I gave up on it in the mid 90s. It was great when it was just self-contained 30 minute eps, quick, gritty and with a pithy ending. When they decided to loosen their belts ans turn it into a sprawling soap opera it lost everything that I liked about it. Bit like Casualty, really. I don't bother with that any more either.

i car't belive itv are doing this if it defo happens channel 4 or 5 will buy then i reckon

Re: End of The Bill
 

i don't think channel 4 will pick it up, well i couldn't see it on channel 4, maybe five.

Actually there's another element of this - what are unemployed former Eastenders/Grange Hill/Hollyoaks actors going to do for work now?!

Re: End of The Bill
 

Move onto Doctors ;)

I think it "jumped the shark" with the last re-vamp. I was an avid watcher until the last change, I just gave up after that. It started to go downhill when they got rid of Reg, in my opinion. Or it could be the loss of confidence the public have in the police in general that could be part of the problem (oops, bit political there ;)) I believe that if they went back to old format, it would attract some of the previous fans back to the show. In fact I think I have a few unwatched episodes stored on the box.

I know what you mean, I stopped watching that sometime ago when they went to shaky camera format, like in The Bill.

I think the cast of Eastenders is about to grow significantly over the next year or so. :D

Re: End of The Bill
 

i really want them to bring it back on 2 times a week

Re: End of The Bill
 

Bring back Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green!

Re: End of The Bill
 

It went downhill when it got such ridiculous plots like rogue plods blowing up the station.Just plain stupid.:rolleyes:

Shame as the very first few series were very well crafted and the plots were sensible.

Re: End of The Bill
 

I liked it in the old days when it was grown up.


What will all those ex-eastenders actors do now?

Re: End of The Bill
 

I agree with you. When it started first it was really good but when they started putting in people from the soaps who had left then it became stupid and I gave up on it.

Re: End of The Bill
 

Go off and really learn to act...and if you think I'm joking ask yourself why so many established actors are now working in soaps instead.

There's always next years Dancing On Ice :)
