Is it true that detectives can no longer have a drink whilst on duty ?[/QUOTE]
Hasn't it always been the case that coppers are not allowed to drink on duty. However having said that, years ago my uncle kept a pub and at closing time a couple of coppers would call in to make sure everyone was leaving, then they would stay for a free pint themselves.:D
I don't think the show would work without Gill, she added a needed dynamic to Scott & Bailey. Last night's episode felt like a goodbye one. Has there actually been confirmation of a new series?

Detectives would routinely visit pubs to cultivate informants.

It felt wrapped up to me.
I agree, Gill was a leading figure, in my opinion she made Scott & Bailey. Why did she decided to leave, considering she is the writer, or is it finished forever?

Well Amelia Bullmore did write a lot of the scripts for this series, including the one last night so I think it would have been easier to play Gill, having written her. She is really talented as an actress and a writer and I agree with the comments about Pippa Haywood. She is extremely underrated and has been terrific in S and B.

I didn't think the finale was particularly good. Yet again a hurried ending. Yet again too soapy imho. Any new series would be very unbalanced without Gill. She balanced the mawkishness of the soap element and her speech style raised the series to a higher level imho.
I love Scott and Bailey and the last two episodes were fantastic. It would be a huge shame if it doesn't come back next year, but as others have said, at least it's gone out on a high. I don't think the show would work without Gill, however, she could still be in the show as a kind of consultant/guide to S&B as they do go about their investigations.
An enjoyable conclusion to the series with a gripping performance by Ellie Haddington, in particular. It did feel very final to me, with Gill leaving the force and Rachel and Janet contemplating their futures. It would be a real shame if it were to end but at least it went out on a high- Wednesday's ep scored 4.1m ib the overnight ratings.
A watchable series, I'll watch the next if it happens.
I'll miss Gill.
My wife and I copy her speech patterns and hand movements when we're winding each other up.
Are those speech mannerisms Amelia Bullmore's, or does she just speak like that as Gill?
At first, it really irritated me, but after a couple of episodes, I came to love the way she spoke

The woman who arrived to oversee Gill could be then new DCI
Wasn't the murderer evil, brilliant acting
Much better to leave us wanting more.
Hope it gets some awards.
That's just what the murderer said.
Eddie Windass from Corrie was Sandy - didn't recognise him at first.
He was in The Full Monty too.

I think the first thing I can remember her being in is that Doctor in Green Wing, she was great in that too.

But yes, she was awesome in Green Wing.
And Prisoners' Wives!

Haha that's awesome. They are quite distinctive
I didnt realise it was him!
