Chief Supt. Charles Brownlow
First: Funny Ol’ Business – Cops and Robbers
(16/10/84)
Last: All Fall Down part I (27/10/00)
Guest:
# 012 (02/05/02)
Brownlow was posted to Area in Pass the Parcel (28/10/94) and
became more of an occasional guest character, in the vein of
Chief Supt. Mannion today. He returned as operational commander
of Sun Hill in Back in Business (09/02/96)

Last: # 053 (16/10/02)

Chief Insp. Philip Cato
First: Shock to the System (26/01/93)
Last: Is that the Time? (03/03/95)
Chief Insp. Derek Conway
First: Double Trouble (09/11/87)
Last: # 005 (28/03/02)
Ben Roberts appears uncredited as a background character in
Double Trouble. Considering his character has Chief Insp. pips
it’s not unreasonable to assume that this is one and the
same person. His first on-screen credited appearance is The Three
Wise Monkeys (21/07/88). Conway applies for the position of
Community Liaison Officer in New Tune, Old Fiddle (12/01/93) and
becomes CLO in Shock to the System (26/01/93). When Brownlow is
transferred to Area, Conway, Cato and Meadows all apply for his
job in Pipped at the Post (04/11/94). Conway is successful and
becomes Acting-Superintendent. When Brownlow returns in Back in
Business (09/02/96) Conway returns to Ops Chief Insp. and no
explanation is given as to what happened to the CLO or Mr
Stritch.

Duncan transfers hastily to MIT in # 037 (22/08/02), and
returns as part of the Team just over a month later to
investigate the serial killer murders in Sun Hill, apparently
still as a regular cast member (according to thebill.com). For
the purposes of this list we are saying that Duncan officially
left Sun Hill in August, as this was when he left divisional CID.
His subsequent reappearances are counted as guest spots.

I was in two minds as to list PC Hughes and Sgt. Lamont or
not. They are credited onscreen in some episodes, but are often
in the same background status as DC Tom ‘Trev/Vic’
Baker. Ultimately their exclusion from The Bill Bible (2003 ed.)
implies to me that they are not meant to be considered as
regulars.
For the record the earliest appearance I have for PC Hughes is A
Death in the Family (23/02/89); Sgt. Lamont appeared in Seen to
Be Done (31/08/1989).
