KILLED BY THE BILL! (26/2/04)
From The Sun...
Millions have watched
the twisted PC spiral out of control on the hit ITV1 show. Des — played
by Paul Usher — has confessed to killing six of his Sun Hill
colleagues in a fire and then faked his own death. He has also
been unhinged by the cot death of daughter Niamh. He has gone on
the run after kidnapping ex-lover Sgt Sheelagh Murphy (Bernie
Nolan) and PC Cameron Tait (Daniel MacPherson). The drama
reaches a climax when PC
Reg Hollis (Jeff Stewart) is called out to a deserted lido. He comes face
to face with demented Des — who pulls a gun. Reg is rescued and
Des taken to the station in handcuffs. But he is later found dead
in one of the cells. Reg tops the
long list of suspects who may have killed Des. He almost lost his
job protecting his best friend. Long-suffering Sheelagh
also has a motive after he kidnapped her. Above:

CRAZED
cop Des
Taviner will meet a grisly end in The Bill — and leave fans guessing who
murdered him.





PC Tony Stamp (Graham Cole) was once a pal of Des but is furious he started the fire which killed his mates.
Cameron is livid at being held hostage. And Insp Gina Gold (Roberta Taylor) may have wanted revenge after all the mayhem Des caused at Sun Hill.
The ITV1 episode is at 8pm on March 17, followed by a one-hour special on ITV2 which shows Reg watching a video diary Des made before his death.
