Look Again is the 1453rd episode of The Bill.
PC Reg Hollis turns up late for parade, and an angry Sgt. Boyden assigns him to an eviction followed by traffic duty on Malpitt Road. The evictee is Colin Boswell, a notorious racist who has been terrorising and bullying fellow residents on the Bronte Estate. Boswell puts up a fight, and threatens Hollis and Page with a kitana sword, so he is arrested. As the Canley Council clean out his flat, they discover a passport and benefits book belonging to Murali Kumarathungum, a Tamil refugee who Boswell has been threatening and stealing his benefits. As Hollis follows up Kumarathungum's case, Boyden is outraged that he has neglected the Malpitt Road traffic duty, but finds himself drawn into the situation when Kumarathungum's cousin accuses him of racism for ignoring their original plea for help some months ago. Boswell is arrested when he tracks Kumarathungum to St Hugh's Hospital, but Hollis is horrified as a terrified Kumarathungum runs into the path of a speeding lorry. Boyden realises that the original plea came as he was searching for a missing child and that there was no racist intent in his not following it up.
