By Oliver Crocker

★★★★★ "TRULY ASTONISHING RESEARCH FANS WILL LOVE EVERY TINY DETAIL " - Jon Iles (DC Mike Dashwood)

Discover how the first 48 half-hour episodes of The Bill were brought to life, through a series of in-depth interviews with 60 cast and crew, including legendary actors Colin Blumenau (PC Edwards), Graham Cole (PC Stamp), Nula Conwell (WPC Martella), Larry Dann (Sgt. Peters), Peter Ellis (Chief Supt. Brownlow), Chris Ellison (DI Burnside), Trudie Goodwin (WPC Ackland), Ashley Gunstock (PC Frank), Robert Hudson (PC Smith), Jon Iles (DC Dashwood), Mark Powley (PC Melvin), Nick Reding (PC Ramsey), Eric Richard (Sgt. Cryer), Barbara Thorn (Insp. Frazer), Eamonn Walker (PC Haynes) and Mark Wingett (PC Carver), along with some of the programme's most prolific writers and visionary creatives, many of whom interviewed for the very first time.

Throughout this 320-page investigation, every episode is accompanied by detailed Observation Notes, revealing filming locations, production dates, viewing figures, character notes, unmade storylines and much more.

Featuring 40 previously unpublished behind-the-scenes photographs, Oliver Crocker's second Witness Statements book is the most thorough investigation ever undertaken of how the bi-weekly format of The Bill was created.
