Thames Television expertise in action series comes into good use in this early episodes of The Bill.

One scene sees Taff falling through the floorboards as he gives chase to a mugger targeting women.

Collapsed in rubble, Sergeant Cryer thinks Taff might not make it.

Detective Sgt Roach is under investigation over an argument he had with a neighbour. It leads to a suspicion that Roach has also wrongly claimed overtime. It lets down Galloway who strongly backs him.

However it is Roach the hero as he takes on two robbers, one with a gun who have been holding up post offices and building societies. It is another terrific fight scene.

Each of the new episode of the first series gives a greater focus to other characters in Sun Hill like Roach, Dashwood and PC Litten.

Watch out for Sean Bean in an early role. He plays a robber. Will he come out of it alive?
