HW - How crime is represented in 'The Bill'


How crime is represented:
  • Crime is bad (obvious, as it is presented from police point of view)
  • Urgency - needs to be solved quickly.
  • Thoroughly investigated - you watch a full investigation of one case during an episode.
  • Taken seriously - no jokes in storyline (very serious and proffessional)
  • Criminal never looks popular - a viewer never wants to be like the criminal
  • Concern - victims (victim's family always asking questions)
  • Unpredictable - twists and turns in the case
  • Time consuming - case never solved early, usually takes a few days in the story
  • Repetitive - everything has to be checked more than once
  • Un-glamorous - criminal always gets caught in the end, and put in prison
