I think they did a good job. It can't be easy acting in front of 8 million viewers, live on national TV. My hat goes off to them, especially the production team who did a cracking job of co-ordinating the events.

PC Best...total nutter, runs everywhere, 12 year old cop...his dad was found dead....so he threw himself (and the bloke that killed daddy) off a building...will he live wont he live...ohhhhh!
Sgt Smithy.....despite being ex forces and also ex SO19 let an injured gunmen hold him hostage for ages...despite the gunman standing beside him most of the time with the gun pointing in any direction but smithys!
Polly....prob going to jail, jurys out
Cathy...my GOD..when will she get caught, her story line is now 17 years old.
Des...despite ppl saying things like "his radio is the only thing thats left" he is actualy alive and hiding (in the police car park) which is pretty obvious as if a plastic radio can last the fire im sure his pelvis would have thus leaving some clue to the mad police who think he his combusted!
Thats it.
T
ps- jim is getting beaten up by ugly fat wife.
pps- mrs tiggs thinks there is some smithy/gold action coming up....sick but possible.
ppps- when you storm a police van you give the signal to GO by waving your arms in the air like a ****.

OK - You have a job on the Bill - Someone is supposed to die 'live.' The producer tells you at 6.30 that it will be you. What do you do
1. Play dead as instructed and lose your livelyhood
2. Just as you are about to get knifed, kick the **** out of the drunk and keep your job (for a short while anyway
)

bring back z cars!!!
To be honest commendable effort i thought. To get lines right first time must be pretty tough. At least in the theatre they are doing it night in night out.
Must be the most dangerous police station in the country though!!!

I was obviously the only one watching for the storyline and not for the mistakes
Feckin' teletubbies has more of a storyline

and I'd hardly call Becker a regular - she was a new character and the only thing she seemed to be a part of was the lesbian affair with Debbie or have I missed more than I thought?

Good on them for doing a Live version, can't be easy. I remember seeing both the live ER episodes (they did two, one for Eastern and one for Pacific timezones) and yes there were the odd missed lines and stuff, but very well done indeed. Same as the remake of Failsafe, as that was televised live.
Would have loved to have seen this. I do admit the bill has gone downhill in the past 6 years or so, I remember when it was on at 9pm for an hour, Dad wouldn;t let me watch it
I'd quite like to see Casualty live, that might be good.
