"Proof of Life" (German: Entführung in London) is a two-part storyline from the long-running Thames Television series The Bill to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its pilot, "Woodentop". Both episodes came as part of a crossover with the German police drama SOKO Leipzig.^[1] It serves as the 79th and 80th episode of The Bill's 24th series, and as the season premiere for season 10 of Leipzig Homicide. While The Bill's rendition aired in November 2008, Leipzig Homicide's did not air until September 2009. The episodes were filmed in English, and dubbed into German for broadcast on ZDF. A different edit was shown in each country.
