Out of the Blue (UK)First Aired in 1995 Out of the Blue was a hard-hitting BBC police drama, featuring the same mix of plot-driven and character-based drama as ITV's successful "The Bill", but a more generous budget allowed a wider variety of location shoots than that series was then able to manage. By adopting the 50-minute episode format and post-watershed slot of the pre-1988 "The Bill", Out of the Blue was able to explore its stories in greater depth and achieve a greater degree of realism. Shot on film, its tight script, fast-paced direction and strong cast made powerful viewing. Series script editor, Claire Elliot, described the series as "contemporary, gritty, urban reality," that merely used the police setting as a vehicle for telling its stories. Out of the Blue followed a team of detectives at the fictitious Brazen Gate, Sheffield, through grisly murder cases, clashes with an already divided community and through the dramas of their personal lives. John Hannah starred as ambitious DS Frankie Drinkall, whose life is turned upside down when he is diagnosed with epilepsy. His refusal to accept his condition led him into a downward spiral and ultimately to his demise. DS Rebecca Bennett (Orla Brady) gave the series an ever-present emotional charge as she found herself the subject of the affections of both PC Alex Holder (Stephen Billington) and DC Warren Allen (Darrell D'Silva), while Neil Dudgeon provides some classic comedy moments as the impetuous DC Marty Brazil. The second series saw the arrival of troubled DS Jim Llewyn (David Morrissey), who seemed to be working to his own agenda.
