Season of television series
The 26th series of The Bill, a British television drama, was the final series of the police procedural programme. The long-running police drama was axed on 26 March 2010 after a dramatic fall in ratings following the controversial revamp the previous summer for the show's 25th series, and what ITV director Peter Fincham described as "the changing taste of viewers". Despite a petition and calls for another network to take on the series, the final episode, Respect: Part 2, aired on 31 August 2010 - 15 days after the 27th anniversary of the pilot episode of The Bill, Woodentop, which was first broadcast on 16 August 1983.[1]
