5.0 out of 5 stars More intense police drama., 6 Mar 2009
There is little point in bemoaning the fact that the UK only gets one 13-episode DVD of The Bill a year, as I think that's a fact that's here to stay. So I'll just continue with the review.

Since The Bill became a trashy soap opera in 2002, it's nice to be able to see it in its earlier form as hard-nosed, fast-paced gritty police drama. Storylines involve a family who have found a skeleton walled up in their home, an abandoned industrial estate containing a shed full of dead chickens, a stake-out which goes belly-up and a brush with a pretty violent army corporal. The famous Bill characters such as Cryer, Burnside, Roach, Carver etc are at their best and there's also a continuation of an ongoing thread involving Sgt Penny's deterioration in the wake of a shotgun injury.

A classic piece of TV drama and something every fan of the series should have.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bill - Series 4 Volume 2, 31 Jul 2009
By Nipper "Glynis Johns Loony" (Maceira, Torres Vedras Portugal) - See all my reviews
This collection of the early Bill half hour episodes, is, of course, brilliant, as indeed the half hour format enables the writer to tighten up the story lines without falling into the cliche trap. All the old favourites are there, Hollis, Yorkie, Melvyn, Stamp, Bob Cryer, Burnside, Chief Superintendant Brownlow. Most of these characters stay with the series for quite a reasonable time, so if they include your favourite (June Ackland, Martella, Pete Ramsay etc.) then this is one terrific DVD

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic late 80s Police Drama, 19 May 2009
By D. Evans "dantheman95" (Southport) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This second volume of 1988 episodes from the long running Police drama series, The Bill, features more crime for the officers to solve. Amongst the episodes we see Ackland and Edwards taken hostage by chicken farmer Stokes. PC Tony Stamp the only character from this period still in the show, is more of a secondary regular at this stage, with the main Police Constables being Edwards,Smith, Ramsey and Haynes. The latter two were actually only in the ptogramme for one year. The CID consist of Carver, Roach, Dashwood and arguably the best ever character in the show, the maverick DI Frank Burnside.
All these years the fashions and cars may have dated, but this seems an accurate reflection of Policing at the end of the eighties.
