Biography
Brownlow is considered the more passive of the bosses "The Bill" has had. He prefers to leave responsibility and most of the decisions in the hands of his fellow superior officers Chief Inspector Derek Conway and DCI Jack Meadows. He prefers spin over substance. One of his most noted empty gestures is when he decides to eat with the other officers to prove he is on the same level as them. This embarrasses most of the force but he refuses to accept it as a disaster.
He hides behind his secretary and the rules and regulations of the job. He is heavily involved in the Masonic Lodge. This is a recurring theme in the series with Conway benefiting from membership of the Lodge.[cite web|url=http://thebillbios.co.uk/conway.htm|title=Derek Conway Biography|publisher=TheBillBios.co.uk|accessdate=2007-02-03] ]For all his faults though, Brownlow is a fundamentally decent man with a conscience and he earns a lot of sympathy when he feels obliged to resign from his post in the wake of the Don Beech Scandal. He later returns for a station funeral. He is succeeded by Supt. Tom Chandler.
