I have faithfully watched The Bill since it first started and l did love the programme.It appears that the script writers are trying to copy American programmes, what ashame! I have not enjoyed the new style Bill and decided that Thurs 29/10 episode would be the last I would watch, then uniform played a big roll and there was Tony in the episode, brilliant. So sorry he is leaving. I will watch next week but if it's all razzmatazz and frantic CID with no heart---I'm off to watch something else.
