Bob Cryer, Brownlow, Hollis etc... and Burnside! I'd actually forgotten he was in the very first one (he doesn't become a regular until season 4 when it went year-round), even though I knew he did pop up in a couple of the early ones as a rather dodgy-seeming DS from another nick (Cryer clearly thinks he's bent! [emoji38] ) The DI in the first three seasons is the less famous Galloway, but John Salthouse is awesome himself, so that's fine too.
Really like your Bill don't you Iank. My only recollection of it is the theme music while a pair of shoes plod along the pavement.
