Episode1.3 (the Bill)





This is an episode of the long running British Police drama The Bill , broadcast on the ITV Network.


SYNOPSIS

When a young man in murdered on the local Housing Estate , PC Carver attempts to get rid of the long held suspicion that the kids have of police officers by offering to become involved in opening a social club in the area. However, his and June's investigations into the man who previously owned the club turn up some unhappy ghosts.


NOTES

  • The Bill creator Geoff McQueen later stated that one of his series strengths was the fact that "we never show the criminals devising their plan without a police officer being present in the scene". However, there are in fact several times in the first series when this is not the case. Clutching at Straws begins very much in the mode of setting up the crime taking place, well before any of the officers make an appearance.
