The Bill Podcast

Meet the real deal! The former Met Inspector and longest-serving Police Advisor on The Bill is here!

The mighty Trevor Hermes worked on the series for a decade and saw the show transform on multiple occasions. In this first part of a two-part special, I met Trevor at his home where he shared some of his favourite Sun Hill memories with me, as well as the highs and lows of his police career.

TW: During this open and very honest chat, Trevor pulls no punches when recalling moments from his police career, including revealing details of some personal traumas, which some of you might find upsetting.

I hope you enjoy this chat with a man who was such an important part of the fabric of The Bill for ten years!
