The Bill Season 1 Episode 7

[@kellynisbett]

I was about 14 years old when The Bill started. 36 year's ago .when the world seemed more normal compared to now 😢

[@soulsphere9242]

Everything thinks that about their younger days.

[@hjyigo4759]

Watching back it's like the 84-93 period (Galloway/Roach/Burnside era) is like a combination of the Sweeney and Minder. Dishevelled cockneys always in the boozer looking for some villans. Brilliant stuff!

[@richardhough3265]

"You put out a call, I'd better phone the boozer" lol..

[@jensturgess7685]

Awwww the good old days

[@Tanit1000]

I remember this era - I worked at an oil and gas company in the 80's. We used to call lunch "Funch" because we would drink alcohol and Everyone did it including bosses so it was no biggie!!! 😂 😂😂

RIP Gary Olsen, taken far too soon

[@johnjamescapel3489]

Is he the passenger detective.

[@brucedanton3669]

He was in 2 point 4 Children later on on BBC1 of course, as I am sure you do know. Thank you anyway!!

[@brucedanton3669]

I think they filmed near Croydon sometimes. Both my Mum and Dad came from there originally, although I live near Dartford, so I do vaguely know the area there of old. Thank you anyway of course!!

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you of course!!

[@victorcross5949]

This a very funny episode.

[@SuperBartles]

I like the depiction of the young guy who has to handle an important case by himself (Galloway's in court & Roach is in a mood again) - so he begs for help in a slightly pathetic way and then has to start thinking for himself... Rite of passage Of course he messes it up royally - bound to happen. And "learns from 'is mistakes"

It’s incredible that the original station looks absolutely nothing the the one from the later years

[@007beck9]

In later ones they changed station couse the old one was getting demolished in the show.

[@jackfender5074]

Does anyone know which pub this was filmed in? I don’t think it’s a studio because later episodes show Truman’s on the window.

[@AndyPearce100]

The Caxton Pub on the Highway, on the corner with Artichoke Hill, Wapping. Next door to the original police station location. Pub scenes were usually filmed at The Royal Oak on Columbia Road, E2, but this episode was affected by industrial action, which may explain the choice of location.

Back before it all became a photogenic contest, with characters that stayed within some of the rules and the writers tried to depict realism, instead of complicated outlandish scripts with quickies up against walls…

[@carmenpirotta9050]

Were is the one that was filmed at the wapping youth club 1986.

[@phillipgreer4875]

I loved Galloway and Burnside as DI's but after them I wasn't very impressed.

the building right at the start (0.09) looks a lot like the building in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels...

[@fredflintstoner596]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
