Episode 012 is the 1669th episode of The Bill
It's the day of the memorial service and Supt Chandler is determined to make a good impression and a moving speech. While Des carries the Met Standard down the aisle the real weight is on his mind. He's just been assigned a babysitting task he'd really rather not have and all eyes are on him today. Reg lends a sympathetic ear and proves his friendship. Meanwhile Harry Fullerton, the decorator employed to renovate Sun Hill before the explosion (and top of the Murder Investigation Team's most wanted list), makes an unwelcome appearance. PC Tony Stamp can't believe the cheek of him and starts to cause a scene. Luckily the old guard is on hand with a characteristically level head. New CID member DC Eva Sharpe turns up for her first day on the job. After practically ploughing into DC Mickey Webb's car she's told to take over his case while he attends the service. While Mickey would rather not listen to the superintendent's eulogy he relents and Eva goes to keep an eye on local a drug dealer. She's supposed to make sure he stays put but he gives her the slip. Not a great way to start her Sun Hill career. DS Debbie McAllister, never one to miss an opportunity for self-promotion, seizes a moment to tell Chandler how wonderful his speech was. After suggesting a quiet moment alone together they find themselves caught up in the moment and discover new ways to use the bench in the disabled loos.[1]
