The Bill: Complete Series 1

Network is proud to present the complete first series of THE BILL, the highly-acclaimed, long-running ITV1 police series that has become such compulsive viewing for millions of people over the last twenty years.

From its origin as a single play in ITV’s STORYBOARD play series (presented here as an extra), THE BILL began as three, hour-long series before being relaunched and reformatted into the long-running, regular weekly ratings hit that it has now become. Its critically-acclaimed first series features some of the series favourite characters, including DI Galloway (John Salthouse), Sgt. Cryer (Eric Richard), PC Carver (Mark Wingett), PC Litten (Gary Olsen), PC Hollis (Jeff Stewart), WPC Ackland (Trudie Goodwin) and Det Sgt Roach (Tony Scannell). In this series, the residents of Sun Hill police station find that they have to deal with bomb threats, armed robbery and drugs raids alongside the more routine demands of policing.

This is a series that has always stayed-pace with the changes and problems encountered by the modern police force, which has always ensured that it is as accurate as it is compelling. It will appeal to people who enjoy any police procedural dramas and archive television fans.
