[edit] Sun Hill police

It has been suggested that List of Sun Hill police on The Bill be merged into this article or section.

Could I just point out that the Police Officers that operate from this station are part of the Metropolitan Police Service no such force is called "Sun Hill Police". Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 19:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Agree: comparing the two pages, it seems silly to have these separate lists of characters when they relate to the same show. Unless of course someone can explain why the division was made in the first place? Knaw 19:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Disagree: I created the newer page (which I see has been deleted) because I found the original list in the article was incomplete and inconsistent. I felt there needed to be a list page with more complete information. Given that many characters don't last very long on the show (say, maybe a few months, or just a year or two), it was better to just have an all-inclusive list. It is less time-bound. I would much rather see a list of all characters grouped by rank, rather than a list grouped by "on the show" and "not on the show any more", which seems a bit moot. - Bricks J.

Well, I guess the discussion process is moot as the change has been made anyway. :( - Bricks J. Winzer 06:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect link

The link to Andrea Mason (PC Debbie Keane) is incorrect. It points to a different person (an Australian politician!!!).

[edit] Duplicate entry

The entry for Daniel McPherson is duplicated.

I suggest we remove the list of current characters from this page and change the page to "Former Characters in the Bill". Template:Steve 22:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC) (split)

I think we should leave the current characters here as well as the former ones. This is then a one-stop-shop showing all the characters from The Bill, giving easy access to all of them.

[edit] Frank Burnside

Burnside was last seen at Sun Hill as a DCI, and he did work on several cases as DCI with Sun Hill officers, however he only ever served as DI, so therefore I think he belongs under that rank.

[edit] Former Characters - How They Went

Currently, for all the former characters it just says something like "transfered" or "deceased". I propose more detail is given but still in a neat and uniform way. Something like for the transfer ones where they went. "Transfered to SO19", "Promoted to Sgt", or "Transfered to Greater Manchester". Any views? ( Just The Q ) 23:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

SO19 is now defucnt due to its Specialist Operations designation has now changed to Central Operations as the Command Units changed to "Central" if you would. Watch where you put "SO19" make sure it is on old characters where SO19 was still a unit, it is now CO19. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 19:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
