Bit Of A Long Shot Re The Bill

[hammerman]

They do the rerun of The Bill on "watch" during the week. In todays episode, Jack meadow's goes to see an inmate in prison, a Scottish chap (he had ponytail and beard)

I cannot, for the life of me, think of his name or what he's been in. It's driving me bloody mad !!!

What time was it on

[lynbrown]

Try looking up the Bill on IMDb. You could perhaps narrow it down to the episode title if you can see it on wherever you saw it earlier today.

[rockyracoon]

Imdb is down at the moment but the series was 25 and the episodes part 1 and 2 were called To Die For.

[Mamyalynne]

According to the 'Watch@ TV Guide, today's two episodes were 414 & 415

[hammerman]

It was on from 10-11 today. Thanks but what is IMBd

I can't get on through the app or browser, wonder what's going on.

Hammerman, imdb is 'internet movie database' all actors, shows etc are listed with episode breakdowns and cast lists. It's a great resource.

[rockyracoon]

Got it on the browser now but not the app, strange.

[Stephen_G]

No guarantee that it was this guy, but could this be the actor?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Russell

He has been in The Bill a lot.

[murraymints]

He was also the foot fiddler on corrie ! Gails' man for a bit !

[Stephen_G]

41 minutes 27 seconds in, hopefully

[Sam1960]

clive russell was also the mountain leader of the Glenntannoch Mountain Rescue programme Rockface. Think the series ran for two years

[rockyracoon]

I don't know why but I thought it was the episode on before this one.

[hammerman]

Steven G...that's the fella, thank you so much. His voice is very distinctive and i couldn't think for the life of me where i'd heard the voice.

However, he was the main building manager Gary Turnbull in the Cuba series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

Thank you all so much, i'll sleep easy tonight
