Michele Austin (PC Yvonne Hemmingway) as Annie Webb in Dark Heart (2018). Michele appears in the final four episodes of the six part series. #TheBill #OffTheBill

📢 It's an #OffTheBill triple! 📢 Doug Rao (DS Stuart Turner), Clare Foster (PC Millie Brown) and Claire Goose (Insp Rachel Weston) appeared as Chris & Alexandra Panousis and Phoebe Kyriacou respectively in the Dark Heart episodes 'Dead Men Don't Pay Debts, Parts 1&2' (2018).

Happy Bank Holiday Monday! Here's a throwback to 2007 where Nula Conwell, Eric Richard, Mark Wingett, Trudie Goodwin and Billy Murray were advertised as appearing at Collectormania 12 in Milton Keynes! Did you go to the event and meet these Bill legends? #TheBill #OffTheBill

Spotted on our travels yesterday - two vintage Fawlty Towers VHS tapes!

Patrick Robinson (DC Jacob Banks) presented a wildlife and animal rescue series called 'Back to the Wild' in 1996 - and he made the cover of the Radio Times! #TheBill #OffTheBill #Casualty #BackToTheWild

I wanted a quick read towards the end of last week so plumped for another #Emmerdale novelisation. A little underwhelming was this one. It felt like the scraps of un-novelised storylines were used to cobble this together. #booksky

George Rossi (DC Duncan Lennox) as Sgt. Donaldson in the first episode of Trial and Retribution (1997). #TheBill #OffTheBill #TrialAndRetrubution #LyndaLaPlante #throwback #flashback #GeorgeRossi

Lucy Speed (DS Stevie Moss) appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning in a report on the making of BBC Radio 4 soap 'The Archers' of which she is a member of the cast. #TheBill #TheArchers #OffTheBill

Julie Graham (Commander Lisa Kennedy) as Elinor Shaw in the Silent Witness episodes 'Death by a Thousand Hits - Parts 1 & 2' (2024). #TheBill #OffTheBill #SilentWitness

Liz Crowther (Sgt. Jane Kendall) as Margaret Jackson in the Dalgleish episode 'A Certain Justice - Part 1' (2023). #TheBill #OffTheBill #Dalgleish

Some stills from 'I Am Pilate' featuring Shaun Scott. #TheBill #OffTheBill

Shaun Scott (DI Chris Deakin) as Elderly Pilate in the excellent short film 'I Am Pilate' (2020). You can watch it on Youtube: youtu.be/xxt5B8xHusI #TheBill #OffTheBill

Alex Walkinshaw (Insp. Dale Smith) as Ross Marshall in EastEnders. Stills from various episodes from June and July 2025. #TheBill #OffTheBill #EastEnders

Melanie Kilburn (PC Laura Bryant) as Carol Anderson in the Soldier, Soldier episode 'All The King's Men' (1991). Melanie would appear throughout the first series. #TheBill #OffTheBill #SoldierSoldier

Nula Conwell (D.C. Viv Martella) appearing on the Cluedo episode 'The Hanged Man' (1993). #TheBill #OffTheBill #Cluedo #throwback #flashback

A recent pre #TheakstonsCrime read was 'Wycliffe in Paul's Court'. I loved the 90's TV series and I occasionally dip into the book series. At just over 200 pages, this was actually nice, quick and quirky read. #booksky

A nice turnout tonight for Dial Lane Books' July Book Group meet where @katiewardwriter.bsky.social discussed her novel 'Pathways'. #booksky #bookgroup #diallanebooks

Remembering Hulk Hogan... when he was in The A-Team.

New on YouTube! A comparison video of the four versions of the title sequence used in the fourth series of Where The Heart Is. youtu.be/1V6-JZydC7k?...

Richard Huw (MIT's Doctor John Cornell) as Tom Hayes in Series 2 of The Bay (2021). Reunited with his MIT co-star Lindsey Coulson in all of his scenes. #MIT #OffMIT #TheBill #OffTheBill #TheBay #spinoffsunday

They say avoid working with children and animals... and members of the public? Look closely at these two scenes with Pam Ferris and Tony Haygarth. In the background of the first are a couple of gawpers and in the second two lads and a man notice the camera... #WhereTheHeartIs

After a series of new arrivals, Kathryn Hunt would depart the show at the end of this series to join Fat Friends (although her character Cheryl would be recast). The fifth series in 2001 would see more cast changes... #WhereTheHeartIs

Peak Practice's Hazel Ellerby, Sharon Duce, Corrie's Jane Hazlegrove and Mark Lewis Jones all guest stars in the fourth series of Where The Heart Is.

David Ross, The Bill's Jo Dow, Olivier Pierre and Charles Dale all appear in the fourth series of Where The Heart Is.

Other well-known faces on the fourth series of Where The Heart Is include Matilda Ziegler, Corrie's Malcolm Hebden, John McArdle and Casualty's Barbara Marten.

The fourth series of Where The Heart Is boasts a stellar line up of guest stars including Tracy Brabin, Jean Alexander, Keith Barron and a young Sheridan Smith.

Former Casualty star Vincenzo Pellegrino also joins the series as Nurse Chris Eckersley. #WhereTheHeartIs

Following Pam Ferris' departure, Leslie Ash joins the cast together with Philip Middlemiss and Kelly Wenham. A young Christian Cooke also joins the cast from the start of the series as Luke Kirkwall, son of Lesley's Anna.

The fourth series of ITV's medical drama series Where The Heart Is aired between April and September 2000. This series saw the addition of Lesley Dunlop to the cast and the departure of Pam Ferris in the eighth episode.

Another recent read was the Crucible: Kirk #StarTrek novel released way back when to celebrate 40 years of The Original Series. Much like the recent Unification short film, I felt like this book should have let Kirk rest following his death in the movie Generations. Well written though! #booksky

Wendy Kweh (DC Suzie Sim) as Lyn Chee in the second series of The Bay (2021). Wendy appears in all six episodes of this series, occasionally being credited on the main titles. #TheBill #OffTheBill #TheBay

A recent read was my June James Patterson. Revenge is the second of two books in the David Shelley series and is a cracking thriller with plenty of twists and turns. Let's not mention that I read the first book, Hunted, back in 2020 🙈 #booksky #amreading

Monday.

On this day in 1973, the final episode of The Green Death was broadcast.

And there's more photos over on Insta 😁
