The Bill shuts up cop shop
A CAR blast and a high-tension police chase will send The Bill out with a bang as it shuts up cop shop after 26 years.
The News of the World was given exclusive access to the set as the tearful actors filmed the 2,400th - and last - episode in Sun Hill.

Cast and crew were left reeling in March by ITV bosses' decision to axe the show, after ratings slumped to 3.5 million viewers from a '90s high of 15 million.
An insider said: "It's emotional - everyone is furious with the decision. But we've decided to put two fingers up to ITV and press on with a belting finale."
Filming of the final episode will continue until mid-June, but it will not hit screens until August.
