Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
ian1000 This show demonstrates the depths to which UK TV pre-watershed drama has sunk. With these dull scripts, mediocre acting, poor plots, awful dialog, one is forced to watch a DVD of any old ER episode to see excellent hospital drama.None of the actors employed on this show seem to be able to actually act!If you want low quality but easy to absorb soap opera style TV, this is the show for you. Personally I like something with more meat on the bone. Sadly as with all other UK licence payers, I'm funding this dross.
ross robinson Holby City is based on the same drama series as Casualty. Laura Sadler was an actress that starred in Holby City. She will be sadly missed and people will remember her as she was. Everything will now be different without her. GOD BLESS YOU LAURA, WE WILL MISS YOU.
someguyonthenet 'Holby City' has to be one of the most boring TV 'dramas' I have ever had the misfortune of watching. The plots are insipid, tedious, and cliched beyond belief. Does it possibly exist as some sort of retirement home for washed-up soap-opera actors ? Save yourself the pain and go and read a good book.
Rrrobert Holby City certainly _looks_ good. Superficially things look like a real hospital, though I've never figured out why the outdoors scenes shot outside the hospital all seem to occur at night. The acting and characterisation is also very good.However script wise this show trots out every ancient hospital drama cliché and familiar plotline ever known. Out of the small cast, four characters who work in the hospital have ended up patients in their own wards, the staff spend inordinate amounts of time dealing with patients' personal problems which all seem to come out only on their admission to hospital but which are all conveniently resolved within the hour; and each week there's an actor famously dropped from "Family Affairs", a host of "The Bill" guest stars, and former "Coronation Street" and "EastEnders" regulars in for good measure.Actually I have enjoyed some of the episodes I've seen (I've only seen seasons 1 and 2) but even the best episodes contain ridiculous plot contrivances that even the most naive lay-person must find difficult to swallow.SEASON TWO SPOILERSThe episode where Nick Jordan's hearing is held was particularly bad. He is clearly in the wrong but when its his time to testify he's off talking to the bereaved sister in her home! He arrives back at the hearing almost 40 minutes late and admits he was snogging his estranged wife/nurse co-worker in the theatre while they were both on duty and the gruff Dr Meyer smiles and says "I'm proud of what you did!" And means it!! I would have been disgusted; Dr Jordan's frank admission or not.Oh yeah, in the same episode with all those dramas and staff being counselled, reprimanded and suspended left and right, the illegal immigrant in the show's main subplot is allowed by hospital staff to "do a bunk" before authorities arrive. Given the grave situation occurring at the hospital concerning the performance of three key staff members, you'd have thought that _everyone_ there would be on their toes and following every rule to the letter that day. The last episode of season two was certainly dramatic, but how come no one had a mobile phone? And is Dr Meyer the only heart specialist in the UK? Couldn't they have called someone else? In a show so clearly trying for realism, you'd think they'd come up with some better scripts when everything else is so good.
