The Original Sun Hill Station (S1&2)

For fans of the old London/curious as to how the area round the old Sun Hill station in Wapping (Pennington street/Artichoke Hill) looked in 1985, Hostage (02x05) had this rather nice little view from Roy as he drove in.

These two below are the cobbles at the back of the old station on Pennington Street (both directions) that the 'walking feet' credits were filmed walking along. This is how they looked in 2008 (the furthest back that Google Maps go)

At the end of this series (series 2) the station then moved to Kensington.

It's round about now I start to wish I'd started a stand-alone TB Tumblr... (as I bet those who follow me who don't watch The Bill do too 😂 eta: have just started a new personal blog @omfgshiny and this is now dedicated to The Bill. Feel free to unfollow if you're not interested in The Bill posts.)

*Yeah okay, I still suck at subtitling gifs properly. I know.* The S22 episode 'Every Jack Has His Jill' is another one of those great episodes where we get Jack once again being a great pillar of support in Mickey's life. From very early on in the episode when it's early morning and they're the only 2 in the CID office obviously just chatting to Jack doing this talk.

And once again we're gifted with great acting from Chris Simmons and Simon Rouse. This episode as a whole is great. It shows Mickey is clearly starting to piece his life together and we see him start to heal from what happened 3 years prior.

It makes me glad that the writers didn't ever use Mickey's experience as a way for the station itself to use Mickey as a tool to get victims of assault to open up. The two episodes where Mickey interacted with victims, (In this episode and S25's 'Cry Wolf') it was on HIS terms to be a little open that he'd gone through such a horrible experience too.

Also gotta give a shout out to Laura Dos Santos who played Carrie in this episode. A nice ended episode with Mickey and Mia, just a shame the writers had to then go and piss all over it. I was rooting for them so much.

It also makes me wonder, did Mickey ever tell his dad what happened to him? Seems they were barely ever in contact.
