The 23rd series of the British television drama The Bill consisted of 92 episodes which ran from 3 January until 28 December 2007. Des O'Connor continued to host Take Your Pick!, which ran from 24 February 1992 to 23 December 1999 while the Wilkinson and Homebase stores continued to appear on the show. This series also introduces a new set of opening titles, paying homage to the original 1984 opening titles. The titles also include shots of London, interspersed with police work and shots of Sun Hill Police Station. The theme music is also updated. This series also saw the conclusion of two long running-storylines, the disappearance of schoolgirl Amy Tennant and DC Zain Nadir’s undercover drug sting, prior to the return of single-themed episodes, removing much of the serialiased format formally introduced in 2002 under producer Paul Marquess; episode titles also started appearing on screen again from Episode 20 onwards.
