List of episodes
The ninth series of The Bill, a British television drama, consisted of 155 episodes, broadcast between 5 January – 31 December 1993. The series was released on DVD for the first time on 3 October 2012, in Australia. As of the year's first episode, the series increased its weekly output to three 30-minute episodes, having been twice-weekly half-hour episodes since 1988. The series saw a number of high-profile exits, including a shooting murder for WDC Viv Martella, the dismissal of DS Ted Roach for assaulting Inspector Andrew Monroe and the mysterious at the time exit of DI Frank Burnside, whose exit reason would not be revealed until he returned in 1998. Characters from previous years joined the series including DS Danny Pearce, who appeared as a DC from another station the previous year. In addition, Chief Inspector Philip Cato and DI Harry Haines joined with new names after past guest stints; Haines, like Pearce, appeared the year before but was named DS Ken Haines, while Cato had appeared in 1990 as Inspector Twist at Barton Street, the man who ended the career of Sergeant Tom Penny. Cato was given Twist's backstory despite the name change, leading to animosity from the Sun Hill officers in several of his scenes.
