Iconic ITV drama The Bill first aired in 1983 until it was cancelled by the broadcaster in 2010. However, fans of the longest-running police procedural drama will be thrilled with reports that UKTV are developing a second reboot following reports that three of the original cast members were looking to revive the series.
A TV insider said: “In the minds of many producers and execs, The Bill is a drama which is just sitting, waiting, to be rebooted.
“It’s a simple format but one which attracted a loyal army of followers who would be delighted to see it return.”
“No doubt any new incarnation would be tweaked to make it attract a whole new generation to the show,” an insider told The Sun.
The drama, set in fictional Sun Hill, ran for 2,425 episodes and 26 series.
