What’s Holby City About?
Holby City is a highly successful primetime medical drama, airing on the BBC since 1999. Fifty-two episodes a year are produced with stories revolving around both the medical staff of Holby City Hospital and the patients receiving treatment there. It was originally developed as a spin-off of the popular emergency room drama Casualty which has played in the UK for two decades. Crossover episodes are still occasionally filmed. Stories with an underlying theme of bringing important health issues to public attention are done, as well as stories revolving around the personal lives of the hospital staff. A normal episode would include a story line of a patient’s crisis and resolution mixed with the continuing stories of the hospital staff. Holby City is filmed in London.
