The Bill to hang up its cuffs

I do have to say that hearing the news that 'The Bill' has been axed after 27 years, shocked me. Though I haven't watched the show in over a decade, it's one of those shows that that was part of the furniture when it comes to UK TV. With a show that runs for so long, you don't think of an end.

They say the decision was a creative one and not a way to cut cost but with a reported 90 jobs at risk, its hard not to think that way.

It will be interesting to see what takes its place in the evening schedule; more reality TV, new UK drama or imports.
