Genre Entertainment Comment by silly-sausage I'm rewatching the bill on YouTube right now. it stands the test of time! i grew up watching it and still love it. this guy was one of my favorites (along with ole Don Beech đ) 2023-11-28T08:36:59Z Comment by David Walker When British TV was worth watching , loved the Bill , and this great , great actor . 2022-04-20T19:20:51Z Comment by User 990241579 A British versions of The Sopranos played by Chris as an ex gangster would be top notch telly. 2021-05-25T23:43:09Z Comment by Siddeley Sapphire I remember he was in a episode of "the professionals" I think the one where the villain threatens to use chemical weapons in a city's water supply. 2020-12-08T08:31:08Z Comment by Alfred J Fantastically entertaining interview! Burnside always looked a bit shifty, but he often had the funniest lines. I'm watching series 5 at the moment, and one thing I notice is how rounded Burnside was as a character. He was quite often the hardman but also capable of showing a caring side (for characters such as WPC Brind for instance). 2020-07-20T11:47:26Z Comment by EM176 Really enjoyed this. Chris is an amazing actor. Burnside was the modern day Regan. 2020-02-12T11:26:27Z
