Holby City Reviews

Holby City is a drama which is about the staff and patients of Holby. The drama seems to have many Doctors more so then Nurses at times and I find that instantly strange. The drama never shows you how people end up in Holby it shows you then arriving whether from the paramedics or just randomly showing up in a ward. You get to see some ...  Read the complete review

However whenever I have heard cast members of Holby City being interviewed they all comment on how realistic everything is and how they researched their part by attending hospital operations.  Holby City is a spin off from the popular saturday night programme Casualty. Whereas ...  Read the complete review

I have become something of an addict to TV hospital dramas, and while Casualty will always have a special place in my heart, I also quite enjoy watching Holby City.

It has now shifted in focus and the doctor's and nurse's private lives are the main basis of the programme. In my opinion this is a real shame since it used to be a great programme. In the beginning the programme followed the lives of the ...  Read the complete review

I confess I am a huge fan of Holby City. In years gone by I used to watch Casualty but once they produced the spin-off Holby City I couldn't watch it anymore, the storylines seemed dull and the acting wooden. Holby City is not as all out action-packed as E.R nor as glamorous but it is a busy show with many different storylines, many ...  Read the complete review

Mr Anton Mayer, Head of Department and wonderfully gifted heart surgeon, with all the warmth and compassion of a refrigerator and the comforting bedside manner of Hannibal Lecter. Mike Barratt, cuddly, approachable, warm as toast, but ever likely to get emotionally involved. These twin pillars of medical excellence are the framework upon ...  Read the complete review
