What are some of your favourite episodes of the bill?

Oooh crikey, so many! Thank you for the question! These are in no particular order. Also apologies for the formatting, I'm on my phone trying to reply and remember which numbered episode is which and have to go check some of them to ensure they're right as I've bounced everywhere around timelines the last couple of years doing the recaps and they blurred.

* All Change, the millennium new years eve when cid became uniform for the night.

* Respect 1 and 2, the end episodes. I don't like the way some of the character storylines were wound up but those two episodes were an amazing tribute.

* The Chief Super's Party, June and Roy flirting at the bar, Brownlow deeply unimpressed by the company that Roy kept. Roy getting one over on the super without Brownlow even realising which allowed him to support Ted. Ted's drunk driving crash ending up with him sleeping on a boat overnight and solving a robbery to save his job whilst hungover.

* The Target Trilogy, June and Steve get shot at. It's thought that it's Steve being targeted but they soon realise how wrong they are. Poor Jo 😕

* An Honour To Serve, Gina's last episodes. Smithy's kiss on the cheek and how much he respects her 💔❤️ "Goodnight Ma'am" (RIP Roberta ❤️)

* Lullaby with Smithy going from reading Tim a bedtime story in a cell with absolutely no feeling in his voice through to him singing 5 little speckled frogs to try keep him calm and not worry him when they were kidnapped.

* Integrity, Nicks first episodes. The contrast of him and Smithy paired together is awesome. Especially when they unite.

* Gunrunner, Smithy and guns...

* Witness and the episodes featuring Carly in the run up. Smithy really became the paternal figure that he didn't want to initially and cared about her, Leanne and Brooke. (& laughing at Nate when he runs the wrong way after sending him to chase after her whilst he stands and has a nice little chat.)

* Righteous Kill 1 and 2, Max protecting the wife and son of a man he shot in S019.

* Brittaniamania, Mickey undercover as a football hooligan and Debbie pretending to be his girlfriend with Dave and Paul his workmates though Paul being shit at plastering almost got them caught.

* Episode 154, the aftermath of Mickeys rape. The acting is incredible.

* Tinderbox, Brownlow, Conway and Meadows in an outward bounds team building course against Manion and his cocky cheating team.

* Conviction - particularly the riot training episode where Smithy and Callum end up having a physical fight to end their frustration over what happened with Devlin. The last episode of that is a bit frustrating though as I don't think Smithy could give his guilt over that quickly to accept a promotion when it was eating him alive. It made out he and Stevie had continued a thing from Gunrunner too that they hadn't. (the promotion thing bugged me so much I made a fic about it)

* First Impressions 1 and 2, purely for WUK (or "WUS!") and nick and uniform hiding in Diane's cupboard to watch Ben on cctv.

* Blurred Around The Edges, Smithy's army friend makes an appearance and turns his world upside down. (another I did a fic about!)

* Soft Talking, Smithy delivers a baby in the middle of a street and has to try and find the mother when she disappears and get her away from the abusive boyfriend and dad.

* When the snow lay roundabout, Danny the elf knowing what Matt secretly wished, Reg being the only copper out because of the snow (he'd only gone to get a Christmas tree) Rod trying to scam uniform, a cheeky kid outing him and helping polly and Gary trim the tree and the barbershop quartet!

* PC Smith, Needing to show himself in a good light, Smithy volunteers with Nick to look after a gay couple who are receiving homophobic threats. Everyone is surprised, not least Smithy himself.

*Episode 372, Cop The Lot "Simon Cowell eat your heart out!"

* Cowboy Country, Max ends up using his mother's priest to try track a Polish criminal down

*Game Plan, Max goes undercover with the Monks family.

* Tolerance, Smithy's C019 training and interview.

* Episode 69 and 70, cop idol and Cass being taken hostage and murdered by the serial killer 💔

* 117 and 118 Smithy's first 2 Sgt episodes including singing at the gay club.

* Good Cop Bad Cop , callum's first. Smithy leaps on him twice and Dan is NOT impressed when Callum acts all dodgy and tries to shut him out.

* 131 Smithy goes undercover in prison to try locate some expensive cars and Ken's son.

* 138 and 139 Smithy and Gina go out for a drink and end up in a drinking game. Smithy cheats! "You're a cab!" The next morning Gina had a little prang and all hell breaks loose.

* 162 the first live episode

* 205 206 Nicks last episodes before going into witness protection. I hate that they didn't make more of his and Sgt!smithy's past but at least they acknowledge it in this episode. It's just a shame that a lot of newer viewers would have been confused as hell at what was going on with their goodbye.

* 214 215 the start of Gina and Jonathan properly.

* Appropriate Force, Callum comes face to face with his ex and her criminal husband. Smithy has to literally pull him away from beating the husband into a pulp for attacking his wife.

* 237 Jim and June get married. For the cast dressed up, Smithy teasing Gina about settling down and shoving her forward to catch the bouquet and the beautiful Gina and Jonathan moments. Though sadly they do end up breaking up.

