Bill Zeebub.


Strange that on the IMDb William Scully is credited as the guest star ART Officer in 6 episodes, when he's actually in every episode as a main character called Bill Zeebub. What's that all about then?

In series one there are four ART officers, lead by De Sade and in the first series he only has about a dozen lines and most of them are him just agreeing with De Sade.

I think what'd annoy Bill Scully even more was that in the show Sgt De Sade is credited as having had the military experience, whereas in real life Bill Scully served with 22SAS, which is where he won the Queens Gallantry Medal.

I presume Bill is a friend of Burdis/Anciano as although his character is one of my favourites in the show, it's clear that he has little or no acting experience. However, and further to the paragraph above, clearly I wouldn't say this directly to his face!!! :)

I'm not sure if this is true, although I did read it in supposedly reliable place, Bill's character in "Love Honour and Obey" did actually tw*t the car window in with his fist, which is no mean feat.

Yeah, I've seen Bill on a few things before, most notably at the Gumball Rally.

i'd love to know what everyone from ogg is up to now..i really enjoyed both ogg and love,honour and obey..some ppl just dont get either of them but they are just missing out...

i thought bill did a great job in ogg,if he's not acted before i found him quite funny...

Bill was brilliant. As someone has remarked, he isn't an actor, but thats what makes him so great, all his reactions are natural, and his comic asides all hilarious. When he refers to Bones penis as an 'Earplug' I wet myself, and just watch his facial expression during the drug trip at the xmas spectacular. I also love the way Beach rarely ever has a go at Bill, notably when he's expecting all their luggage before operation Zorro and he makes a point of excusing Bill from a case inspection

Just watch Raging Pig...when Beach comments that the other guys punched him in the 'tummy' Bill creases up with real laughter. You need eagle eyes to see it. Go see it.
