Doesn't anyone think Bill is fantastic?


Despite her withering barbs to Bill and the kids, she delivers fantastic lines.

I LOVE Bill!

She is so cynical and bossy and has an opinion on everything but really she only says what we all think deep down, and she is a good person and mother.

I think Belinda Lang plays her perfectly, she is so realistic and I actually work with someone who is JUST like Bill. It's fun because everything she says I think "That's something Bill would say" :D

I love her rants about "Bloody Thatcher"... it's a shame they died out after the first few series'.

I love Bill too. It's funny that she's portrayed as both a very witty character and very attractive. I quite fell for her, which was ironic considering some episode scripts wrote her off as unattractive (like the first or second episode of series 1), while I thought her very sexy, but also very witty and charming.

Yeah, she was hot.

Bill is brilliant - often overshadowed by Ben, the loveable big kid, her sarcasm was without equal! As the series' went on though, I missed her 'BLOODY THATCHER!!!'. Can you imagine her reaction to Brown and co? I can't believe this show has been off the air for 10 years! When viewing repeats, it always seems so fresh (apart, of course, from the leggings!).

Bit too hard on the kids.
