Ted Roach in trouble for clocking off early to go sunbathe with his young girlfriend. Sgt Bob Cryer busy busy directing operations at Sunhill. Fresh-faced Carver looking about 12. Taffy Edwards getting crushed by rubble while chasing a villain in an old warehouse.
This was pre-Burnside. That annoying ginger in charge of CID, over-acting at every turn.
What a show. |  |

It started in 1984. Some casual racism a la Sweeney. | |

Ha! I think it’ll be a few seasons before they get to solving problems on the Jasmine Allen estate. Burnside in his prime. | |

Reg was a legend.
I also remember being mildly traumatised when these two policemen went chasing a group of youths. They got seperated and one of them got circled and beaten badly (and I think one of the youths stabbed him). The other officer couldn't get to him in time. It felt very real and visceral to my child brain.
And I also being like, what the hell, when the fat guy knocked an officer out with a shovel, tied him up and then raped him. [Post edited 18 Dec 2020 14:14]

Reg was there very briefly. Doing surveillance on some villains. Only had a couple of lines. One of which was about a bird having big knockers. | |

Crikey don’t recall the shovel incident. Pretty hardcore for what was prime time viewing. | |

The actor who played Roach had been living in the Lowestoft area for lots of years until he sadly passed away. I used to see him sat outside his house having a nap just off the high street |  | | |

Out of curiosity, just found it on UKTV Play.
Carver as you say looks about 12, but he didn't half age quickly over the years.
Bob being told the nose job went well had me laughing a lot harder than it should have.
Knowing it's available for free may have just created a bit of a monster with regards to my future viewing habits... |  |

...And Blake's Seven. Although I have to say I've rewatched one and a bit series of that, and I found it very disappointing. [Post edited 18 Dec 2020 15:06]

Who was Jasmine Allen anyway?
Presumably a name that occurs nowhere in the country as the name of a council estate. | |

There’s a big Naaaridge connection to The Bill.
I think the original writers were from there or studied there?
Loads of character and place names based on the city areas, landmarks etc. |  |

DI Roy Galloway?
Kept calling everyone 'Son' from memory. Disappeared without explanation late-ish 80s and replaced by Burnside.
I used to enjoy it back then until it was turned into more of a soap style programme. |  |
