Episode 240 is the 1897th episode of The Bill.

With Young's cover blown and Irene Radford demanding Smithy is executed, David Radford tasks two associates with shooting the pair. Young and Smithy find themselves minutes away from certain death, but the raid on Hedley's Club takes place just in time to save them. While the raid is a bust, Wayne Radford is found in possession of ecstasy, but Thatcher's joy at nailing one of the three Radfords is quickly snuffed when he is hauled over the coals by Okaro. Wayne proceeds to blow Young's cover to Gold in interview, leaving Smith, Young, Drummond and Thatcher scrambling to cover themselves. Just as it seems they have their bases covered, Irene and David Radford are called in by Gold for questioning. Perkins finds himself under fire from De Costa for falling behind on his checks of the sex offenders register, with one of his overlooked offenders abducting a neighbour's young son. Meanwhile, Nixon decides to file a mis-per report after her daughter Abi fails to return home.
