The Bill builds virtual incident room

24th September 2007 Print
During a dramatic three-part special, the courageous cops at Sun Hill will undertake a massive investigation when a high profile politician and a respected religious leader are gunned down at a 'Rock Against Racism' concert. Can Superintendent Heaton (Daniel Flynn) catch the killer - or could he have been one of the targets?

In an unprecedented move, viewers will be able to seek out clues and build on the evidence revealed on-screen by visiting the dedicated website: Thebill.com after each episode. They will be able to sift through unseen CCTV and mobile phone footage on Youtube.com/999thebill and view the fictional websites mentioned in the storyline gathering data for their virtual interactive incident room which will go live at the end of the first episode. Viewers will be given the opportunity to follow up and eliminate any theories being pursued by Heaton and his team.

Executive Producer, Johnathan Young commented, “We are driving home the interactive element to this fantastic three-parter and 'The Bill' are always looking at new ways of using new media to promote various storylines. This is the first time viewers can utilise ‘The Bill’s’ website and other fictional sites to create their very own virtual incident room seek out and gather extra clues which have not been seen on screen. 'The Bill' will be continuing to use the interactive element for future storylines in the coming months.”

'Target' is due to air in November 2007.
