Many stars got their big break in the South London police serial.

'The Bill' closed its police station doors for the final time in 2010, but London's answer to 'Hill Street Blues' is currently enjoying a fresh burst of popularity, with viewers tuning in on UKTV.

The police drama, which ran for 26 years from 1984 and comprised 2,425 episodes, is regularly topping the most-watched lists on UKTV Play, as viewers catch up with the officers of Sun Hill Police Station.
