Very True Things
“He talks to himself sometimes because he’s the only one who understands what he’s saying.”

… Sun Hill police station.

By my count twenty-four officers and staff have been killed during the twenty-one years that The Bill has been on telly. Seventeen of those have been in the past five years. Sensationalist? Surely not.

I mean come on, Brownlow was forced to resign because of one corrupt officer but he “only” saw seven deaths during his sixteen years in charge. Okaro has seen eight deaths in two and half years and has had a host of other scandals (psycho-cop, another psycho-cop, rogue gun-toting cop, undercover journalist, and let’s not forget that a third psycho-cop hasn’t been discovered yet) on his watch as well. Still, he needs one more death to match Chandler’s total of nine (himself included) – in just two years.

Hmm, must find more interesting ways to spend my time.
