A Story of Survival

Launching in 1999 and airing weekly on BBC One, the drama programme rose to become one of the BBC's most successful programmes during the early 2000's.

However, in recent years the programme had been losing viewership and was regularly targeted in the media as being a waste of a TV licence, and it seemed like there wasn't much life left in this medical drama.

The programme was even been briefly cancelled in early 2021. This decision was quickly reversed following a strong public backlash. It seems like Holby City is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Despite the constant drama surrounding the television production, season 23 of Holby City has been a return to form. Viewers are switching back over to check out what is happening in the wards of Holby City Hospital.

The Casualty Connection

Holby City follows the lives of medical and ancillary staff at the fictional Holby City Hospital, which is the same hospital as the one featured in the show Casualty.

Holby City's origins was a spin-off from another BBC medical drama Casualty. The two programmes have a similar tone and storylines, with both the programmes even featuring a number of characters from each of the two casts.

Featuring an ensemble cast of main and recurring characters, new main characters have been both written in and out of the series regularly since it started. Currently, the show features an ensemble of sixteen regular characters.
