Also, PC Roger Valentine (John Bowler) makes fun of PC Tony Stamp (Graham Cole) when he starts to become hard of hearing but when Tony makes a hospital appointment, the last joke is on Roger.

strange to see the show imitate an actors real life.

Graham Cole (Tony Stamp) developed a condition called pulsatile tinnitus that started to affect his hearing - his doctor warned that he could become deaf. Graham took time off from filming The Bill to have an operation on his ear which fully restored his hearing.

Strange then that they do a storyline concerning Tony having problems with his hearing....wonder if Graham himself came up with the idea or had any input.

he could have done quite possibly- something needs to be realistic in The Bill!

yeah, unless they thought it wa getting too realistic. i mean how likely is it that someone will take a police station under seige or people will fight on the top or a block of flats
