yeah if you look at long standing characters on the wiki it goes from listing police incidents to mainly personal life/relationships. killed the show. I'm so chuffed to find these episodes though, gonna listen to them all ☺️

I love  John, worked with  him for 5 years  or so!!  Great  man!

I totally agree with the comment he made about the show changing, I stopped watching when the show concentrated about the personal side of the characters

The Bill Podcast 119: Jane Wall (PC Di Worrell) Part 1

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Natalie Roles, aka D.S. Debbie McSanta takes her good friend Jane Wall back in time as they do a deep dive into her time as P.C. Di Worrell. Jane shares some absolutely brilliant memories and insight here - including her interview for the job and the production team's reason for creating Di. There's memories of filming and Natalie also reads out a message from an old friend... There's LOADS of gold-dust in this and that's before we even get near the Marquess era, which will be coming up in Part 3, though you won't have to wait until next month - as a festive treat, we'll be releasing Part 3 on New Years Eve, to see out 2023. 

Thank you all so much for supporting The Bill Podcast in 2023, especially our sponsors georgefairbrother.com  shop.saturdaymorningpress.co.uk and cityfiction.co.uk

The Bill Podcast 120: Jane Wall (PC Di Worrell) Part 2

New Years Eve is perhaps the perfect time to release this interview, as Jane recalls the fireworks that were going off behind the scenes in 2002 with the arrival of new Executive Producer Paul Marquess. Jane had never seen her explosive exit from The Bill until Oliver sent her a highlights reel of her time as Di Worrell ahead of this interview and so we hear Jane's thoughts on this for the very first time. 

New Years Eve is also a time for reflection and to look ahead at new beginnings and Jane's new life in L.A. has brought her some exciting acting work, including playing the lead in the film "Are We Lost" which you'll be hearing all about later in this interview.

So grab some party food, sit back and enjoy this final slice of gold dust for 2023! Our huge thanks also to all of you who have supported The Bill Podcast this year, including our special guests, our Patreon supporters and our sponsors George Fairbrother, Michael Seely and Tony Drury.
