WARNING - MAJOR SPOILERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS PAGE FOR NON-UK VIEWERS!

Clara was involved in some sensational storylines in The Bill, and some of the scenes she appeared in were so good that we decided to add them to the site. I apologise for some of the picture quality. The reception on my TV was terrible when I recorded them, but I will improve them as they are screened on UK Gold.

Thank you to Kacey who loads of research work for this page!

Episode:  Millennium

Claire: By the way, commiserations on your bit of bad luck this morning. It reminds me of this time I handcuffed a prisoner to a door handle. It was in the middle of a raid. It was...people running everywhere, total confusion. When I get back the guy was gone, just this prosthetic arm hanging from the door handle. No prizes that day!
Kerry: What happened to the arm?
Claire: We kept in the CID office. Called it the Finger Of Fate Award. Gave it to the DCI once.

**********************

Later, after Tom Proctor was kidnapped and rescued.

Tom arrives in CID to find the "Finger Of Fate Award" handcuffed to his desk.

Tom: Oi, what's this?
Kerry: Special award, mate. Talk to Stanton about it.
Tom: Where's the key?

Clare walks in.

Tom: Sarge?
Claire: We'll discuss it over a drink.

Claire: I just want to say, it won’t always be like this.
John: Good. I’ve just had a thought... I wonder what Meadows would say if he could see us right now..."
They both laugh
John (imitating DCI Meadows): John, Claire, what’re you doing in the jacuzzi?
There's a knock at the door
Claire: Did you invite him along? You can come in, guv!
