Bill for years and have honestly watched nearly every episode from around 1992. I feel the way the show is going now, with empty characters (Smithy, Meadows, Manson and Masters excluded) and storylines that are just so dull, is reaching it's death. I feel you've wiped away so much history attatched to the show, which I loved until the later end of this year. I feel the way you banished the theme tune, known possibly world wide, and the way in which Tony Stamp's last scene was just a brief glimpse of him are unforgiveable. I've now decided that unless The Bill drops this format and starts listening to it's long term fans, I will no longer be watching. I will however tune in for the last episode as a mark of respect, something I don't think is too far away if this continues.

The Bill needs to go back to the way it was, with more uniform, better storylines, 2 episodes a week, now the storylines are dragging on, it needs to be more interesting...the bill quickly needs changed back to the way it was, it is losing valuable viewers, viewers that use to always watch it...The Bill production time needs to get their thinking caps on, it needs to go back to the 8pm time, or keep it at 9 two days a week. Please ITV The bill production team, put it back to the way it was...other wise, it will be axed and the bill fans dont want it to be..more promotion is needed.

I have been a fan of the show for at least Six years. It pains me to say that the quality of character development and Plot originality has gone downhill dramatically. The show is on its last legs! Mainly because A.too many familiar characters have left or been axed B.The new format is awful, the storyline is the same each week. And there is too much screen time to CID. C. Then again most of the uniform characters are rubbish actors (Smithy excluded). I would rather see it axed, than it carry on in this state.. I miss the Huxon and Gold/Okarro days. P.S.... However I secretly think that this is what ITV management want. Guys you need to sort this out!
