Dog Eat Dog (The Bill)
The 14th series of ''The Bill'', a British television drama, consisted of 121 episodes, broadcast between 1 January and 31 December 1998. For the first half of this series, the episodes were filmed in 1997, but aired in 1998. Background The series began with the appointment of new executive producer Richard Handford, who replaced Michael Chapman after his 9-year reign came to an end in the previous series. The appointment preceded discussions with broadcaster ITV about returning to the format of hour-long episodes, which the show last used on a regular basis in 1987. The request was approved, and hour-long episodes began to air twice weekly beginning in August, a format the series retained until moving to a later time-slot in 2009. Due to the rapid transition, several of the first hour-long episodes were originally written for the half-hour time-slot, and thus, some episodes contain two completely different stories, written by different writers, which jump from one to another. ...
