DI Alex Cullen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Detective Inspector Alex Cullen was a character in the long-running ITV drama The Bill. He was played by Ged Simmons.
Alex arrived at Sun Hill in 2000, following the CID clear-out caused by the Don Beech Scandal. Alex had been appointed by Tom Chandler in the hope that he would be a useful ally. Given Chandler's relentless (and ultimately unsuccessful) attempts to have Jack Meadows removed from duty, it is probable that Chandler wished to make him his Detective Chief Inspector.
The character was dropped from the series after 17 months by producer Paul Marquess. Realising that Chandler was using him Cullen blackmailed Chandler into granting him a transfer.
