A short-lived spin-off series from The Bill, which originally aired in the UK between 7 July and 11 August, 2000. It concerned the exploits of no-nonsense Detective Chief Inspector Frank Burnside (Christopher Ellison), as he joined the NCS (National Crime Squad), a kind of UK equivalent of America's FBI. Teamed with moody Glaswegian Detective Constable Samantha Philips (Zoe Eeles), and Detective Sergeant Dave Summer (Justin Pierre), the son of a former friend and mentor, Frank investigates the darker, seedier side of crime in inner city London.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Despite the overwhelming popularity of the Burnside character in the parent series, this spin-off only lasted for six episodes (which were further divided into three separate stories of two 'parts' each). A second series of six episodes was anticipated, but it never happened. Ellison himself attributed the series' lack of success to it being a case of "too little, too late", and felt that the production team should have launched the spin-off while the iron was still hot following his original departure from The Bill seven years earlier. | |

Darker and Edgier: The Bill could be plenty dark and edgy when it really wanted to be, but Burnside attempted to turn it up to eleven. | |

Burnside / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: An overarching plot across all six episodes of the series seen Burnside determined to take down a villain named Ronnie Buchan, who had been responsible for the death of a friend when Frank had been a lowly constable many decades ago. But this storyline was never resolved due to the cancellation of the series. | |

British Brevity: Unlike its parent series, this one didn't last the distance. | |

Burnside / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: The basic format of the series. Of the three stories, "Back With A Vengeance" focused entirely on Burnside, "Exposed" revolved around Sam's attempts to catch a serial killer (putting herself in the firing line in the process), and "Trial By Fire" was all about Dave and his dad's dodgy past. | |
