This used to be a really great podcast hosted by a genuine fan of the series.
This podcast has had some absolute Bill legends as its guests and it is a treat for any Bill fan to hear some previously unheard behind the scenes stories. Oliver really knew his stuff and it shows in his research.
Since Natalie Roles took over as host and interviewer, I feel like it has lost much of its energy and enthusiasm. Natalie tends to make the interview all about her, telling her (often unrelated) stories rather than letting the guest tell theirs, and often comes across as if she isn't taking it seriously.
It's still a must-listen for any fan of The Bill, but it's definitely not as good as when Oliver was hosting.

I absolutely loved season 1, but season 2 was far too long.
The first 10-12 episodes were good, albiet a little slow, but it starts to get a little convoluted and hard to follow. It would have worked much tighter as a 13 episode season rather than pad out 26 episodes with nonsensical stories and immature side plots. Meanwhile, other aspects that should be explained in more detail are simply overlooked.
It had such a promising cast including Heather Mitchell, Peter O'Brien, well-known child actor Lauren Hewitt and future superstar Ryan Kwanten, but this series is by no means the best work of any of them.
