CRIME PAYS FOR THE BILL (10/6/04)
From The
Sun by Jonathan Weinberg.
Could The Bill's Sun Hill
be the most corrupt police station in Britain? In the last five years those
pounding the beat have been involved in at least NINE deaths, THREE kidnappings,
THREE rapes, a sexual assault, and dozens of beatings, bungs and courtroom lies. And that’s just the ones
our undercover probe has turned up. Last night ITV1 viewers saw
crazed copper Gabriel Kent rape colleague PC
Kerry Young (Beth Cordingly) after he became obsessed with the blonde
beauty. But that's not his only crime as
you'll find out when you read our dossier of evidence on PC Kent and his
colleagues. He's the latest in a long line of
coppers to get mixed up in crime or turn as bent as a nine bob note. A spokesman for the show said:
"Corrupt copper storylines have given us some of our highest rating
episodes. "They're often the
characters viewers love to hate but we also have loads of good officers like Sergeant
June Ackland and PC Tony Stamp who believe in honest
police work to balance it out." Here we reveal our top 10
Rogues Gallery from The Bill's ranks past and present. Your honour, we've got them
bang to rights.
