<span class="mw-page-title-main">Callum Stone</span> Fictional character from British police procedural television series The Bill

Callum Stone is a fictional character from the British police procedural television series The Bill, played by Sam Callis. He first appeared in the twenty-third series episode "Good Cop, Bad Cop", broadcast on 8 August 2007. Callis had previously appeared in the series during 2004, in a guest role playing the character of Karl Radford. Callis believed this familiarity helped him to quickly adapt to the role. Callum's role in the show is a Police Sergeant. He is characterised as having an unorthodox policing style and is portrayed in stark contrast to the rest of the show's characters. Callis has explained that The Bill's script writers made Callum's persona ambiguous, leaving viewers to interpret whether or not Callum is a good or bad intentioned character. Callis believed his character adopts his "own moral code" and Callum views his role as being "there to administer justice", but not to the extreme he is a vigilante character.
