One reason The Bill went out on Friday evenings post 1993, was that Thames was now an indy, and the show was commissioned by another ITV region. Something tells me possibly Yorkshire commissioned it but Thames produced it.

Tech it was the ITV network Central that commissioned the show by Thames, but you still needed an ITV company to push it thought.
I think the bill ended up with Carlton by the late 90s? Central took over Mr Bean and Des O'conner etc but neither had any real say in the programme.

One programmes that LWT did broadcast which Thames made was that god slot before the closedown.,
