The Bill: Badlands/Eyes Everywhere. DS John Boulton puts off his leave (much to the disappointment of his colleagues) to try and catch a brutal pair of burglars who are terrorising the elderly. When his investigation clashes with an operation being run by DS Jeff Daly and PCs Dave Quinnan and George Garfield, Boulton steamrolls over it - but his bull-in-a-china-shop methods result first in the compromising of an informant, and then in Quinnan being caught in a terrifying ambush that leaves his life hanging by a thread... This gripping and dramatic two parter sees Boulton's popularity dropping to new lows and the shocking assault that will impact on Quinnan's character for his remaining years on the show. Great stuff.
