Or they bring back the good writers they started with and treat viewers like adults and not soap fodder.

Are you insinuating that Gladiators was decent programming?
Actually, now that I think of it... Panther ohhh... 
Makes me laugh actually:

The relationship between "Hunter" (James Crossley) and presenter Ulrika Jonsson was a tabloid focus during 1996 and 1997. The pair initially denied the affair, but later Jonsson admitted it in her 2003 biography.

Re: End of The Bill
The problem The Bill had is the same problem a lot of British Television has, rather mundane and directionless storylines. They always seem to wander, and simply be a sequence of events where each plot point serves only as an excuse to get to the next episode. There is no sense of a complete storyline, from start to finish, with a theme or a point. In short, there is no story.
An episode will not be about 'the effect of drug addiction on a family' but it will about the girl from the estate who topped herself and her mum went of her rocker so the old bill had to arrest her. There are issues and emotions that could be explored there, and would be on better shows, but instead it's just temporary friction/conflict to see out the hour all playing second fiddle to the soap opera that is in fact the main product of the shows.
It's not just the case with The Bill, there are loads of cases of this. Judge John Deed seemed to suffer from the same thing, it just descended into a soap opera.

Re: End of The Bill
I watched an episode yesterday, which I had in my V+, since Christmas. It was about Mickey Webb going undercover on the streets and tracking down some missing people. The story line was quite good, but executed in a very amateurish way. My favourite arc of recent years was the missing child (the father was played by Neil Stuke, if I remember correctly). It was engaging and suspenseful in parts (if a little predictable, I guessed it was the sister all along) and very well acted. I was hoping for similar trends for the show, but it was sadly never to be.
