I thought the ghost of Mark McManus (the original Taggart), was in church this morning for BBC One Christmas service 🙈 (Bottom left)

Merry Christmas! I hope you all got what you asked Santa for 😁🎅🎄🎁

Merry Christmas! Did you find any #TheBill related gifts under your tree?

Caroline Catz (Sgt. Rosie Fox) appears as Dawn in this advert for Preston Front on BBC1 in 1995. #TheBill #OffTheBill #PrestonFront #CarolineCatz #AllQuietOnThePrestonFront

Ever since I started my #Dangerfield (re)watch in 2022, my single memory of the series was a scene on a driving range at night. I finally reached it this week in Series 5, Episode 2 "The Long Weekend". The idea of heading off to the driving range in the evening fascinated me as a kid! 🙈🏌‍♂️⛳️

Kevin Whately (Dr. Jack Kerruish) as Neville Hope in the fourth series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (2004). #PeakPractice #KevinWhately #OffPeaks

Claire Goose (Inspector Rachel Weston) as Jacqui Fischer in the fourth series of The Bay (2023). #TheBill #OffTheBill #TheBay

Matthew Crompton (PC Sam Harker) in panto? Oh yes he did! From his Saturday Disney days in 1997, Matthew is advertised in Babes In The Wood at the City Varieties Music Hall in Leeds. #TheBill #OffTheBill

Recently repeated on BBC Four, The Precious Blood is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Amanda Burton (Dr. Beth Glover) as Rosie Willis in The Precious Blood (1996). #PeakPractice #OffPeaks

Before I hit the Christmas reads, I plumped for The Body on the Doorstep by A.J. Mackenzie, a solid historical read for autumn nights. #booksky

Sally Rogers (Sgt. Jo Masters) as Portia Dane in the Shakespeare & Hathaway episode 'Most Wicked Speed' (2022). #TheBill #OffTheBill

Look who popped up on an old advert for Birds of a Feather? 😁 #TheBill #OffTheBill

Michael Parkinson's 1981 interview with Goldie Hawn features some very tight close ups of both Goldie and Parky which feels very odd, especially compared to the other interviews in the episode with Thora Hird and John Blashford-Snell (and other editions of the era). #ThrowbackThursday

Anyone read the wartime saga #Corrie books? They're a guilty pleasure of mine 🙈

Zoe Eeles (Burnside's DC Sam Phillips) as Tina in Series 4 of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (2004). Zoe appears throughout the series starting with the second episode and according to IMDB, this was Zoe's last screen role. #Burnside #Burnside25 #ZoeEeles #TheBill #aufweidersehenpet

Abhin Galeya (PC Arun Ghir and MIT's DC Simon Tait) as Kit Willow in the Shakespeare & Hathaway episode 'Hunger for Bread' (2022). #TheBill #OffTheBill #MurderInvestigationTeam #OffMIT

Network DVD and Blu-rays are available again via Future Network/Quoit Media futurenetwork.wales?v=7885444af42e Liquidated stock apparently. Now I can finally buy Bottoms Up! on blu-ray and never watch it.

Roberta Taylor (Insp. Gina Gold) as the Witch Chef in The Witches (1990). #TheBill #OffTheBill #RobertaTaylor #RoaldDahl #TheWitches

When you need to bump up your Goodreads challenge total, a couple of #DoctorWho graphic novels always help 😊 #booksky

Finished watching four parter The Game this evening. The second half was much better and pacier shown by me watching the last two episodes in as many evenings when it took me four months to get through the first two 🙈 Great to see Robson Green as the villain.

Sad to hear Jack Shepherd has passed away. He was great in Wycliffe in the 90's and I was lucky to see him on stage in Ipswich alongside Terrence Hardiman a few years back, their Q&A afterwards was an added bonus.

Change would be afoot come the six series of Where The Heart Is in 2002 with several cast changes both on and off screen but for now, the locals of Skelthwaite end 2001 on a high.

Further notable guests include #DowntonAbbey's Kevin Doyle, Nigel Whitmey, Clive Russell and in a recurring role, Shirley Anne Field. #WhereTheHeartIs

For fans of #TheBill, two main cast members appear in the fifth series of Where The Heart Is - Robert Perkins and Ciaran Griffiths appear in the same episode!

More notable guests in the fifth series of Where The Heart Is include Paola Dionisotti, Victor McGuire, Terence Harvey and Philip Martin Brown.

Other notable guests include Casualty's Lee Warburton, London's Burning's Samantha Beckinsale and The Bill villain Mark Frost. #WhereTheHeartIs

Three future #Corrie stars appear in guest roles in Series 5 of #WhereTheHeartIs - Richard Hawley, Katy Cavanagh and a very young Sam Aston!

William Travis returns as Dick Lampard with Phillippa Wilson taking on the role of Dick's wife, Cheryl. Joseph Aston returns as their adopted son Oscar. Tom Chadbon joins the cast in the recurring role of Dr. Kenworthy. #WhereTheHeartIs

Andrew Knott and Kelly Wenham return in the fifth series of Where The Heart Is. Andrew would be credited on the main titles during the second half of the series before departing before the sixth series.

Jason Done and Paulette P Williams return to Where The Heart Is for the final time as they depart mid way during the series. Kellie Bright joins the cast with Vincenzo Pellegrino also featuring in his second and last series.

The fifth series of ITV drama Where The Heart Is aired during the summer of 2001. Lesley Dunlop, Leslie Ash, Tony Haygarth, Thomas Craig and Philip Middlemiss all returned for this series.

David Bradley (#DoctorWho) also stars as Sweeney's Father whose attempts at blackmail result in a memorable if cruel fate for the character.

Do you remember the BBC version of Sweeney Todd from 2006 starring Ray Winstone, Tom Hardy, David Warner and Essie Davis?

Seeta Indrani (W.P.C. Norika Datta) as Cecilia Tekler in the Shakespeare & Hathaway episode 'The Rascal Cook' (2018). #TheBill #OffTheBill #SeetaIndrani #ShakespeareandHathaway #NorikaDatta
