Casualty History

The BBC medical drama series Casualty was first broadcast in 1986. Created by Jeremy Brock and Paul Unwin, it centres around the the fictional Holby City Hospital. The show itself is based in the equally fictional city of Holby, although it is filmed on lacation in Bristol.

Casualty was commissioned in a typical series format i.e. the show would run for a certain number of episodes before retuning the following year. However, the medical dram proved so popular, BBC bosses gradually increased the number of episodes in each series until it effectively ran all year round.

Casualty was initially transmitted on Saturday nights, before switching to Fridays for a period in the late 1980s. However, this did nothing to increase viewing figures so the hospital series was slipped back into it's old weekend slot, where it has remained ever since.
