THE BILL: FIRSTS AND LASTS
Mirror page established on CB&M 10th January, 2005, corrected.
BUT NOT UPDATED SINCE 2005. See the Forum for updated version.

This first and last guide has been compiled by Jamie (DCS) and JamaicaLane with the help of Emony, Governor, Jimsgirl, MikeB, Matthew, Woodworm and Dave W. Referencing from Sierra Oscar’s Billboard site and the old official Bill website plus The Bill Bible (Jan 2003)

Cast listed alphabetically according to rank.

Chief Supt. Charles Brownlow

First: Funny Ol’ Business – Cops and Robbers (16/10/84)
Last: All Fall Down part I (27/10/00)
Guest:
# 012 (02/05/02)

Brownlow was posted to Area in Pass the Parcel (28/10/94) and became more of an occasional guest character, in the vein of Chief Supt. Mannion today. He returned as operational commander of Sun Hill in Back in Business (09/02/96)

Supt. Tom Chandler

First: On the Hook part I (03/11/00)
Last: # 053 (16/10/02)

Okaro is credited for the first episode of M.I.T (03/05/03) but did not appear.

Chief Insp. Philip Cato

First: Shock to the System (26/01/93)
Last: Is that the Time? (03/03/95)

Chief Insp. Derek Conway

First: Double Trouble (09/11/87)
Last: # 005 (28/03/02)

Ben Roberts appears uncredited as a background character in Double Trouble. Considering his character has Chief Insp. pips it’s not unreasonable to assume that this is one and the same person. His first on-screen credited appearance is The Three Wise Monkeys (21/07/88). Conway applies for the position of Community Liaison Officer in New Tune, Old Fiddle (12/01/93) and becomes CLO in Shock to the System (26/01/93). When Brownlow is transferred to Area, Conway, Cato and Meadows all apply for his job in Pipped at the Post (04/11/94). Conway is successful and becomes Acting-Superintendent. When Brownlow returns in Back in Business (09/02/96) Conway returns to Ops Chief Insp. and no explanation is given as to what happened to the CLO or Mr Stritch.

Chief Insp. Paul Stritch

First: Little Green Apples (28/03/95)

Duncan transfers hastily to MIT in # 037 (22/08/02), and returns as part of the Team just over a month later to investigate the serial killer murders in Sun Hill, apparently still as a regular cast member (according to thebill.com).

I was in two minds as to list PC Hughes and Sgt. Lamont or not. They are credited onscreen in some episodes, but are often in the same background status as DC Tom ‘Trev/Vic’ Baker. Ultimately their exclusion from The Bill Bible (2003 ed.) implies to me that they are not meant to be considered as regulars.

For the record the earliest appearance I have for PC Hughes is A Death in the Family (23/02/89); Sgt. Lamont appeared in Seen to Be Done (31/08/1989).
