Thought to myself Scott Adkins and Richard Madden would make for a great modern Bodie & Doyle.

Gene Hackman also nearly directed Silence Of The Lambs. He was rumoured to be in line for the Lecter role, either that or Scott Glenn's FBI veteran.

I saw Arran Bell once as an employee of The Firm in EastEnders back in '88. Didn't look at all intimidating or scary. Not like Ziggy Byfield or the guy who played Dolly's husband in Widows.

One of the greatest British dramas ever, the likes of which we will never see.

Ted Roach's final episode as a Sun Hill copper was a hoot.

In recent years, people have wanted The Bill to return. Not very likely, but if it did return, it would be on Sky or Watch.

Phil Collins was an excellent replacement for Peter Gabriel and with Steve Hackett on guitar, they continued to be a prog rock band. Seconds Out is a sublime live album with the standout being...

Yep, it was him. Recognised him straight away when I spotted him in The Bill.

I think when it was a 9pm show and had more violence and bad language in it added to its realism. It felt as if you were watching real coppers in action. I heard the 1st series got lots of...

My Top 10 episodes :

Ringer
Abduction
Thou Shalt Not Kill!
Stoppo Driver
Faces
Taste Of Fear
In From The Cold

I've got the blu-rays of the movies which came out earlier this year. So much better than Ray Winstone's version with better storylines, very fine performances, more realism and most of all, that...

Grew up listening to these guys since I was 8. Amazing vocals, guitar and dynamite songs that blasted everything else out of the water. Rainbow were at their best with Dio but there were great...

Where The Heart Is makes for a great tune. I saw it being mimed to on TOTP2 I think or Sounds Of The Eighties back in the '90s. It's on my USB player in my car.

David Coverdale
Robert Plant
Ian Gillan
Ozzy Osbourne
Bon Scott
Ronnie James Dio
Freddie Mercury
Peter Gabriel
Bruce Dickinson

Started off as a pop-rock band in 1969 with Peter Gabriel on vocals. Trespass in 1970 hinted at the more progressive direction they would take followed by the energetic Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot...

Grew up listening to Maiden in the '80s. My brother was more into the 1st album featuring Di'Anno but he had The Number Of The Beast on cassette and copied all their other stuff. Live After Death...

Galloway > Burnside > Deakin.

Don Beech also rocked even if he was crooked. Spotted him as another character in a 1989 episode.

The Bill went back to being a 9pm show in its final year after years of being pre-watershed.

I watched every single episode back in 2005 or '06. My brother liked the one with Nyree Dawn Porter.

Began as a 1983 ITV Storyboard play called Woodentop which was about the first day on the job for new PC Jim Carver. In March the following year, they began filming the 1st series which had more of...

Death Wish (Blake Edmonds)
Topps On Two Wheels (Speed/Tiger)

Ticker Tait (Spike)
Dredger (Action)
The Leopard From Lime St. (Buster)

Blondie - Heart Of Glass.

Been listening to the work of ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett on my USB stick which I can plug into my car. Brilliant guitar player, very emotive, melodic and progressive.

From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Live & Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, Licence To Kill.

Excellent actor who gave 100% in everything he did. A powerful presence and I personally think his best period was in the 1970s.

The Professionals was better. Starsky & Hutch was good in its first 2 series, but became too goofy and comedic because of complaints made against its violence. The Pros had a faster pace, action...
