A Tumblr Community for The Bill...?

Is there any interest in creating a community for fans of The Bill to discuss and have more opportunities to interact/chat about the show almost like a forum from what it sounds like?

If you'd be interested, please like/comment/reblog this post to show your potential interest so we can all see if it would be worth attempting to create one or not.

Tumblr is beta testing a new 'community' idea [apparently not available to all as yet but should appear for most] that it says is:

Communities is a new feature in development, currently in beta testing. Our hope is to empower everyone on Tumblr to create new, dedicated spaces to connect with people over shared interests. It’s a bit like using tags but more contained, it’s a bit like having a shared blog but with more options, and it’s a bit like a group chat except it’s slower. Access to communities is not yet out to all users, and currently has incomplete support across the Tumblr mobile apps

Help page post/more information

It's still in testing mode and they're asking for feedback. They state it can be a private group or more open access.

Public communities can be seen and visited by non-members, logged in or logged out. However, only the feed of posts in each community tab, and the About page, are accessible. Non-members cannot view the member list, see who reacted with what, or see community comments. Non-members with an invite can see everything a member can see, but cannot interact with anything until they accept the invitation.

Private communities cannot be seen or visited by non-members at all. The existence of a private community is not hidden, however, if someone has the URL (they’ll see a message like “this is a private community”). Non-members with an invite can see everything a member can see, but cannot interact with anything until they accept the invitation.

I wrote a tag list of every member of the cast including notable long running guests. It took FOREVER. And this is what Tumblr cuts it down to. FGS.

14.50 Wannabe

A teenage girl gets a crush on Rod when he and June give a drugs presentation at her school, and ends up grassing on her parents to get his attention.

We see here the difference between Rod’s vanity and bluster about being god’s gift and his awkward, skittish reaction when someone actually shows attraction to him. It’s an underage girl in this episode, heightening that reaction, but it’s not much different to when Don pimps him out in “Cheating” (12.48) Rod’s more interested in maintaining his (self-constructed) image of “hot, desirable man” than in actually hooking up with most of the women he pursues, IMO. He treats the women he truly likes/respects differently—like in “For Your Love” (14.13), or his schoolboy teasing of Suzi, or his awkward attempt to protect Polly in “Split Second” (13.55). So much of what Rod says and does is performative; I think it’s the awkward, uncertain moments that are the glimpses of who he really is beneath the mask.

[forensicated]

Sierra-Oscar - a Tumblr community for all fans from Woodentop to Respect Part 2.

At the minute the settings and functionality are a little basic and lacking but hopefully, once it is out of beta we will all be able to do a lot more.

This does mean that it is invite only at the minute and we cannot change this setting.

Please click HERE to visit. If you would like an invite please click like or comment on this post and we will be more than happy to invite you!

11.60 See No Evil

This is one of those episodes where they bring in completely new PCs for a particular plotline so they can deal with an issue without sullying the characters of their regulars. (As opposed to the soap era, where they sullied away to their wild abandon.) The most important part is the fact that the shirt Reg wears to Polly’s birthday party is the same hideous shirt worn by Hywel Simons in 10.77. Rude that we were made to see it twice.
