The Bill

The Bill is a serial police crime drama broadcast on ITV. It is one of the programmes believed to have been transmitted with Audio Description during the Audetel trials.

During the trial period, July to November 1994, the programme was in its tenth series, with episodes 78-142 known to have premiered during those months.

The ITC Guidance On Standards for Audio Description gives numerous examples of descriptions featuring character names from the series. It also gives a specific example of an introduction to a much earlier episode, Occupational Hazard (series 8, episode 90) which first aired in November 1992. It is not known if it was repeated during the Audetel trials.
