Sad to hear that Holby has been axed although I'm not surprised. Over the last couple of years all the "good" characters have left and the storylines have become more ridiculous and nothing more than box ticking.
My wife watches it, and I sort of semi watch it, but it does seem to have got more left leaning, anti-tory, ooo this only happened to them because they're poor/gay/disabled/all of the above. It really is quite irritating actually. Bring back Anton Meyer.
Back in the day, used to work on "Casualty" as a courier when they filmed it in a St Philips warehouse in Bristol. Must be 10-15 years ago now, I guess.
Principal job each day was to take the fan mail down from the BBC Centre at Whiteladies Road to the film studio & return the post up half an hour later. This part of the job, you didn't get to meet many although I did see James Redmond once or twice, he was very tall. Also used to ferry the scripts to a chap who was a real life medic & would check them for authenticity, nice chap he was.
Two other parts of the job. Now and again, we would courier across the scripts to the actors at their houses which was usually in Bristol but now and again, further afield. Remember traipsing across to the middle of Exmoor to Simon MacCorkindale's Arabian horse place, that was an expedition in itself! And we also would take the completed DVD edit to Centre House in London on a Sunday night once it had been finished. Great job, used to pay £150 for what was maybe 3.5 hours round trip from Bristol; roads were quiet, stick a CD on and it rarely felt like work.

Is anyone else finding this a bit boringly depressing lately? They seemed to have lost that "hospital show" appeal and everything seems a disconnected. Reminds me of the end of The Bill when they changed format.
It’s all about “issues” these days. Massive BLT agenda.
