Despite his cragginess and being well into his fifties, he always pulled top totty. The show's opening credits saw him lying around the deck of his yacht, drinking champers with bikini clad nymphettes.
I couldn't quite work out what the attraction was.

Perhaps it's better not to dwell on it.

The Bill.

I've never met anyone else apart from my Grandad who watches it, and he died 12 years ago.

though I'd wish someone else had the tests done to them. because House's team are too thick to screen them out in the first case

I'd like to lie there looking pale and interesting
or even just pale

Wouldn't dare! I watch House as well sometimes. But that's not as bad as watching Beechgrove Garden :oops: . Jim is my ultimate pin up (or should that be throw up?)
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

How do you know it's second rate if you don't watch it?

It is a brilliant cutting edge hard-hitting topical drama. It's amazing, it's like if Bukowski and Bunker were english and decided to write a cop show, The Bill is what they'd've come up with. And the dream sequences are mental.

I'm surprised more people don't watch it, but I think it probably carries a bad reputation from when it started, when it WAS a second rate show, with every half-hour episode ending with the crooks getting caught.

Poppy, you're right though, I do love Sgt June Ackland (what young boy of my age wouldn't?). Unfortunately she left about 3 weeks ago.

I've not been the same since.
