Casualty and Holby City - Blu-ray Forum

OceanBlue · 07-28-2020, 08:26 PM

Several weeks ago, Casualty spin-off Holby City returned after a break of nearly two months. Casualty has been in and out of the Saturday night schedules, but recently (going up to last Saturday) it's been on for three weeks in a row. After this coming Saturday night's new episode of the current series/season, I think there are seven episodes left. Whether the show's makers were able to complete the series/season before filming on it and Holby City were suspended, I don't know.

I saw a headline on Facebook yesterday (by Holby City's page), saying filming has resumed (or will resume soon), with an episode about you-know-what.

Haven't yet watched tonight's Holby City, but regarding recent storylines, I hope Cameron gets his comeuppance. I know John Barrowman guest stars in tonight's episode.

Both shows are being repeated on UK channel Drama, but I have my suspicions over whether they're the full versions. I don't know if Casualty has always been on for fifty minutes and Holby City for an hour on BBC One, but both shows are in hour-long timeslots.

Turns out that after last Saturday night's new episode of Casualty, there are six episodes of the current series/season left. This is because of an episode being skipped (did a web search and found the answer to something I observed during a recap at the beginning of a new episode shown a few months ago) due to it being "inappropriate". I noticed in the recap, clips from scenes which hadn't been shown (one looked like some characters were in quarantine. Well, with what's been happening these past four months, it's understandable why the BBC skipped that episode.

OceanBlue · 08-06-2020, 08:58 PM

Next Tuesday night's new episode of Holby City will be the last one for a while, as the show is taking another break (as of next week, they've shown all the episodes filmed before filming was suspended because of you-know-what). Filming resumed in July, but when the show returns, instead of an hour-long running time, each episode will be forty minutes long (source: this week's new issue of Inside Soap magazine).

OceanBlue · 09-07-2020, 11:02 PM

Seen a post by the official Facebook fanpage for Casualty today, that filming has resumed. When it returns there will be a special episode to do with you-know-what (Holby City will also be doing a special episode about it as well). It didn't say in the post whether the runtime of the episodes will be shorter when the show returns.

OceanBlue · 09-14-2020, 09:45 PM

There has been a further update on the official Facebook fanpage for Casualty. When the show resumes later this year (there were around seven episodes left of the current season), the total runtime of each episode will be the same as Holby City, forty minutes.

A follow-up to the above quoted post, have read on the official Facebook fanpage for Casualty that the episode which was skipped earlier this year will be shown on BBC One a week on Saturday (26th September).

Read last week on a Facebook fanpage for Holby City, that new episodes will resume on BBC One a week tomorrow (Tuesday 10th November at 8.15 pm). The episodes will have a shorter runtime of forty minutes. No return date yet for Casualty.

Regarding tonight's new episode of Holby City, when is Cameron finally going to get his comeuppance?

OceanBlue · 12-30-2020, 08:37 PM

New episodes of Casualty resume on BBC One this coming Saturday evening. Glad to see it back.

Blu Lemmy · 01-22-2021, 03:08 PM

Goodness, I haven't watched Casualty since....well, who knows

OceanBlue · 02-02-2021, 08:37 PM

Next week's new episode of Holby on BBC One, is on Wednesday night, instead of the usual Tuesday night, due to an FA Cup game.

OceanBlue · 02-10-2021, 08:57 PM

[Show spoiler]

A character who hasn't been on the show for a few years, has returned in tonight's new episode of Holby.

OceanBlue · 06-14-2021, 08:11 PM

Realistically, I don't know if there is much chance of another channel picking up Holby City, after the BBC recently decided to axe the drama series. I'm guessing Casualty was saved from the axe because it's filmed outside London (apparently the BBC want to make dramas and soap operas that represent the whole of the UK).

OceanBlue · 08-09-2021, 08:46 PM

The most recent series/season of Casualty ended this past Saturday night, followed by a brief teaser of the new series (starting next Saturday night with a special feature-length episode to mark the show's thirty-fifth anniversary).

OceanBlue · 08-18-2022, 12:11 AM

Had been wondering how many episodes were in what is now 'last series/season' of Casualty. The series resumed on BBC One last Saturday night after a break because of the Commonwealth Games. This coming Saturday night's new episode is the first in a new series/season (Series 37), which I found surprising because last Saturday's new episode didn't really end on a cliffhanger (it felt like a normal, average episode). So the most recent completed series/season was comprised of forty-four episodes, based on Sky's Catch-up section for the show.

Thought the two feature-length episodes they did last series/season were very good (one or both of them focused on actor Jason Durr's character David).

Also noticed in the new issue of TV & Satellite Week magazine that this coming Saturday night's new episode is listed as being in a fifty minute timeslot. If the episode ends up being near to being that long, for a regular episode it could mean they're going back to being full-length. When new episodes have been made during the pandemic, the length of each regular episode was reduced from forty-five to forty minutes long (not including two regular episodes edited together or feature-length episodes).

I think that character Stevie has been a welcome addition to the Holby ED (they joined during last series/season), but my favourite character is probably Dylan (love his witty, dry sense of humour).

Haven't watched tonight's new episode of Casualty yet, but have been looking forward to this one since I saw a post earlier this week by the Facebook page for the show, which said that

The show has been quite good of late (ex-Eastenders actor Nigel Harman joined the cast a few episodes ago).

OceanBlue · 07-13-2023, 09:02 PM

Back after a two week this coming Saturday night (unless the tennis overruns) on BBC One, is a special episode of Casualty marking the seventy-fifth anniversary of the NHS. The scheduled timeslot is 8.25 pm - 9.15 pm.

Source: Sky TV listings and TV & Satellite Week (Saturday 15th to Friday 21st July, 2023).

Also, a third Holby City actor has appeared on Casualty since the spin-off ended early last year. This time however, they're a permanent castmember (actress Jaye Jacobs as Donna Jackson).

Update: a fourth Holby City actor has appeared on Casualty since Holby City ended. In the special episode about the NHS, called "How to Save a Life", actor Davood Ghadami made a crossover appearance as surgeon Eli Ebrahami.

A new series/season of Casualty (Series 38) begins on BBC One this coming Saturday night (26th August) at 9.15 pm - 10.05 pm with the episode "Aftermath".

The previous series/season (Series 37) ended last Saturday night (19th August) with the episode "Too Young, Too Soon" (in total there were forty-three episodes in the previous new series).

The new series/season of Casualty starts tonight. Two new episodes next Saturday night (2nd September), likely because of the Last Night of the Proms the week after (9th September).

Update: Casualty won't be off this coming Saturday night. A new episode will premiere before the second half of the Last Night of the Proms on BBC One.

After what seems like an eternity, Casualty is returning from it's three month break three weeks tomorrow (Saturday 30th December). Have read about it recently in Inside Soap magazine and online.

I had read earlier this autumn that the episode number for the current series of Casualty has been reduced down to thirty-six episodes.

Looking forward to it's return as despite enjoying Strictly, I have missed seeing Casualty on Saturday nights.
