Hospital
Filmed over six weeks during the past three months, Hospital is the story of the NHS in unprecedented times.
Edited and broadcast within weeks of filming, this timely six part series for BBC Two will capture the day-to-day realities facing the NHS right now.
With exceptional access to one of the UK's biggest and busiest NHS Trusts, Hospital will bring audiences intensely close to the issues and challenges that continually dominate the headlines.
Each episode will show with exceptional candour the ever-increasing demands on the NHS's services, from intricate and morally complex medical ethics to health tourism; from A&E overcrowding to cancelled operations.
Shown from multiple perspectives and for the first time, the audience will see the extraordinary dilemmas and decision-making which happen every day for the consultants, surgeons and bed managers, all of which have profound consequences for patients and treatments.
Crews shot across five hospitals in Imperial College Healthcare Trust London to understand the complex decision making and the impact each one can have, following the key decision makers as they attempt to care for nearly 20,000 people every week. But standing in their way are limited resources, an increasing number of emergency patients and a clock that never stops ticking. Produced in partnership with The Open University.
Holby City, the iconic British medical drama spun off from the long-running series Casualty, has captivated audiences since its premiere on January 12, 1999. Set in the bustling Holby City General Hospital, this show dives deep into the everyday lives of doctors, nurses, and patients alike as they navigate through emotional challenges and life-altering situations. With a total of 23 seasons and over 1,100 episodes under its belt, Holby City promises an engaging mix of drama and heartfelt stories that will keep you glued to your screen.
The main characters in Holby City are not only compelling but have also become familiar faces for fans of British television. Characters like Ric Griffin (Hugh Quarshie), Sacha Levy (Bob Barrett), and Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel) bring their unique perspectives to each episode, showcasing both their professional skills and personal struggles. Their interactions create a rich tapestry of relationships that often echo real-life scenarios faced by healthcare professionals. The show's ability to tackle serious topics with sensitivity while still providing moments of levity makes it stand out amongst other medical dramas.
In Season 1 alone, viewers are introduced to intense storylines such as surgeons Anton Meyer and Nick Jordan fighting against time during a heart transplant operation (Episode 1) or Nurse Julie Fitzjohn's struggle amidst departmental rivalries (Episode 2). These early narratives set the tone for what would evolve into complex character arcs over the years. As new characters enter the scene and others depart, every season retains its core essence while keeping things fresh and exciting for viewers.
