Ch. Supt. Charles Brownlow in 'Beggars + Choosers', The Bill (ITV, 1990).

"The inner city is no green and pleasant land, but we can prevent it from becoming a battlefield. We must stir ourselves from our own comfort and complacency and deal with the problems of inner-city deprivation, for police officers may not be able, or willing, to act as the front-line troops for a society at war with itself."

#the bill #photoset #jim carver #frank burnside #alistair greig #i love an episode which harks back to a much earlier episode #it's my reward for watching them all in sequence #i love alistair a lot but he is rather sly in this one #it's obvious he's after burnside's job

PC Taffy Edwards in 'Beer + Bicycles', The Bill (ITV, 1989).

"So is it possible that the problem's not so much that Mary wants to go back to Wales, but deep down inside you want to go back and you can't bring yourself to admit it?"

#the bill #series 5 #beer and bicycles #taffy edwards #gifset #gonna miss him when he goes #but the arrival of monroe i'm sure will compensate

"You'll find out about Captain Bob. He's got his favourites. [...] He thinks he knows me, see. Thinks he's got me sussed. It's like checkmate every time I try and do anything."

PC Taffy Edwards in 'Back on the Streets', The Bill (ITV, 1989).

#the bill #series 5 #back on the streets #taffy edwards #gifset #it's a pity taff's character was reduced to being a moaning welsh git #cos there were depths hinted at that deserved to be explored #i really liked this scene #it's brief but i found it rather poignant #and demonstrated that contrary to popular belief -- looking at you cryer -- taff does care

[juneackland]

WPC Claire Brind + PC Pete Ramsey in 'You'll Be Back', The Bill (ITV, 1989).

#the bill #series 5 #claire brind #you'll be back #pete ramsey #FINALLY they give claire something to do #i was beginning to think the writers had forgotten about her #which i thought would be difficult seeing as there are only three wpcs at this point
