Ellison's popularity as the rogue officer led to an ill-fated spinoff Burnside after his exit in 2000 which lasted for one series. A majority of his time on screen was as a DI, however he was a DS when he first appeared, and had become a DCI by the time he left.
Christopher Ellison appeared intermittently between 19 as Frank Burnside. He was the highest ranking black officer in the series history. Cyril Nri played Superintendent Adam Okaro from 2002 from 2006, initially replacing the deceased Tom Chandler as Superintendent before accepting a promotion to Borough Commander in 2006. He made a guest appearance in 2002 to attend the funerals of the six officers killed in the station fire. He was emphatically the longest serving station commander after serving for 16 years, with Adam Okaro a distant second with 4 years. Peter Ellis played Chief Superintendent Charles Brownlow from the start of the series in 1984 to 2000, when the character tendered his resignation in light of the Don Beech scandal. This character would go on to be portrayed by John Salthouse from 1984 onwards. Roy Galloway appeared in the pilot episode, "Woodentop", aired on 16 August 1983, played by Robert Pugh. Andrew Lancel, as Neil Manson, and Alex Walkinshaw, as "Smithy", also appeared in the series finale. 
He is the longest serving actor to portray a character in a senior role. Simon Rouse, as Jack Meadows, appeared in 884 episodes, including the series finale "Respect", aired on 31 August 2010. The following actors appeared as senior officers in The Bill. The characters are all police officers or civilian staff at the fictional Sun Hill police station in London. The Bill is a long-running British television police procedural television series which ran from 16 August 1983 to the show’s cancellation on 31 August 2010, named after a slang term for the police.
