After the sellout success earlier this year of The Bill Reunion 6, Misty Moon is delighted to bring back more cast and crew to The Cinema Museum to celebrate the iconic police drama series The Bill.

The Bill Reunion 7 will be hosted by Misty Moon’s Curator and Producer Stuart Morriss and Oliver Crocker, presenter of The Bill Podcast since 2017, where he has interviewed over 50 of Sun Hill’s finest. In 2020, his book Witness Statements: Making The Bill (Series 1-3) was published, featuring interviews with 40 cast and crew and dozens of previously unpublished behind the scenes photographs. His second book, celebrating the twice-weekly episodes broadcast in 1988, will be published later this year – devonfirebooks.com.
