Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for you all to meet the man described by the press as 'The Axeman' when he was tasked in 2002 with trying to save "The Bill"... the one and only Mr. Paul Marquess (Executive Producer, 2002-2005)

We owe Natalie Roles a HUGE amount of thanks for making this interview happen. Also massive thanks to Paul, who gave up a significant amount of his time whilst actually on location during the making of his new BBC series "Hope Street" to do this podcast - something many television Executives wouldn't have done.

Enjoy Part 1 of this absolutely fascinating trilogy of Podcasts, brought to you in association with georgefairbrother.com shop.saturdaymorningpress.co.uk cityfiction.co.uk and vanguardcomics.co.uk
