The Bill » 6x63 - Attitudes - the classic 'steal his chips' flirtation method
A song about THAT love triangle. Life is a lot right now and one of my favourite forms of stress release is writing silly songs about special interests and putting them to music using Suno. Language warning ;)
15.82 A Day to Remember
I'm working on updating some of the 'extra pages' and I'm starting to become amazed at how quickly some of the relationships progressed.
Honey Harman and Scott Burnett:
They met in Episode 278 when Scott's wife was murdered.
They slept together for the first time 282 just a couple of episodes after Scott's wife's body was found. (She didn't dump Steve Hunter until episode 283...!)
They got engaged in episode 291.
The wedding was episode 307!
29 episodes from first meeting!
Dave Quinnan and Jenny Delaney
Whilst Dave and Jenny had a longer period from the first meeting, given that y'know... Dave was unconscious [2nd March 99/Badlands], they didn't hold back!
Dave found out George and Jenny were dating on 22nd April/Look Away Now.
They realised they wanted each other in Pillow Talk/6th July when Dave was on an overnight guard job at St Hughes.
George wanted to propose to Jenny in the next episode 8th July/Heavy Plant Crossing (he's another fast mover, but I haven't included it because Jenny clearly doesn't feel the same and it's more plot device than actual romance) but Jenny postpones and won't let him know how she really feels. Jenny and Dave get it ooooon and Jenny escapes to Colombia as part of an earthquake clean-up crew.
George goes to propose properly on the 12th October in Love And War part 1 because Jenny is finally returning from Colombia. He sees Dave and Jenny together and part 2 continues with the chaos and George leaving.
18th November/Security is Dave trying to find time to propose whilst uniform gives Jenny the cold shoulder.
15th December/A Night To Forget - Dave's stag night and Jenny's hen night.
16th December/A Day To Remember - the wedding.
So whilst it is officially 70 episodes from the first meeting, if we go from their affair starting, it is only 42. If we go from 'Love And War' when they were actually 'together' without George's interference, then it is 19 episodes from a proper relationship without the complicated stuff and wedding!
Our final couple beat everyone hands down!
Jim Carver and Marie Graham.
Marie and Jim end up in bed on their first meeting, Episode 099.
Jim tries to put distance between them in episode 100, but he's still her FLO after the death of her daughter.
They have a slightly rocky relationship from episode 101 to 112 when Marie proposes to Jim.
Jim accepts in 113 (with June thinking that he's going to propose to her after her 'break' in episode 115).
Jim and Marie get married in 119!
20 episodes from meeting each other, and 18 episodes from actually getting together!

15.50 Critical Mass
There’s a bomb in the station, Andrew is (mostly) brave, Derek is (entirely) tactless, and Jack doesn’t realise the obvious until it’s too late.
15.82 A Day to Remember (Part One)
CARVER: Cup of coffee? MONROE: *groan* Where am I? CARVER: You’re in my flat, sir. I brought you home last night. MONROE: My wife! CARVER: Don’t worry, I rang her. I told her that the curry disagreed with you. MONROE: *groan* CARVER: We’ve still got plenty of time to get you home and changed before the wedding. MONROE: What wedding?
HOLLIS: (voiceover) PC Smith is in a off-the-peg cheap suit from one of the high street retail outlets, whereas PC Klein has gone for a figure-hugging designer suit—
HOLLIS: (voiceover) Just filming the guests as they process inside the registry office. Or in Tony Stamp’s case, as they manhandle a male IC1 on the other side of the street.
LENNOX: I’ve got footage of the six most active suspects. I’ll play this during the briefing on Monday, before uniform go out to the Parkmead. *cut to shot of Smithy*
(To be continued…)
15.13 Badlands
STAMP: I thought he was going on leave. LENNOX: So did we all.
Everyone’s so good in this episode. Some seriously great acting across the board. While it’s Dave who’s it’s life & death for, this is really a John Boulton character study episode. I’m not sure if this is the first time someone calls him Robocop, but having George say it here is so perfect because from start to finish this is an episode about John being anything but a robot. He feels things very deeply, but is super uncomfortable with emotions, so he tries to overcome the feelings through action, with no thought about anything but fixing the feelings by putting the bad guys behind bars. Of course, it’s not always that easy, so all that emotion escapes in the form of anger/violence. And then, when it’s over, he has to face the consequences of acting without thinking and the guilt of innocent people being caught in the crossfire, and the pattern starts all over again.
I don’t know why it is, but the most important episodes always seem to have the absolute worst video quality.
