GET IN TOUCH
The Hill Street Blues website is always pleased to hear from fellow viewers, collectors, researchers and especially those who were involved in the production of the series itself. Questions, corrections, recollections, photographs and behind-the-scenes memories are all genuinely welcome.
Please do not worry about “fan frenzy.” Nothing shared with the site is ever published without permission and anything told in confidence stays that way — we would rather not have Belker paying a visit. If you worked on Hill Street Blues in any capacity — actor, writer, technician, production staff, researcher or even the person who ironed Joe Goldblume’s bow ties — the webmaster would be delighted to hear from you.

Why This Website Exists
What began many years ago as a simple fan website slowly grew into something rather different — an attempt to preserve the memory, atmosphere and remarkable creative legacy of Hill Street Blues.
Since first appearing online in 2005, the website has attracted viewers from around the world, including former cast members, production staff and people who simply never forgot the series.
Over time, many have generously shared stories, photographs, corrections, recollections and personal memories connected to the programme. Some contributions have been small observations. Others have become important parts of the archive itself.
One of the great pleasures of maintaining the site has been discovering just how deeply Hill Street Blues still resonates with people decades after it first appeared on television.
Perhaps that should not really surprise us. The series was never simply about police work. It was about people — their friendships, failures, humour, loyalties and struggles — and those things rarely grow old.
“It was never simply about police work. It was about people.”Reflections from the Hill Street Blues Fan Website
About The Webmaster
Outside the former station exterior used in Hill Street Blues
The Hill Street Blues website was created and is maintained by longtime television police drama enthusiast Andy Lambert.
Born and raised in South West London, Andy spent much of his working life in vehicle and aircraft recovery, before eventually simi-retiring to the English coast with his wife Christine. Although always interested in film and television crime, it was Hill Street Blues that remained the programme he returned to more than any other — drawn not only to its realism and humour, but also to the humanity beneath the chaos of the precinct.
What began as a small fan website project in 2005 slowly evolved into an extensive archive celebrating the people, stories and creative legacy behind one of television’s most influential drama series. Over the years the website has brought Andy into contact with viewers, collectors, former production staff and members of the cast — including memorable conversations in California with actor Joe Spano.
The website continues to grow slowly, fuelled by enthusiasm, curiosity and the occasional late-night decision that “just one more page” probably will not hurt.
