The plotting in The Bill Season 3 is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. The third series of The Bill, a British television drama, consisted of twelve episodes, broadcast between 21 September and 7 December 1987. The series was first released on DVD as part of a three-season box set on 10 May 2006 in Australia. It was later made available as a separate season in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2007 and in Australia on 3 August 2011. John Salthouse and Christopher Ellison lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1987. What makes The Bill Season 3 hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find The Bill Season 3 proves them wrong. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. John Salthouse carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.
