Hardly anything in that era of The Bill makes sense, it's all just convenient sensationalist plotting.
With regards to Polly, imo the character should never have returned. Already long since damaged by the Quinnan affair stuff, the plots after her return are just pure character assassination.
I think it's safe to say that; with Lisa Geoghan going on maternity leave just as Paul Marquess was becoming EP, it's my belief that PM would have had Polly die in the fire along with the rest of them, but because of Lisa's condition, she got away with it. And of course, PM was obliged for Lisa to come back and fulfil her contract, but he saw this as an opportunity to completely ruin the character's credibility and use the ridiculous story of Owen Preston as a way of getting rid of the Polly Page.
Poor old Polly, watching it again annoys me how they treated a much loved character in this barmy period. And watching Madford giving her evidence had my blood boiling all over again, if I had been the writers I think I would have chnaged my mind and offered her up as the hostage instead of Smithy and then removed the armed reponse .
As they were taking Juliet away in the ambulance, Madford asked Gina whats wrong and Gina mumbled something about 'losing her marbles'. What was she referring to?

For some reason my bloody stupid TV has recorded the 11am episode twice and all I have of the 12pm one is the bit at the end! >:( I will have to try to record both tomorrow!
As far as the live episode goes I could remember the bit about Jim Carver asking the bloke when Macca's baby had been born from when it was originally shown

I was confused by that bit too. I assume she thinks she saw Des in the yard.
This Polly stuff is so ridiculous, the complete destruction of her character. And Madford's psychosis is full-on, lurching from crocodile tears to acting normal and happy in literally seconds. >:(
I noticed that Gabriel Kent was diligently doing police work. If only we knew what was to come... ;-)

She did , we don't see what she saw but we work that out later when we see Des .
As for the rest of the programme, a well executed live ep but Madford , any of them who could not work out that she was stark staring mad by her loopy behaviour last night but be short of a few brain cells themselves. I mean Juliet is dieing and she is trying to get her to take responsibility for searching the guy and then goes cock a hoop about being invited on GMTV .

That's kind of a relief as I thought my Sky+ box was on the blink
Hunter is so unlikeable i couldnt give a damn, i FF through the crap.
well i think its safe to say tonights episode of the bill wont be chopped off at the end!:D
what is going on with these amatuers?
Seen smithy on holby city last night !
As for Bill regulars appearing in it Diane Parish aka Eva Sharpe was one of the main cast in the final series
Surely if that was the case they wouldn't have shown the episode at all
