GUNS AND RATINGS
#TheBill clocks up its 500th episode next week. How does ITV's thrice-weekly crime soap measure up to vintage American shows like Hill Street Blues? The Evening Standard sifts through the evidence . . .
Look familiar?
The Snow Hill Police Station in the classic computer game 'The Getaway' was modelled after the Merton Sun Hill building.
Insode, the front office and canteen in particular look very familiar...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor mugshot.
I see Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's mugshot, I immediately hear the theme music from #TheBill. Remember: He hasn't been arrested for his alleged vile crimes against women and children. He's been arrested for allegedly sharing UK Govt trade secrets with Epstein. 🚔 #RoyalFamily #UKPolitics #UKjustice
