Profile[]
A staunch feminist, Christine Frazer turned up for her first day at Sun Hill in plain clothes and immediately found herself chatted up by Ted Roach in the pub. When Roach discovered who she was, they embarked on a torrid affair that became the talk of the station. She said that she was attracted to his wild, sexy ways, which basically meant that she fancied a bit of rough. She arrived at Sun Hill in 1988 following Brian Kite's departure.
Frazer was an efficient and conscientious Inspector, but was always aware that, as a female - and blonde - senior officer, she would always have something to prove. She could be principled, but was also aware of the need to bend the rules occasionally to get things done. Initially suspicious of Frank Burnside - she regarded him as probably 'sadistic' - but she actually warmed to him after a while as he saw that his unorthodox methods were very effective in catching villains.
Derek Conway, a constant thorn in Frazer's side, led her to present Brownlow with a 'him or me' ultimatum. When Brownlow sided with Conway, Frazer decided to leave Sun Hill and write a thesis on discrimination in the Force. She was succeeded by Andrew Monroe.
Frazer was later remembered by P.C. Reg Hollis when members of A Relief were on standby for a demonstration, and he spoke about the rumours of her affair with D.I. Frank Burnside (They Also Serve).
According to the novel The Bill 3, Frazer's father was a crippled in the Second World War whilst serving with the Black Watch. The war affected him badly, but he was able to take his daughter to the Black Watch Museum. He lacked promotion on the battlefield and would get his wife and daughter to borrow books from the library about the war. He lived in Perth in his later years. It is also mentioned that Frazer was assigned to Glasgow and Birmingham prior to London.
In 2017, Barbara Thorn shared her memories of her playing Frazer in a two-part special edition of The Bill Podcast.
