thesun.co.uk:

AFTER a staggering 2,425 episodes of The Bill, there have been a number of famous faces that have appeared on the show - including some rather notable Hollywood A-list stars.

During 27 years on our screens, the police drama became a staple on the TV schedule, moving to post-watershed when storylines became even darker and more violent.

But what many fans will be unaware of the most, is that a plethora of famous faces began their careers on the former ITV soap.

Stars, in particular, such as Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, David Tennant and Sean Bean have all had storylines on the beloved show.
