Burnside deserves a fan group. Why? Because he has a singular
view of human nature, because he is a strawberry cream - hard on the outside
and soft and sweet on the inside, because John Boulton reminds him of himself
and because no-one has better lines, better delivered. |
| Favourite Burnside
moment: |
Burnside in a darkening CID office
putting Viv’s life in a paper bag. |
| About: |
Born and bred Sydneysider but in many ways I’m half English
due to having spent my entire childhood with my nose in an English book.
I teach for both love and pay, write for love (but it would be for pay
if someone would just buy something), and am a frustrated actor and swimmer.
I love Burnside, Boulton, Loxton and Greig, The Bill, hanging on the Forum,
shortbread, Blake’s 7, autumn leaves and travelling. I hate prejudice,
inequality, injustice, most of the current government’s education policies
and people who cut their toenails on trains. Ambitions: To one day
own a computer, preferably with Internet access. |

Personal philosophies vary wildly
and widely but three of my favourites are:
Get over it.
Never give up!
Never surrender!

Frank Burnside has to be the most enigmatic,
magnetic, alluring (those eyes!), clever, funny and good detective that
has ever set foot in Sun Hill, even though many have tried to prove him
otherwise. He's a survivor and keeps getting better. There are few people
who can fill a room by just entering it...and Frank is one of them. He's
superb! |
| Favourite Burnside
moment: |
Although I can think of many, one stands out
and that was when Frank shoved some guy's head down a toilet with Jim Carver
watching the door, looking decidedly uncomfortable. Later in the car Frank
explains to Jim that what the public want is a bit of muscle...oh yeh baby! |
| About: |
Originally from England I have lived in Oz for
twenty-four years. I work at a busy reception in a hotel in Canberra. I
have a hubby and two kids, 14 and 10. I love jazz especially swing/big
band and I love to read and watch telly and surf the net. My favourite
food is Italian. I'm a bit of a lounge lizard but like to go for a walk
up Mount Taylor (at the back of our place) a couple of times a week. I
love British telly especially Dinnerladies, The Royle Family and The Bill
of course and I've seen Burnside and loved it...well of course! I am also
a big fan of the US series Seinfeld. |

| About: |
For some unfathomable reason I decided to do
a Journalism degree after leaving school so I am currently making a living
as a Journalism student in Brisbane. My working career consists of running
the House Shop back at school (quite fun actually) and writing the stars
for the school newspaper (even more fun) with the occasional article on
the side. I love The Bill, tennis, bushwalking, chess, UKTV, fantasy and
science fiction novels, Kahlua, computer games, debating, potato salad
with garlic prawns (try it!) and most of all the delightful Polly Page...
My taste in music is far too sad to ever make public. I try not to hate
things but I can't stand oppression, racism, sexism, prejudice or a certain
individual from high school who will remain nameless for fear of defamation
lawsuits. My long term ambition is to stop governments and companies from
exploiting people and the environment out of pure greed. In the short term,
I'll settle for a bottle of Kahlua, a comfy seat and a nice long episode
of The Bill. |

Well I'm 15 and I live outside of

kindness too. He has an amazing screen presence, an aura of confidence
and I really like his wry humour. |

backhanded THWACK he gave Boulton in Cast No Shadow! |
| About: |
Um, where to start… I live in London which is
nice except for the weather (you know we Brits have to mention that!).
I think The Bill is brill and CID was my favourite but not so sure now
- gotta give the new guys some time! Best characters – well… Burnside (for
magnetism and humour), Boulton (for being sooo cute/sexy), Deakin (his
easy going nature/humour), Meadows (lovely Yorkie accent), Lennox (dunno
what it is really but like the Scots accent too). |

