    However, there will be people who are watching for the first time, who therefore have no idea of the plotlines; people who have actually forgotten outcomes of stories after only watching them nearly 15 years ago; and anyway the thread title specifically states "Drama pace", so anything that goes ahead of that is definitively OT.

    Perhaps somebody could explain why the thread is headed 'Drama Pace' when the channel is simply called 'Drama' or 'The Drama Channel'?

    This thing about posting spoilers, while I see the point about not posting them, a repeat is still a repeat irrespective of which channel is showing them for the first time in years!

    As has been said there will be some who are watching for the first time, if it is something significant then I don't see the harm in spoilering some bits and then letting people choose if they want to look.

    I got the episodes not to be shown being 73 and 74 from the UKTV Drama site comments, their guide does not go up that far but on my Virgin Media TV Guide it shows that Eps 73 and 74 are being shown, so who knows.

    Had a wee check and Drama have updated their schedule. It has Eps 73 and 74 scheduled for Monday January 19th and Tuesday January 20th. :)

    Have there been some edits in the past few days????

    Nick and Cass seemed to pluck the name Frank Majorian out of thin air and they weren't shown talking to that pirate radio DJ friend of Nick's

    Loads of edits, I have said. There was reference to a PC having a fridge thrown off a building at him, but the scene in question had been cut off before there had been any sign of an incident.

    Great news! However the current schedule ends before we've got to #75, the last of 2002, and we still don't know from that source whether Series 19 will follow on. If anyone has definite confirmation, please advise.

    Is she still in acting?

    Was she the one in a Cher video?

    I think we saw the start of that as two uniforms were chasing after two ruffians on the Bronte

    According to IMDB she was in an episode of Casualty in 2013

    #18/75 now confirmed for 21/1/15. Fingers crossed for series 19 to follow straight on.

    Yep, I really hope it continues.

    I also enjoy Casualty which is on just before The Bill as you guys probably noticed. :D It's had a great run. They've shown continuous episodes from series 9 (1994-'95) up to series 16 (2001-'02). It's had a break for the last couple of weeks but it returns on January 5th to finish off the final episodes of series 16 before disappearing from the schedule. I hope if it comes back it continues and doesn't go back to series 9. :(

    How do you find the listings so far in advance?

    http://drama.uktv.co.uk/

    Click on TV Guide to go to the first lot of listings, scroll down as far as you can, then click the down-arrow V at bottom to go to the second lot of listings, then repeat to go to the third lot. At this moment the third screen goes as far as 21st January. The down-arrow on the third screen doesn't go anywhere.

    So where are we up to then?
    No TB today?
    Are they going to miss any episodes out when the serial killer claims their next victim (which I'm sure is soon - that story has been on the backburner for a few eps while the Bronte storyline has been going on and Okaro has been coming in)
    And do we think they'll carry on showing through to the 2003 series?

    Oh, and Ruby Buxton's intro yesterday...I had forgotten how truly awful she was :-o

    Yep, I was surprised there were no episodes today. Next are repeats of eps. 59,60,61 on Sunday morning.
    Back to normal on Monday with a repeat of ep.62 at 11am followed by 'new' episode 63 thereafter.
    We should find out in the next day if we'll get the 2003 series or if we're jumping back or forward in time!!

    Damned editing. They must have cut out the scene where she get's a champagne welcome reception from the team! :D

    Joking aside, she could have had a better entrance than being lumbered with 'mony Tony'! :(

    He he, yep, I changed it a minute or so after I noticed the mistake. Not sure how to actually delete a post on here. I notice some people must go back and delete the text as an edit and leave the word 'deleted' in its place. :)

    You can use Edit to do this for a brief period after posting but after that you won't be able activate this option.

    Do the Sunday repeats show all the weeks episodes?I cant watch in the week but sometimes it seems like I've missed some things when I watch on Sunday.

    Not too familiar on the weekend repeats but it looks like they usually show 4 episodes. I'm guessing that's Mon-Thurs from the previous week. They probably don't show Friday's as it's repeated at 11am on a Monday. So if you only watch at the weekend, chances are you're always missing 1 episode. Not sure though. I'm sure someone on here can help a bit more.
