Only 7 months to go till everyone in England can go to the pub and breathe simultaneously! And not have to go home and wash all their clothes. Can't wait.

Now, it's a well known fact that just about every British actor has been in The Bill at some stage. And quite a few have been in Doctor Who too. So it shouldn't really have come as that much of a surprise to find that Roberta Taylor and Chris Simmons have done a couple of Big Finish audios. And Graham Cole was famously a Cyberman. So I had a trawl through various websites and ended up on the imdb and found all The Bill regulars (ie Sun Hill staff) who have been in Doctor Who and all the Doctor Who regulars (ie Doctors and Companions) who have been in The Bill. So I present to you a totally useless list:

The Bill regulars who have been in Doctor Who:

• Jeff Stewart (Reg) - Kinda (Dukkha)
• Simon Slater (Insp Kite) - Trial of a Time Lord (Edwardes)
• Simon Rouse (DCI Meadows) - Kinda (Hindle)
• Graham Cole (Tony Stamp) - Full Circle (Marshman), The Keeper of Traken (Melkur), Kinda (Kinda), Earthshock (Cyberman), Time-Flight (Melkur), Resurrection of the Daleks (crewmember), The Twin Dilemma (Jacondan)