Burnside is an amazing character - I can't help
but love him! I'm thankful that my Mum watched The Bill because I might
have been afraid of him as a kid if I hadn't known she liked him. Instead
I was in awe of him. Now I think he's brilliant. He's charming, oddly graceful,
he's got a great sense of humour and reality, he's persistant and committed,
admirable and loveable, a real character with presence and performance,
a great man and a great officer. I'm too young to admit this but he's also
dead sexy! |
Favourite Burnside
moment: |
Awww just one? Him and Viv were brill and the
return eps had some great stuff. For something different and a laugh I'll
admit I loved him walking in on Kerry in the locker room in Hot Money!
The 'Startled Fawn' was ever so suitably and pleasantly startled and Frank
was just, well Frank! |
| About: |
I'm a 16 year old (female) Australian. I've grown
up watching The Bill (I still miss Suzie!) and it's my favourite TV program.
I'm a senior high school student and my favourite subjects are Sociology,
Legal Studies, English and Ancient History. I plan on going to Uni in 2002.
I like writing, reading and having fun. I write some The Bill fan fiction
in my spare time. I'm happy (I love to *grin*), neurotic, slightly eccentric,
friendly and funny (some say peculiar, some say ha ha!). My favourite The
Bill characters are: Burnside, of course, John, Matt, Smiffy, Tom, Danny,
Claire, Cass, June, Di, Bob... Loves: Having fun, being happy and the things
that are part of that. My family, especially my Mum, Dad, Grams, Gramps,
my five favourite cousins, and my pets. The Bill and my favourite characters
- yes it's fiction but I'm a strong believer in the value of fiction! Creativity
- I appreciate fiction including some TV shows (M*A*S*H, Red Dwarf,
Unfinished Business, SeaChange, anything that moves me or makes me laugh),
books (from Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens to Rock 'n' Roll Babes
from Outta Space by Linda Jarvin, and Shakespeare's A Mid Summer Night's
Dream - a play but none the less - somewhere in between), movies, music
(from Nirvana to Beach Boys), and art (including Monet). Life's little
luxuries like sleeping in or staying up late (preferably both), banana
and mango smoothies, mochachinos and chocolate. Raving about the things
I love!
Hates: Avon's list is pretty good, I'll add my pet hates like: getting
sand in my eyebrows or ears, food caught in my teeth, Nurse Jenny, and
other forms of irritation. |

Burnside is legendary. I can remember reading
about the return of Burnside back when it was first announced in England
and I couldn’t wait to see him again here in Australia. Then I saw Chris
Ellison interviewed by Roy and HG on Club Norwich just after he returned
to UK screens and they showed the scene where Bob Cryer books Burnside
into Custody. Magic stuff! It was worth the wait. |
Favourite Burnside
moment: |
Ask me again when I’ve bought a VCR and refreshed
my memory of Old Burnside by watching the Burnside Files. |
| About: |
I live in Melbourne, and have somehow managed
to dropout of 2 degrees - Architecture (I have an appreciation for good
design but little talent for it) and Law – and finish 2 others – Economics
and an MA in Development Studies. I currently work for a university where
I manage training programs for government officials from developing countries.
I’ve been watching The Bill since the late 80s (though I can’t seem
to remember any character or episode from before mid-1991). A VCR is high
on my list of things to buy now that I’ve finally found somewhere decent
to live, so expect me to start calling in favours and asking to borrow
tapes of old episodes (Memo: start doing favours for fellow forumers).
I am also a big fan of the American series Homicide: Life on the Streets
and am still waiting for Channel 7 to screen the final series, which they
promised would return in 2000 (and which screened in the non-AFL states
a year ago!).
Other things I like: travelling; learning languages; listening to music,
particularly Paul Kelly, Warren Zevon, Joe Jackson, Todd Snider and Leonard
Cohen; playing the guitar badly; writing lousy songs; and walking to work
through the Botanical Gardens watching the bats circle the trees. Dislikes:
the Government’s refugee policy; people who profess to be fans of The Bill,
but who ring me up in the middle of a Burnside episode or turn up at my
door unannounced on a Tuesday night; and lots of other things, but I prefer
not to think about things I don’t like. |

| About: |
Younger than Burnside, a born and bred Sydneysider,
I love meeting new people, reading really good murder mysteries, comedies
and science fiction, and spending time with my family. You could say I'm
almost a full-time volunteer - Royal Volunteer Coastal Patrol, talking
to school children about what it is like to have Spina Bifida and being
in a wheelchair, fundraising for charity and a few more things - and I
have a paid job as well. My musical tastes vary from 50s and 60s rock 'n'
roll to Men At Work, John Farnham, Kylie, Backstreet Boys, jazz, and Tchaikovsky,
Beethoven and Strauss when in the mood. Hate racism and those who underestimate
the intelligence of people with a disability. |

Along with Bob Cryer, Burnside *is* the Bill.
He was one of the most rounded and realistic characters they ever had, and many
a happy time was spent when he dominated CID. |
Favourite Burnside
moment: |
It's the subtler things that stay in my mind. Like the way he calmly listens to a drunken Sam Philips pour out her life story, then calmly tells her her handbags been nicked, or the involuntary twitch he gets in the corner of his eye when ever Reg Hollis is talking to him. |

'Hot Money' and 'Angel' - legendary. My fave parts in 'Hot Money' are when
he's getting up Gary and Duncan outside the casino in the car... "I sent you
lot a memo!", and when he caught Kerry getting dressed in the locker room...
LOL. And my fave parts in 'Angel' are when Claire and Burnside are in the
pub... "What’s wrong with your dad? Isn't he having a good time? Not been
molested or anything I hope?"
"Have a look around. Do you notice anyone else with a fat lip?" Classic!
