Apparently my dad worked near the Sun Hill set and went past it every day. Then I'd be watching it on TV! Plus now my sister is a Met police officer, something I am so proud of her for!
This brought tears to my eyes. We can argue about how effective and how "socially challenged" (by society's ills) the real police was during the show's run, but the statistics show that crime is well down, so the police did a good job for the most part. Do faster and safer cars mean driving has got worse? Yes. Has the war on drugs totally failed? Yes. Do people feel safer? No. But politicians, managers and technocrats can't or won't look at the individual's experience of the law, just at the aggregate.
I think the series should've ended with Tony Stamp having his leaving/retirement party, with some of his old friends like Reg and June attending. Imagine having a bunch of past and present characters heading off together at the end, accompanied by this classic theme music - it would've been such a great finale. I'm glad Meadows got the final appearance though, since he was the longest serving character at this stage.
This is really good, but I personally preferred what they did do, mixing the old and new together. I think it was a good nod to the past, while showing that life does go on, as the final episode was supposed to do. That said, this is a better tune, and I like how you've done it.
Aww why didn't they actually do this? It should've been obvious considering changing the format of the show, and scrapping the classic music is what got them took off the air in the first place.
still find it funny ITV axed this classic due to falling ratings yet 14 years after the final episode it's being watched by many. Also 3 "reality" shows they kept on one of which is still airing never got more viewers than the bill did at it's lowest

This is how the show should of ended. That would of been a nice touch to remind people of the old days
woollett182 they should done the footsteps ending as a mark of respect
@PeckyThePigeon I wish 😂
This is how it ended
@@woollett182 he was talking to me lol
should HAVE
The timing is just spot-on with this even if I do blow my own trumpet... Gov.
Nicely done and a great idea.
Meadows leaving the station is like the Cowboy riding off into the sunset

Love this! The 1988 theme tune gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Take me back to those times. I really miss 'The Bill' and those days.
Bring Back The Bill
Yeah
bring back the bill 2016!
DoctorWhoRoblox2012 y
The bill is coming back. Cant be the only ones who's fucking buzzing. Feel like a kid again
they shud have ended it like this as a sign of respect
***** You so should do a Police Drama. There so many ideas to base it on.
They should have done the footsteps ending rather than zooming over sunhill
words can't describe how happy this makes me! And kudos on the timing - good editing!
Put The Telly On I wish The Bill final episode had this 1988 theme tune as you did here. Awesome job mate.
yes I am mate.
We need the bill back 2019 is the year it should start
I remember watching this a few years back
The show ends with one of its best characters ever. The Bill .

i love this!!
THE BILL 4EVER!
THIS MAKES ME WANNA CRY COZ MY FAVOURITE PROGRAMMAE HAS GONE FOREVER!
Great job I say. This is how it should have been.
for me the old theme of the Bill will be the best
I love this great work.
miss this so much :/
ITV should have had this theme music at then of the final episode
Superintendent Meadows forgets where he parked his car...
fits well with the music, LOVE IT!
Bring back the bill 2018
This works really well, Well Done. Bring Back The Bill
Yes i'm a big The Bill Fan
This is great! Why didn't they do something like this for real?
It absolutely should have ended with this music. I also think the shot could have developed into the feet walking down the cobbled street.
They should have used this theme with the last ever show
As jacks car pulls out fade to Black then Feet walking away
The Americans had Cops, we ahd The BIll. Icon of 90s evening ITV.
Spot on
Its coming back yesss
This is definitely how the bill ended for me after seeing this
@Antony68h1 the 88 theme in full is on youtube. use a vid t mp3 site to turn it into an mp3
back in the day, cried about. nowadays, celebrated.
very good video better than the real thing
I loved the bill best program on.tv i miss it
its coming back
the episode top gear van challenge Brought me here

Agreed should of ended like this
Should have kept its classic theme song to the end...
I miss the bill
this how it went
@kelloggs871 But they DID use the original theme for the closing of the final episode!
Apparently the last theme has subtle hints harking back to the original theme if you focus really hard enough 😛
The Bill is currently being shown on TV channel Drama!
+Douglas Williams Yeah? Didn't say it for the hell of it! 😂😂
Fantastic! It would have been so good if they did this instead of the depressing new age muzak they put on instead.
Can you do a mock with the 1999 theme? That's the one that has emphasis on the saxophone.
That is exactly how I'd have done it.
Aw, you should have used the original tune, though this is the more famous one.
This is the 2nd version of Overkill the first one has more drum beats and no screechy music.
Yay, we did it guys, the bill is ended forever
Now it’s time for me to enjoy watching BFDI and city island
Aww why didn't they actually do this? It should've been obvious considering changing the format of the show, and scrapping the classic music is what got them took off the air in the first place.
Much better!
This is how it should have been
@Antony68h1 The theme music? No afraid not. It should be somewhere on there.
can u put this on itunes?
I forgot he gets into a Ford Mondeo.
This program should never got the axe! Can’t see why they did it? It was one of best programmes that Thames tv made
Bring back the bill
@MrSierraone How do you mean? It wouldn't fit?
Yay, the bill got cancelled
Now that show is cancelled, my daddy would not watch this, and this means I’m gonna have myself fun to watch Bo On The Go on RUclips
They should have used that dance song that’s always played on the estates.
still find it funny ITV axed this classic due to falling ratings yet 14 years after the final episode it's being watched by many. Also 3 "reality" shows they kept on one of which is still airing never got more viewers than the bill did at it's lowest
for old times sake i#d have loved them to put the feet closing sequence in
IMO, they should have mixed in the various themes that they had over the 30 or so years of the programme into the final closing credits.
Like they did with the final episode of Neighbours.
Yes, no more the bill
Now I can watch the owl house all day
@CHANNELMICHAEL I thought he was looking at Grace and Neil personally
-.- i mean THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD OF ENDED WITH THE OLD THEM MUSIC >.< they did a big mistake ending it like this
They should have ended it with the old style music
