List Of Awards Of The Bill
''The Bill'' is a British police procedural television series that ran from 1984 to 2010. The show, whose name is derived from "old bill"—a British slang term for police officers—was unusual among police dramas in that it focused on the lives and work of one shift of police officers, rather than on any particular aspect of police work. The series originated in 1983 as a one-off drama titled ''Woodentop'' (another British slang term for the police, derived from the helmets worn by British police officers), written by Geoff McQueen and produced by Thames Television. ITV were sufficiently impressed with ''Woodentop'' that they commissioned a series, which started in 1984 under the title of ''The Bill''.

''The Bill'' has earned various awards and nominations during its ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
