History[edit]
Following the pilot in 1983, the first proper episode of The Bill was transmitted in 1984 and since then The Bill has gone through a magnitude of changes. From the days and times that the show airs, to the characters and storylines, everything is always evolving to keep up with the times. Starting with hour-long separate storylines, The Bill went on to be half an hour in length between 1987 and 1998 before going back to hour-long episodes. From 1998 until 2002, The Bill got more serialised and when Paul Marquess took over in 2002 The Bill almost became a "police-soap". This was met with some controversy from long-time bill-fans who wanted The Bill to return to individual episode storylines. Under Johnanthan Young, who took over as executive producer in 2005, the more sensational and sometimes unrealistic storylines have been dropped, with more time being spent on crime storylines.
