From 1984 to 2008, Jeff Stewart entertained fans as the lovable PC Reg Hollis on the popular show The Bill. Now, at 69 years old, the actor has undergone a transformation since saying goodbye to his beloved character.
Despite being described as a "persistent moaner," Reg took his role as a Fed Rep for the PCs seriously, even though it was a job that no one else wanted. It was only after the death of his colleague Emma Keane that Reg decided to leave Sun Hill and resign from the force.
Since leaving The Bill, Jeff has appeared in a variety of TV shows and films, including Doctor Who, as well as short films such as Lexi and In the Grass. But it's his latest appearance in London that has caught the attention of fans.
In these new pictures, Jeff can be seen looking completely different from his days as a police officer. Sporting a yellow hat, brown boots, and a dog-tooth style jacket, he looks pretty cool, if we do say so ourselves.
However, it wasn't just the change in his appearance that caused a stir. Many fans were shocked when The Bill was axed in 2010, including Jeff himself. In fact, the news had such a serious effect on him that he attempted to take his own life.
In a statement, Jeff spoke about the impact that the cancellation had on him, saying, "My work as an actor is very important to me – it's my life – and the thought of this suddenly changing had an extremely serious effect on me."
Despite the show undergoing changes, such as a new post-watershed time slot and the removal of its iconic theme tune, it was ultimately cancelled, with the final episode airing in 2010. A sad end to a beloved show that Jeff was a huge part of.
