CID investigate the sale of stolen cigarettes and alcohol to pubs in the Sun Hill area. DI Burnside comes to the aid of an old friend, and DS Pearce goes to see a stripper.
1.07 Carol Harrison aka Tiffany Mitchell's mother in Eastenders. 4.10 Tracy Bennet aka Sharon Gaskell in Coronation Street. The bill was a real hub for past/future soap actors.
I suspected as much, he hasn't been in this series much at all, that seems to be a pattern with The Bill, especially as they introduced D. I. Johnson a few episodes back.
Very sad to see Burnside go because he barely appeared when he returned in 98. I would love it if Burnside came back as DCI after the Beech saga because as iconic as Meadows was he shouldn’t have kept his post.
