We probably should get back to the Big Breakfast but one last post as it was a really poor effort for Reg and Tony especially Reg and although they just said at the start of one episode he had resigned after the death of Emma Keane. I followed the Bill from 1999-2009 and really lost interest in it after the 2009 revamp which killed it. I felt Jonathan Young did take it back to basics from 2005-2009 and felt it more about the crimes rather than the officers. The few episodes I watched from 2009-2010 particularly the last few stories were really good but it felt like a different show.
Even worse was a few years later when Reg Hollis was written out and Jeff Stewart slit his wrists on set as a result... that was not long before the dreadful 2009 revamp. Where they also got rid of Tony Stamp who'd also been there since the start pretty uncerimoniously.
I did talk to someone twitter a couple of years back who claimed they worked on The Bill and said many aspects of the 2009 revamp (the film look, the music etc.) were forced on them by ITV and they didn't want them. Whether they actually did work for the show and there's any truth in it, I don't know though.
But we probably should get back to the Big Breakfast here!
