RIP Edward Woodward. Max Carter & Smithers STINK! EastEnders' Cora Cross
MarkLynnIreland129410 April 2022
RIP to Edward Woodward first as seen him playing elderly old-timer Johnnie Jackson

Almost based on their characters in this two-part episode: Edward Woodward (Johnnie Jackson) is the real life father of Tim Woodward (Roger Hutton) and grandfather of Sam Woodward (Stephen "Jacko" Jackson). Although Tim Woodward plays uncle role to Sam Woodward's character "Jacko".

Apart from them, another guest star of Ann Mitchell - who I mainly seen as Rainie & Tanya's ma: Cora, in EastEnders. She's in this two-part episode as Johnnie Jackson's lady friend/as well as landlady of some old-fashioned London pub named "Fusillade", certainly mirrors/reminder of the Queen Vic in Walford/EastEnders.

This two-part episode directed by A. J. Quinn who also directed other two-part episodes of The Bill like A Model Murder (Cindy Statham) and Line of Fire (Michael Simms). In this episode as well, duo of arrogant jerk Max Carter and loser-nobody Sergeant Smithers - both I hate. The "Previously on The Bill..." with Leanne Samuels and Smithers - I HATE IT!!!
