Re: End of The Bill

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.
