Groundbreaking one continuous shot episode tonight - bit st really, I prefer they used a few cameras and an editing suite. Typical BBC vanity project.

Can only afford one cameraman now as Charlie is getting all the money.

Impressive but it doesn't really add anything. The bit before the titles wasn't part of the shot either.

[Wacky Racer]

This continuous shot "fly on the wall" format is just not working, looks like it's being filmed by an eight year old.

The acting is really poor too, back to the normal format please......

I always wondered why he had that corpulent over-fed look, cocky stance with his chin tucked in and a smug look/half smirk.

(Actually they used more than one cameraman - just one camera - because it was too heavy for one person to do the whole hour or whatever.)

I didn't think it added anything at all tbh.
I think they were trying to make it feel chaotic and unpredictable but it just felt awkward and contrived to my eyes. Shame as I'd been looking forward to it.

Holby is getting bigger by the minute!!

Seems like a game of Simms given it now has an international airport!!!

Where else would Charlie keep.his private jet?

TBH Dylan plays Mr Grumpy/ dry humour just perfectly and should not be seen smiling.

Same as Jac's complete arrogance is just awsome!!

It was the bum fluff Hitler moustache that made me suspicious of him.

Very dramatic even for Holby, was well done though I think.

Ok in Casualty and Holby are members of the iconic Sky footy soap "dream team" who are they?

How come when the doctors real off a list of tests to be given (U&E, MFI, B&Qs etc.) the nurses never take notes?

They must have dead good memories.

Urine and Electrolytes, Liver Function Tests etc. Pretty standard tests to see what’s what. I don’t think they’d need to memorise them.

I watched Casualty last night and while I enjoyed it, I felt disappointed in that:

• We didn't really learn anything about the old guy
• How long did it take the girl to drive from the pizza place - I mean, come on...
• Connie really needs to get lost
• Why hasn't Connie told her daughter about her cancer?
• I feel sorry for Alicia as Ethan is clearly turning in to a git

And it took me ages to work out where I recognised Elliot from - In that I didn't but recognised him as Nicholas Lyndhurt's son...

[cuprabob]

Enjoying both of these programmes at the moment.

Louise in Casualty is a real rebel without a cause, remember she is in huge debt as she won’t pay parking fines, she was at a food bank last week ..... casualty is very preachy atm
