How Not To End Up In Casualty

Launched in 1986 at a time when the NHS was under increasing pressure, Casualty featured the working lives of the staff in the emergency department of a large, inner-city hospital. The first series consisted of just 14 episodes and a pilot. Now a quarter of a century on, Casualty runs for 47 weeks a year and is still a stately staple of BBC One's Saturday night schedule, regularly pulling in over 6 million viewers in a much-changed tv landscape.
