The end of an era as Homicide signs off after 12 years and 510 episodes — making it the longest running weekly drama series on Australian TV, a record it maintained until it was equalled by Blue Heelers‘ 510th episode in 2006.
The final episode of Homicide, titled The Last Task, featured a guest appearance by former cast member Leonard Teale.
