Many thanks for discovering it in Australia. Many people have actually accused me of imagining it, so it's great being proved right even if it was only 3 hour-long episodes and not 7. LOL..

@WarrenThwaites - In Australia series 1 - 4 has been released on DVD. Should be available online. More to come. The older stuff is far better than 1998 on ward.

Don't forget those 7 much earlier hour long episodes shown back in 1970. Filmed using various locations in both Chiswick and Islington, it was those, along with the same theme music and the cobble-walking, which really set the scene for when the series was eventually resurrected in 1984, although with a completely new bunch of actors. That single season of episodes might not have the flair of the later series but I still wish someone would dig them out so we can all watch them agan.

What didn't he do??!!
The 1988-1998 era of the "The Bill" was first rate. The first three years (1984-1987), the show was establishing itself and it's identity. Then the 1998-2001 era saw a more personal shift towards the characters lives.
However when "The Bill" became a serialised show in 2002 - courtesy of Paul Marquess, the series started to resemble a soap with characters sleeping with each other and the death rate going through the roof....
This episode represents the golden age of "The Bill".....

Fuck Brownlow Ted Roach Was & Still Is The Best DS Ever On The Bill. Even His Fights With DI Galloway & DI Burnside Were Legendary.
