A Friend in Need | Episode 3 | Series 1 | THE BILL 

The good old bills were miles ahead of tripe that use to put out with the later bill. Started to turn into a soap opera instead of a program about good old coppering.

Aussie here, Bill used to be on daily repeats in the afternoon. I have to remind myself everyone here are actor's playing characters not actual coppers filming a documentary. So perfectly done. 👌

The foreshadowing is amazing Jim Carver feeling sorry for an addict and accused of being a thief!

classic episodes of the bill are the best

Monday nights..takes me back,was at college at the time doing electronics and working in a tv repair shop had loads of old tvs in bits n peices at home in my bedroom,remember watching this on a cobbled together old Phillips G11 tv with a white! Cabinet,with a 'clicker'' remote control

A great and intriguing series. Too bad it ended.

Ted Roach legend.....

Superb. Thanks for the upload!

They look so young!

Good drama, before it lost its way and got cancelled.

Love Galloway's big, ugly shades. So Eighties!

Thanks so much for posting!

This was a good one.

@ 29:00: funny how Carver finds the only unlikely open spot at a crowded bar. 2 pints: hope that he doesn't already have a drinking problem as a rooky.

The social worker tease was funny it made me nearly fall out off my balcony

When this Show was on was good old times ❤😮❤❤❤ lol i was i was aschool girl but it was thec happys days of my ife girl 😊xxx

Thanks for uploading. Great TV. As TV sets got less bulky the quality went down !? 0.30 The old toll bridge.

Excellent. Still just as good today. Technology has changed but methods the same. But oh what a different UK it is for the police to do their job in today, poor devils.Ace program, wish they would bring it back.

Notice that newby PC's aren't ready for 2 way radios. (Yet Carver gets one after apparently 2 weeks.)

Thanks

I came here just for that iconic outro 49:18

Taffy would’ve been right at home on Rorkes drift, probably skiving off keeping out of sight of Colour Sergeant Bourne...

the actor who played Dave Litten Gary Olsen died in 2000 after a 10 month battle with cancer

13:00 Do I see a microphone?

17:21 Purple toilet paper??

John Saltman is great in this role but he looks way too young for it. He looks like he should be more of a rooky or a PC with just a few years. Or maybe his character was so good that he quickly rose through the ranks.

wtf june smoking?!

Any chance of doing more than one a week??? Seeing as there are so many, and I'm sure you won't be around for another 30 years!!. Bit stupid and selfish making us wait longer!

See the Jews were still pulling the strings back then haha
