Gary Lucy in The Bill

Gary Lucy joined ITV’s The Bill in 2005 as DC Will Fletcher, a CID detective at the show’s fictional Sun Hill station, and stayed with the programme for five years — the longest single run of his career.

The Bill was, for three decades, Britain’s best-known police procedural, and a regular role of this length placed Lucy at the centre of one of ITV’s flagship dramas through the second half of the 2000s.

Five years playing a working CID detective gave Lucy a sustained run in straight procedural drama, distinct from the soap and ensemble roles that had defined his career up to that point.
