New Bill Idents

[johngarfieldroberts]

Just to let you all know, I have just filmed for the New Idents for the Bill.

The new Idents, will be relaunching the Bill as it moves to a post 9pm slot and filming in HD, the Idents are based around a Riot with thugs on a council estate, and I am the only Featured actor along side the resident bill stars, It has all been filmed in Kingston, with some ITV's most expensive equipent including; Green Screening, HD Time-Slices - I have a feeling the Idents are going to look something special

for a sneak peak heres a pic that was taken by a pap and appeared in all the daily tabloids!

The Sun

and yes that is me with the TV - the Idents go live from the 16th July for 3 weeks on all ITV channels!

That looks cool

I don't watch The Bill, but when I do I always get glued to it. I often wonder why I don't find time in my TV schedule to watch it.

It was good fun but after 60 takes and 10 hours filming I was getting more than a little grated by the 14" TV - and no the insides weren't taken out

But the ££££ more than made up for it!!

Thought you all may be interested to see this in its full glory, you may have seen it on screen but not realised that this is it!

Hi John

I saw your ident this week, it looked really good. I'll look out for you in the new WKD advert... Core Cider doesn't appeal to me though

 

[johngarfieldroberts]

apparently it tastes the same as appletise!

What he said, John...apart from the bit about having seen your ident this week! First time I've seen it is through your link!

Btw, you can be fleetingly spotted in a behind-the-scenes vid from the shooting of that 'time-slice' promo.

Cider reminds me of being 14... just the smell of it makes me feel sick

It must be a great feeling to fling a telly.

It was fantastic especially after the amount of time waving it above my head

Anyone know the track used from 2:43?

So far I'm liking the new look The Bill. I thought it was perhaps too many changes at once, being a fan of the show for a good 20 years, but it's been ok. And the more PC Leon Taylor the better*.

* unashamed girlie moment.

Scratch the above question, I found the track.
