Holby City (series 1)
The first series of the British medical drama television series ''Holby City'' commenced airing in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 12 January 1999, and concluded on 9 March 1999. The show was created by Mal Young and Tony McHale as a spin–off from the BBC medical drama ''Casualty'', intended to follow the treatment of patients from ''Casualty'' as they were transferred onto the hospital's surgical wards. McHale served as the programme's lead writer throughout the first series, which ran for nine episodes. Young cast actors who were already established names in the acting industry, particularly from a soap opera background. Several cast members shadowed real surgeons and nurses in preparation for their roles to increase the show's realism. The series received mixed reviews from critics. It was compared favourably with ''Casualty'', but received negative reviews in which it was contrasted poorly with the American medical drama ''ER''. The series première attracted 10.72 million viewers, falling to 8.51 million by the series finale.
The series focuses on the hospital's cardithoracic ward, Darwin. Department heads and consultant surgeons Anton Meyer (George Irving) and Muriel McKendrick (Phyllis Logan) clash frequently over patient care and division of beds. Tension arises between nurses Julie Fitzjohn (Nicola Stephenson) and Jasmine Hopkins (Angela Griffin) over the position of Darwin ward sister. Registrar Nick Jordan (Michael French) clashes professionally with his estranged wife Karen Newburn (Sarah Preston), and pursues relationships with registrar Kirstie Collins (Dawn McDaniel) and theatre sister Ellie Sharpe (Julie Saunders). Ward clerk Paul Ripley (Luke Mably) resigns after being caught kissing a comatose patient, and senior house officer Victoria Merrick (Lisa Faulkner) begins taking amphetamines to cope with the pressures of work. In the series finale, Jasmine is stabbed by thieves, and Nick endeavours to save her life in theatre.
==Production==
''Holby City'' was created by Tony McHale and Mal Young as a spin–off from the long–running BBC medical drama ''Casualty''. Young wanted to explore what happened to patients treated in ''Casualty'' once they were taken away to the hospital's surgical wards.〔 While ''Casualty'' scope is limited to "accident of the week" storylines about patients entering hospital, ''Holby City'' allowed the possibility of storylines about long–term care, rather than immediate life and death decisions.〔
Although both shows are set in the same hospital, the ''Casualty'' set in Bristol was not large enough to encompass the surgical ward and operating theatre required for ''Holby City'', so the series was produced at the BBC's Elstree Studios in north London. As a result, some crossover scenes had to be shot twice, first on the ''Casualty'' set and then again at Elstree, with cast members travelling between the two locations. McHale wrote the series' first episode, and served as the show's lead writer.〔 ''Holby City'' premiered on 12 January 1999 on BBC One. Its first series ran for nine episodes of 50 minutes in length,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holby City )〕 which were broadcast first in the 8.10 pm, then 8 pm timeslot on Tuesdays.〔
