series, broadcast on <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_network)" title="ITV (TV network)">ITV</a> from 16 October 1984 until 31 August 2010. The programme originated from a one-off drama, <a href="/wiki/Woodentop_(The_Bill)" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodentop (The Bill)">Woodentop</a>, broadcast on 16 August 1983. ITV were so impressed with the drama that a full series was commissioned. The title originates from "Old Bill", a <a href="/wiki/List_of_police-related_slang_terms" title="List of police-related slang terms">slang term for the police</a> and show creator <a href="/wiki/Geoff_McQueen" title="Geoff McQueen">Geoff McQueen</a>'s original title for the series. The Bill focuses on the lives and work of one shift of police officers of all ranks, and the storylines deal with situations faced by uniformed officers working on the beat, as well as <a href="/wiki/Covert_operation#Plainclothes_law_enforcement" title="Covert operation">plainclothes</a> detectives. Producers initially wanted to replicate the "Day in the Life" feature of Woodentop and made sure a police officer was featured in every single scene. The series later adopted a much more serialised approach and a revamp in 2002 led to more of a soap-opera feel to many of its stories. The Bill began with a regular cast of 13 members with only two of these being uniformed women. In total 174 actors have formed part of the series' main cast. Throughout its 26-year run, the programme was always broadcast on the main ITV channel. In later years, episodes of the show were repeated on <a href="/wiki/ITV3" title="ITV3">ITV3</a> on their week of broadcast. The series has also been repeated on other digital stations, including <a href="/wiki/UKTV_Gold" class="mw-redirect" title="UKTV Gold">UKTV Gold</a> and <a href="/wiki/Drama_(British_TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="Drama (British TV channel)">Drama</a>. It has been broadcast in over 55 countries. The series has attracted controversy on several occasions. An episode broadcast in 2008 was criticised for featuring fictional treatment for <a href="/wiki/Multiple_sclerosis" title="Multiple sclerosis">multiple sclerosis</a>. The series has also faced more general criticism concerning its levels of violence, particularly prior to 2009, when it occupied a <a href="/wiki/Watershed_(television)" class="mw-redirect" title="Watershed (television)">pre-watershed</a> slot. The Bill, its cast and crew have won and been nominated for a <a href="/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_The_Bill" title="List of awards and nominations received by The Bill">number of awards</a>, including <a href="/wiki/British_Academy_of_Film_and_Television_Arts" title="British Academy of Film and Television Arts">BAFTAs</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Writers%27_Guild_of_Great_Britain" title="Writers' Guild of Great Britain">Writers' Guild of Great Britain</a> Award. In March 2010, following a spell of declining viewership and negative public and media reception, executives at ITV announced that the network did not intend to recommission The Bill and that filming would cease on 14 June 2010. The final episode titled "<a href="/wiki/Respect_(The_Bill)" title="Respect (The Bill)">Respect</a>" aired on 31 August 2010. The Bill was the longest-running police procedural television series in the United Kingdom, and among the longest running of any British television series at the time of its cancellation. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Bill&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/History_of_The_Bill" title="History of The Bill">History of The Bill</a></div> The Bill was originally conceived by <a href="/wiki/Geoff_McQueen" title="Geoff McQueen">Geoff McQueen</a> in 1983, then a new television writer, as a one-off <a href="/wiki/Dramatic_programming" class="mw-redirect" title="Dramatic programming">drama</a>.

In 1998, The Bill returned to hour-long episodes, which later became twice-weekly,<a href="#cite_note-BBC2003-5">[5]</a> with the Friday episode being dropped, at which point the series adopted a much more serialised approach. When <a href="/wiki/Paul_Marquess" title="Paul Marquess">Paul Marquess</a> took over as executive producer in 2002, as part of a drive for ratings,<a href="#cite_note-changing_times-6">[6]</a> the series was revamped, bringing more of a soap-opera feel to many of its stories. Many veteran characters were written out, leading to the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Opportunity_(The_Bill)" title="Golden Opportunity (The Bill)">Sun Hill fire</a> during 2002. Marquess stated that the clearout was necessary to introduce "plausible, powerful new characters". As part of the new serial format, much more of the characters' personal lives were explored but, as Marquess put it, the viewers still "don't go home with them".<a href="#cite_note-Tibballs-2">[2]</a> The change also allowed The Bill to become more reflective of modern policing, with the introduction of officers from ethnic minorities, most notably the new superintendent, <a href="/wiki/Adam_Okaro" class="mw-redirect" title="Adam Okaro">Adam Okaro</a> (<a href="/wiki/Cyril_Nri" title="Cyril Nri">Cyril Nri</a>).

Working conditions got so dire, that the production team realised they needed to find another base to set Sun Hill police station.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> The second location was an old record distribution depot in Barlby Road, <a href="/wiki/North_Kensington" title="North Kensington">North Kensington</a> in North West London.<a href="#cite_note-Lynch,_T._1992-21">[21]</a> Filming began here in March 1987.

After an extensive search, two sites were selected, the favourite being a disused hospital in <a href="/wiki/Clapham" title="Clapham">Clapham</a>. However, this fell through and the second option was chosen—an old wine distribution warehouse in <a href="/wiki/Merton_Park" title="Merton Park">Merton</a>, South West London.