Killer On The Run, Ryan Jones blames Smithy for him killing his wife. (Smithy had let slip that Ryan was infatuated with a prostitute the episode before) and tries to take revenge, holding both Smithy and Pauline, Smithy's mother at gunpoint at various times

* 272 273 Gina taken hostage by Irene Radford and the story of their history and how alike they were falls out.

* 286 Dan's first appearance at the driving school with Amber and Leela. Amber's attempts to get in with the instructor once she finds out she's a lesbian is hilarious.

* 288 289 Andrea is found out and the station explodes in a fireball thanks to Colin Fairfax. Smithy and Ken's final scene is heartbreaking 💔

*298 Dan transfers and puts himself in danger rescuing a woman who is treated as a slave by those she works for as well as being raped by the father. Rosa is terrified but Dan tries to help, made harder by the fact she's deaf and doesn't speak English.

* 302 303 Mickey returns with MIT colleagues and arrests Neil. It's a heartbreaking look at what the rape had done to Mickey or "Michael" as he insists he is now and then something further breaks his heart....

* 327 Gina is found having collapsed at home by Smithy and Jonathan. Gina and Jonathan have a heart to heart and she almost tells him she wants to reunite... Right as he tells her he has a girlfriend. She forces herself to let him go for good 💔💔

* 349 second live episode and the end of Prosser.

* 360 and 361 Dan finally discovers who it is that has been blackmailing him about his affair and a lot is revealed about his history in these 2.

* 402 403 Smithy returns to work after the Larson debarkle to find Gina graffiting his welcome back posters and his first case involving his ex cellmate

* The Fat Lady Sings, Dave is approached by an opera singer who tells him she's being stalked. He ignores her and soon regrets it. Duncan arrives and arouses suspicions when the others realise he lives in a fancy penthouse apartment and has connections in the operatic world.

* Whose Side Are You On?, Dashers arranges a football match against a group of teens and lets Viv play in goal. (Vivs only experience being netball) so he doesn't have to let Bob Cryer play.

* Square Peg Round Hole, John Boulton is stuck with a needle during an arrest and worries he might have HIV but being John he won't stay at home.

*Wannabe, A young girl makes her attraction to Rod very obvious and he uses it to get her druggy parents.

* Team Play, Jack forces Duncan to take part in a compulsory training course with him. Duncan wants to skip it and work a sexual assault case with Liz. Poor Tom keeps being chucked off the case everyrime Duncan can slip out or take calls before he's dragged back in again to unwillingly participate in the exercise 😂

Badlands, the episode with Daves assault and those leading up to it (and after) with Boultons obsession with the Lovers and trying to nail Mick. The one where George loses it and goes for John when he goads him is perfect. Just a shame it leads the the Dave, Jenny, George, Polly mess.

* Trial Run, Rod calls in sick to Moonlight as a bodyguard. He thinks he's getting a female model but ends up with his hands full with two rich kids, one of which is a little shit.

* 427 Dan at the go kart center

* 481 It's Smithy's birthday, but noone will leave him alone.

* In The Know, Leon finds himself under suspicion when he's spotted being roughed up by a target of CID

* That's Love For You & Rescue Me, Leon struggles with a case where the parents of a baby he has bonded with are suspected of abusing her.

* The Truth Will Out, Smithy asks callum to apologise to a bloke who is accusing him of pushing him. He helps out unofficially when a young kid goes missing and panics when he thinks Smithy had gotten stuck during an underwater rescue. Their final scene is amazing.

* Hide and Seek, Leon finds a little girl hiding in a fireplace and they bond a she looks after her whilst they try to find her mother. They have tea parties and pretend to be invisible and all sorts ❤️ and then Tilly breaks his heart when she says "I thought you were my friend." he later risks his job doing something naughty that is seen by Rachel...

* Solace and The Calling. Dominic is incredible in these episodes, it's a real masterclass of how he can show every bit of what Leon is feeling with the slightest change of expression.

* Tombstone, Callum tries to deal with the death of his estranged father and the knowledge that he was a rapist.

Twanky, Sun Hill put on a panto and catch a criminal attempting to off an officer during it, hopefully without the audience realising.

Sorry, went a little overboard there! Interested to hear about yours (and everyone else's!), Anon!? Could have gone on all night naming eps.

So I may have an idea for a Gifted one-shot. The first real meeting between Roberta and the Adlers. Anyone interested?

When Mother Calls

Frank Adler x reader

This is based off of the movie Gifted starring THE CHRIS EVANS. If you haven’t seen this movie your truly missing out because it is honestly one of the best movies iv’e ever seen. If your also planning on reading this fic but haven’t seen the movie i’m warning you that it kind of spoils the end. I don’t go into any detail about it but still. 

hope you enjoy!

