Great British medical drama

Posted : 16 years, 11 months ago on 26 May 2007 09:01

Casualty has been one of my favourite shows on and off for years, and I can always stop and start watching at any time and be back in the loop within a few shows. This is partly because I basically grew up watching the show every week, but also because each episode has a story of its own along with the main, making it very easy to get into.

It is officially the longest running medical drama in the world (at 21 years) and there is even one character that has been on the show throughout it all. Unlike its spin-off Holby City the characters are long running, and it is probably for this reason that I never really stuck with the latter show but kept coming back to Casualty even after breaks of a year or so.

Casualty is more gritty and realistic than other medical dramas which has definite appeal as the characters are more easy to relate to.

Long running like the classic British soaps (but so much better) and easy to get into, it is a favourite of mine for weekly watching. It is a great drama with plenty of stories to follow which last for varying durations, and characters that have something to offer the watcher. A great British drama that I hope continues long into the future.
