18The Bill Season 18 Episode 18Superintendent Tom Chandler reads out the names of the dead and injured whilst trying to maintain dignity in the face of the public and the press.

The boys make their excuses and a grief stricken June is left with to make the calls on her own.

He's determined to track down their prime suspect Jeff Simpson and enlists DC Duncan Lennox, saying he's determined to prove him guilty with or without Duncan's help.

19The Bill Season 18 Episode 19As the team hold a respectful minute's silence for those lost in the blaze DS Debbie McAllister is busy 'finding' evidence against a known safecracker, Peter Grace. He smugly waits in reception with his weasely lawyer, knowing full well (like many other suspects in the area) that the one piece of evidence against him has perished in the fire. He underestimates Debbie's resources. Back at the hospital, PCs Cass Rickman and Des Taviner hold a bedside vigil, watchful for signs of life from PC Sam Harker. They are interrupted by Superintendent Tom Chandler asking Des to speak to the press who want a 'hero' to emerge from the explosion. His concern doesn't wash with Des who knows hypocrisy when he sees it. He walks out commenting that 'something has turned his stomach'. But while tragedy has struck at Sun Hill nick, crime hasn't stopped on the streets. Matthew Boyden is hastily appointed Acting Inspector, he immediately rules the roost and Sergeant Craig Gilmore is more than a little miffed18 Nisan 2002
20Episode 011PC Jim Carver is angry at suggestions the blaze was an inside job. He goes to his MIT interview thinking there's nothing to declare, but when they ask precisely what he was 'discussing' with Sergeant June Ackland just prior to the blast, he falters. If only he'd listened to PC Reg Hollis's warnings about guilty 'micro expressions'. The death of his colleagues has affected PC Stamp deeply so when he discovers a young lad has been nicking flowers from the Sun Hill wreaths he concentrates on tracking him down. In doing so, he directly disobeys June's orders to head straight to a mugging victim who's been waiting on the street for an officer. With the memorial service the following day Superintendent Tom Chandler's thoughts are on how the spectacle will reflect on his station. He orders Des to carry the Met flag but Des's priority is certainly not on becoming the station hero to focus on. It's his first day back on the job and he's not ready to be high profile. Chandler reminds him what po25 Nisan 2002
21Episode 012It's the day of the memorial service and Superintendent Chandler is determined to make a good impression and a moving speech. While Des carries the Met Standard down the aisle the real weight is on his mind. He's just been assigned a babysitting task he'd really rather not have and all eyes are on him today. Reg lends a sympathetic ear and proves his friendship. Meanwhile Harry Fullerton, the decorator employed to renovate Sun Hill before the explosion (and top of the Murder Investigation Team's most wanted list), makes an unwelcome appearance. PC Tony Stamp can't believe the cheek of him and starts to cause a scene. Luckily the old guard is on hand with a characteristically level head. New CID member DC Eva Sharpe turns up for her first day on the job. After practically ploughing into DC Mickey Webb's car she's told to take over his case while he attends the service. While Mickey would rather not listen to the superintendent's eulogy he relents and Eva goes to keep an eye on local a d02 Mayıs 2002
22The Bill Season 18 Episode 22Emotions run high at Sun Hill. Word is rife the bombing's confessor needs an escort to Barton Street nick and everyone wants a piece of him. Meanwhile DC Mickey Webb's whereabouts is a mystery to DI Alex Cullen, as is a straight answer to what he's working on. DS Debbie McAllister pays a cheeky visit to the superintendent's office but he plays it cool and explains their little liaison at the memorial service was just a one-off affair. He wants to concentrate on the station's reputation, and with the go ahead for a new Community Safety Unit his attention lies on police business. DC Danny Glaze and new recruit DC Eva Sharpe join forces to investigate a series of serious attacks on Eastern European taxi drivers. They have a solid piece of evidence against a suspect but he proves difficult to pin down.

23Episode 014A prostitute, a fat cat ex-pat, his ex-wife, her new husband and some stolen giros add up to a conspiracy theory that DC Eva Sharpe just won't give up on. Sergeant Craig Gilmore certainly doesn't count on Eva's unrelenting digging when it comes to uncovering a master plan involving stolen giro cheques. She may not do things his way and he definitely might not agree but with Eva on the case it's best not to argue. After complaining to PC Jim Carver that she's missed the career boat, Superintendent Chandler puts a smile on Sergeant June Ackland's face by revealing she'll be heading up a new Community Safety Unit. Turning down a drink with PC Jim Carver to focus on her new position means a career might not be the only boat she'll miss.

After catching his colleague doing some off-duty prowling round Harry Fullerton's apartment, DC Danny Glaze questions PC Des Taviner's motives. While the reasons for their obsessive interest in the case are poles apart, proving Harry's innocence is the common goal and they join forces to investigate his private life. Never one to miss an opportunity, especially one she's manipulated, DS Debbie McAllister reminds the superintendent of a promise he made about a course on computer crime. She grabs him for a private word but DI Alex Cullen is suspicious about the creeping round and hushed conversations. A domestic incident handled by the increasingly weary team of Nick and Cass isn't as straightforward as they would have hoped. A woman is encouraged to repo23 Mayıs 2002
25Episode 016Acting Inspector Matt Boyden orders Jim and June to investigate a repeat prowler at a woman's house. She's far more receptive to the male officers and Sergeant June Ackland is convinced the woman is crying wolf to have a man around the house. She does nothing to disguise her resentment and Jim sees it as a sign of her personal feelings getting in the way of her professional opinion. Now that MIT have no other option but to let Harry Fullerton go as prime suspect in the bombing DC Danny Glaze and PC Des Taviner are desperate to catch the 'right' man. So when Danny and DC Duncan Lennox finally make up. He's more than happy to tap his friend in MIT for information on Simpson. It's a handy distraction from the problems at home. He pays a visit to Simpson's colleague in the bookstore. When Simpson's alibi starts to look watertight Des and Danny begin to search even more desperately for evidence against him.

They seem to have a lot in common including a wife but for a couple of guys doing a robbery together there's no love lost between them and DS Debbie McAllister and DC Eva Sharpe are assigned to sort their stories out. Detective Superintendent Devlin from the MIT team is astounded at PC Taviner's 'good luck' in discovering both the bike that was used in Chief Inspector Conway's killing, and managing to tie Ian Burrows, Simpson's toe rag of a acquaintance, to it. It's Des's lucky day, but will that evidence alone be enough to bring Simpson down properly? Meanwhile Debbie and Eva's rivalry in the case of the two lads reaches betting point. It's handbags at dawn with mounting resentment over Eva's popularity with the rest of the Sun Hill officers. While Debbie is positive she's got Superintendent Chandler on her side Eva's naturally astute and has a plan to prove she's right. With £20 and a whol06 Haziran 2002

While it seems like a simple nick 'em and scare' em kind of job, Jack's been burnt by Frankie's kind before, and unless he gets some kind of favour in return it's not going ahead. More importantly, can he risk screwing up while trying to bring down Superintendent Chandler? PC Des Taviner is uncharacteristically eager to let PC Tony Stamp drive the area car for the shift while he accompanies MIT on the search at Simpson's bookshop premises. When a pair of trousers covered in glass and fuel turns up in his wardrobe Simpson swears blind it's a fit up... and finally loses his cool.