Five calls. Frank got five calls in one night, in one hour. It was two in the morning and you two were fast asleep, snuggling in each other’s arms. When his phone rang the first time he stirred in your shared bed. You didn’t move at all, being the heavier sleeper. Once it got to the third call you started to hear it, but now that it’s the fifth call, your more than irritated.

“Frank I swear if you don’t turn that damn phone off or at least answer, I will-“

“Alright, alright.” He cut you off with a peck on the lips and reached for his phone. Once he adjusted his eyes to the bright screen he sighed and put it back down.

“Who was it?” You felt him pull you closer to his body and his head shake no in the crook of your neck. “Frank, honey who called you? It clearly must be important if they called you so many times.”

You pulled yourself out of his embrace to look him in the eyes. You started to play with his hair as he leaned into your touch.

“Frank, you know I don’t think your cheating on me right?”

“I know babe.” He let out another sigh making you concerned. Who ever it was clearly had him upset. “It’s my mom.”

“Well What does she want?”You never met his mother, but you’ve heard many stories about the whole court epidemic he went through and about what happened between her and his sister.

“I don’t know. She left a few messages but I don’t want to listen to them.”

“I’ll listen to them with you. I know this must be difficult for you.” He looked at you for a moment. You could tell he was thinking by the way his brow furrowed and how his eyes wandered. He finally grabbed his phone and went to voicemails.

“I love you, you know that right?” He said begore sitting up to kiss you. Once you too broke for air you grabbed his hand in a reassuring way, silently telling him you love him and that everything is okay.

Voicemail 1:

Hello Frank sorry for the possible inconvenience but I’m back home in England right now and lost track of time. Any ways call me when you get a chance.

Voicemail 2:

I am your mother after all Frank. Don’t ignore me.

Voicemail 3:

I understand that it’s two in the morning where you are right now but I know you’ll probably end up ignoring me. Listen Frank I want too see Mary. As soon as possible actually. The girl needs a female figure in her life and not the land lord who watches her. She needs me Frank.

“Evelyn doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Mary has many female figures in her life including you. Mary doesn’t need her, she needs me. Hell, she needs us Y/N.” Frank was beyond angry. He was clenching his phone so hard you had to take it away in fear of him breaking it.

“Frank she never said she wanted to try and take Mary again.”

“She didn’t say that the first time either.” He was now out of the bed pacing the floor.

“Babe, she is her grandmother. At least let Mary have a say in this. She’s a smart kid.” You crawled towards the end of the bed and grabbed Frank’s hands, pulling him back into bed. “I know your probably too busy thinking about this but please try to get some sleep. We can talk more or talk to Mary about this in the morning.”

Frank nodded and lates his head on your chest, letting your heartbeat soothe him to sleep.

The next morning you and Frank woke up to jumping on your bed. You both groaned as the little blonde girl continued.

“Wake up,wake up!” She yelled.

“Mary, it’s 10:00am on a Saturday morning. What could you possibly want?” Asked Frank as he burried his head underneath his pillow.

“Exactly! It’s 10:00am and I’m hungry.” Mary finally stopped her jumping and shimmied her way between the two of you.

“Fine I’ll make you my special breakfast.”

“I don’t want that, Frank. Cereal is not special.” This made you chuckle.

“I’ll go make us a real breakfast.” You said as you climbed out the bed, Mary following you.

As you were waiting on the toast to pop out the toaster you and Mary dance around the kitchen Frank finally got out of bed and watched his girls dance and sing along to the music. The toaster finally popped but only Frank noticed. He nudged you both to sit as he made the plates and turned down the music.

“Mary, we need to talk.” Said Frank as Mary stuffed her face with eggs.

“But I didn’t do anything!” She whined.

“I know you didn’t. It’s actually about Evelyn.” Mary froze. She couldn’t find any words so she just nodded. “She called me last night and said she wanted to see you. Says that you need more female figures in your life.”

“But I do have some. I have Y/N, Roberta, Bonnie and my mom. I mean my mom is dead but I still look up to her.” It was a statement but you and Frank could tell she was questioning herself.

“And that’s more than okay, sweetie.” You said rubbing your hand over hers.

“It’s also okay if you don’t want to see Evelyn. It’s up to you kid.” Frank said glancing at you, making sure he’s doing the right thing.

“I’ll see her. She’s still family. But if she says one word about court, adoption or a trip to Boston then she’s out of here.”

After breakfast you decided to wash the dishes while Mary was doing her homework in the living room. While you were scrubbing away you felt Frank’s strong arms wrap around your waist and his head on your shoulder.

“Y/N do you think I did the right thing? You know letting Mary decide?” You leaned your back further into his body, letting him know your there.

“I do. Your doing a great job Frank. She’s growing up to be a great girl and that’s something Evelyn can never take away from you.” You reassured, causing Frank to smile. He kissed your shoulder and pulled you closer, realizing he made the right choice. Raising Mary with you helping him was all he needed, making it the best family and the best life ever.
