The Bill Series 7 Episode 31 (S07E31) Caught Napping

[@Scousefire]

19:00 "YOU SLAAAAG!" Burnside and Roach, two of the best characters out of The Bill.

[@siredith8846]

Old school police! I miss them.

[@malcolmclements9254]

Roach not very happy about his manhandled whiskey bottle.

[@graemewatson1106]

The Bill was the best program on tv I’ve got the first 6 series’s on DVD & I’m addict to them the early series’s were the best

[@robdykes3659]

Yep got that right, after the 2000,s it was more about relationships, homo,s ,gays, lesbians bullshit

[@matthewdeniran5836]

Burnside was the greatest of them all 💯👌🏾

[@robertsargeant2018]

Yes he was 100 %

[@MrAljosav]

Roach and Burnside together

[@parriciapogue3936]

If Burnside isn't in it it's not worth watching roach too

[@gregthompson3274]

Yep,when Frank and Ted departed,the bill never reached those heights again

[@graemewatson1106]

Burnside & Roach 2 of the best coppers in The Bill

[@KmT81]

Roach and Burnside have been closer through the years !funny scene when they fight😆

[@malcolmclements9254]

They don't make coppers like Burnside anymore.

[@senzen2692]

Great script: the impact of high pressure on different characters.

[@senzen2692]

Burnside's snaky side comes out.

[@benjaminwilliams1292]

I was quite young during Frank Burnside's tenure as Detective Inspector, leading to Chris Ellison leaving the show in 1993, but I still have memories of it. His return to The Bill in 1999 and 2000 as a recurring character, initially thought to now be on the wrong side of the law but now a full-fledged Detective Chief Inspector, temporarily back at Sun Hill station, much to the frustration of former boss Jack Meadows, was a great time in television for me, including the ongoing storyline about Jim Carver's Alcoholism. Ellison had left the show by then, but I thought making Don Beach a villain was unnecessary, and the same goes for new Superintendent Tom Chandler. The show changed after Burnside left for good, but I'll always love ❤️ the old days of The Bill

[@cryptogee172]

I think it went downhill in the noughties, with the soap style, over the top storylines, plus every other week a character was getting killed off! I stopped watching by then. The late 80s, and early 90s were the best. This is one of my favourite episodes. Loved the Roach and particular Burnside characters😊

[@PC-lu3zf]

This kind of reminds me of the classic episode Brownlow left in 9 years later all fall down.

[@worland322575269]

13:12 Until a certain bent copper by the name of Don Beech causes you to fall upon your sword, Brownlow!

[@qasimhussain1678]

I just love these old episodes

[@adamgriffiths3681]

DCI Bourne played DS Matthews in The Sweeney

[@charlesedwards4160]

Lol, thought his face looked familiar. He's lost all his hair..

[@malcolmclements9254]

It must be nice to outrank just about everyone your about to meet, upset them and put them in their place, all that power.

[@darrenmonks4532]

Excellent drama/acting.

[@lylepeacock2300]

What a character burnside was if he wasn't in the episode it was nt worth watching best tv character ever for me

[@ronaldscherr1267]

This episode would have to be one of the Best.

[@senzen2692]

Reid: Don't patronize me Derek!

[@rozza2012]

When the U.K police investigated crime, not mean Tweets.

[@adriansampson6970]

Loved how Kim Reid was cool, calm and collected during that interview. She had all the qualities of a brilliant D.C.I so it came as no surprise when she moved on to become Detective Superintendent. She was definitely one of the show's vastly underrated characters in my opinion.

[@jimclark6256]

You are joking, right.

[@bunston1x521]

Reid was an arsehole, constantly kept Roach and Burnside in the dark and stole all the glory.

[@marialauria7307]

[@graemewatson1106]

When Burnside says to Reid you’ve done your legs he means you’ve done your chances of promotion ie climbing the ladder

[@cryptogee172]

Ted was the one who said to stand the troops down in "Safe as houses".

[@jimclark6256]

You don't work for the CSD, keep him waiting until you have cleared it with the top man in the station.

[@flashstudiosguy]

Too right, even take it as far as the Queen if you have to. God, I hate people who think they can kick you in the nuts and expect their title to make everything ok.

[@georginaledlie7444]

How rude these people are... there really is no need to behave like that.

[@Dblue862]

Whatever happened to all the old tough street coppers like Burnside and Roach? It really is a sad indictment of how far the Metropolitan Police Force has fallen.

[@malcolmclements9254]

"Your Roach are you?"

[@siredith8846]

17:50 WELLLLLL!

[@michaelmulligan0]

Which episode did this incident take place in?

[@malcolmclements9254]

SCS: Scary Crucifying Copper's.

[@graemewatson1106]

I’m surprised this wasn’t the last episode of series 6

[@Freddie-x4s]

Burnside and Roach the top of the business

[@JohnMurphy-mx7pd]

Episode without Burnside or Ted ain't worth watching .

[@mattbeardsworth3201]

I noticed an Alsatian being put in to a police van at 7 mins 14, I wonder where the dog was being taken?

[@flashstudiosguy]

Maybe a neighbouring nick like Barton Street or Stafford Row
