Inspector Andrew Monroe was a character in the long-running television series The Bill. Monroe was played by Colin Tarrant.
[edit] Character background
Monroe had an unusual background for a superior officer in the police force; a working class man who had worked as a miner and had very little formal education. Monroe's knowledge of police procedure was considered by many to be first-rate. He was a stern and authoritarian leader who commanded a lot of respect from his subordinates and superiors. Viewers saw little of Andrew Monroe's private life although it was known he had a wife and two daughters.
Tragically, Monroe's 12 year stint in the show came to an end in The Sun Hill Fire storyline. Monroe was working in his office when a petrol bomb was thrown into it killing him instantaneously.
