Steve Pinner is on next week's episode.

If you think about it, there are a lot of bailiff pairings to show (Del and Dael, Paul and Steve, Stewart and Elmor, Brian and Del, Ben and Steve, and now the two Welsh bailiffs) so obviously not all of them can be shown every week. Sometimes bailiff pairings aren't shown for a few episodes.

Also, bear in mind that Paul Bohill is now 72, and so likely to be in semi-retirement. There might be less Paul and Steve segments to show.
Rubbish.
I know for a fact that C5 filmed over 30 hours of Paul in the last two months. Paul works 24/7 , So no way is he in the semi retirement bracket. How do you know how old he is? And what has age got to do with anything?

That episode was funny .From the second she opens the door and says "there's no TranTOR here" you knew she was lying .It was frustrating that they tried to string it out so long , and even tried to blag it when she called him "And " LOL. Then they find the invoice with his name on it - hysterical .
So Paul Bohill is 72 ?!! he's my fave one to watch, him and Steve .But if they ever got into a fight ,I don't think they'd do too well at their age .
Trust me on this. If Paul or Steve found themselves in a violent situation they would do very well. .. Promise.
I would be worried for the assailant.

They're too professional for those kind of antics as far as I can tell from the show..very firm but fair types..they would do the correct procedure and fall back and call the police.

Yeah I like Paul and Steve. .very fair and professional and keep calm in difficult situations and act sympathetically when a situation calls for it..it can't be fun attending eviction procedures..what a job.

Just watched yesterday's. So that first chap in the nice house in Manchester could afford to pay up even though he refused to for over two hours. Funny how it took the threat of removing goods to suddenly make him realise he could pay after all.

I used to think that making you prove that goods in a house were not yours with receipts etc was unfair as most people do not hold onto receipts years later. But I've realised if this wasn't the case debtors would simply deny any goods were ever theirs, leaving the sheriffs pretty much powerless.

I also wonder about these solicitors some of the debtors call who claim the sheriffs can't enforce the writ beacuse they've applied to set the judgment aside. Surely as a solicitor they should know the law thus realise that unless the judgment has been officially set aside, the writ still stands?

Paul is simply in no fit state to defend himself afainst a much younger opponent, trust me on this, he is to old and out of shape. I like the guy a lot but wouldnt want him on my side in a fight.

yes, it's surprising how few of them seem to know the law regarding High Court writs. The police too, don't always seem too sure. Us viewers probably know more now!

Yeah I've started keeping receipts for stuff now..just in case I move in with my partner. .:-o lol you never know. .
I reckon the solicitors know fine well..they can probably bill for advice over the phone. .:-o
As for the police they probably won't be too familiar with the ins and outs as it's a civil matter. .civil but a bit scary!

Was thinking the same. Poor baby. I believe the landlord's version of events there.

If it's someone elses house such as debtors family, partner etc then the home owner/tenant should not have to prove anything accept for their tenancy/morgage/deed.
However if it's the debtors home then i do agree with proof of goods not being the debtors should be shown.

I think the proof was in the pudding so to say on this one, it was clear from the damage and state of the place that the property was mis-treated by the tenant.
I actually do believe the landlord when he said she asked to be evicted.
I felt sorry for the poor baby.

You read my mind. That place looked an absolute sty. All she had to do was get herself and her son to to the Council and all she cared abour were her shitty, worthless possessions and her lovely big telly.

Get your kid to the Council, love.

And dont get me started on the cantankerous old Optician.

The optician was trying to sort funds out but Stuart kept nagging i would of snapped too, although in defense to Stuart the optician could of said he was trying to sort it out and ask the bailiffs to bear with him.

They should be able to call Social Services when they see a child living in those conditions.

I'm thinking there may have been some sort of mental illness involved. That is quite often the case when people are living in conditions like that.

a mental illness that causes someone to ignore basic house cleaning duties, food preparation and personal hygiene in order to watch tv all day, come on, really ?

as my old mum would have said, it's just lazyitis.

How do you know that Channel 5 have filmed that much? You seem to be very angry about this for no reason.

Paul clearly does not "work 24/7"- how would he have time to sleep? He's always complaining about waiting around because he wants to go home, so he obviously doesn't work all the time.

I know how old he is because DCBL, the High Court Enforcement Company which Paul works for, recently sent out a tweet wishing him a happy 72nd birthday, and saying he was now Britain's Oldest Bailiff.

"What does his age have to do with anything?", you ask? Well, you may not be aware of this but when people get to their mid-60s, they normally do something called "retirement", where they stop working and are paid a pension. It is very rare for a person to continue working past the age of 70. So it would be most unusual if the 72 hear old Paul Bohill was not in semi-retirement at least.

I also find it highly unlikey that he his one of the hardest men around.

I really don't get why programmes like this are so popular. In my opinion it is just pure negativity, and frankly once you've seen one case you've seen them all.

The show masquerades as social commentary, like many others in the genre, but really I think its main target audience is people who just enjoy watching aggro and aggression, not unlike Jeremy Kyle viewers in fact.
thats exactly what i thought. how can anyone watch other peoples misery like that? its sickening.

What about the misery of those owed money? Those who have had to go through a legal system to get back money they are owed and feel it necessary to escalate it to the High Court? The people on the show are both burying their heads in the sand and thinking they will get away with it. That's sickening.
