I've only seen The Bill a few times before, and I just caught the last 20 minutes of this live episode. Every time the scene changed you could see the slight pause as the actors weren't ready, the camera was all over the place, actors constantly hashed their lines and gibbered. And my favourite part was when the scene cut to two actors walking along chatting with a guy holding a boom mike running past in the background, you hear someone yell and both guys start running along looking wounded.
It also featured the worst car crash ever, and the dramatic climax involved some guy getting shot, which went:
*BANG*
*2 seconds pass*
*POP, small blood pouch leaks from chest*
*Credits roll*
In conclusion; I wish I had seen all of it, it was hilarious.
There was a show in America that was comletely live and is usually on outtake programmes, one of the most shown clips is where a woman goes to grab a vase to smash over some blokes head and it's obviously been weakened to make it break easier. Only problem is she grabs it too hard and it smashes in her hand so she has to smack him one instead - classic!

I remember a live episode of Coronation Street a while ago, that was done rather well.
