::: THE BILL UNCOVERED

There is to be another Bill spin off on ITV3 before the end of April. Unlike the other The Bill Uncovered programmes, which focused on individuals - Des & Reg, Kerry and Jim - and were therefore character driven, this is an action packed programme, showing the situations Sun Hill officers find themselves in policing "the front line". Narrated by Supt. Adam Okaro - who had a gun pointed at him even before he reported for duty - this programme includes some of the very best action sequences involving Sun Hill Officers - both past and present. Expect appearances from Brownlow, Conway, Santini, Quinnan, Garfield, Blake, Gilmore, Page, Rickman and many others. Episodes featured include: "Instant Response", "Humpty Dumpty" Part 1, "Quits", "Badlands", "Live and Ticking"......

Tune in to ITV3 on Wednesday 27th April @ 9pm
