Press Release
On the 16 th of August 1983, the UK saw the broadcast of Woodentop – an episode in the Thames Television series Storyboard. This would become the pilot episode of the incredibly long-running police procedural series The Bill.
Over 40 cast and crew have shared their memories of working on all 35 of the original hour-long episodes, detailing how this groundbreaking series was created. These in-depth interviews also reveal how these innovative creatives, many being interviewed for the very first time, began their careers in television production. Twenty cast members have shared their memories, alongside key figures from behind the scenes sharing their production tales. A full list of contributors for this book, the first to be published about The Bill in over a decade, will be announced soon.
Witness Statements also features rare and previously unreleased behind the scenes photographs, plus viewing figures for selected episodes published for the first time!
