Billed up
A very busy start to the year has seen me falling behind with The Bill - eight episodes to be exact. But after an intensive sesh the night before last of the first six eps and the most recent two just now, I’m all up to date.
I really don’t get why everyone rips the piss out of me for watching The Bill, it’s not as if ITV keep throwing millions at the programme because I’m the only one that watches it. But I’m sure that if they’d seen the last two eps they wouldn’t be so quick to have a go, as they were ruddy excellent - two of the finest ever without a doubt.
And even though it’s been a long build up (since June of last year) to the climactic events of these last two episodes, all the action and back-story was somehow self-contained, making playback similar to watching a two hour feature film.
The twists were brilliant, and they’ve left the story hanging very nicely (if not a bit annoyingly) for next week’s eps. Oh yes!
Update: And the new title sequence is inspired.
