List of Holby City episodes

Holby City is a British medical drama television series that premiered on 12 January 1999 on BBC One.[1] The series was created by Tony McHale and Mal Young as a spin-off from the established BBC medical drama Casualty.[2] It is set in the same hospital as Casualty, Holby General, in the fictional city of Holby,[3] however Holby City is filmed at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, while Casualty is filmed in Cardiff.[4] Occasional crossovers between the two shows were broadcast as Casualty@Holby City. In 2006, HolbyBlue, a police procedural spin-off from Holby City, went into production.[5] Its second series launched with a Holby City crossover episode.[6]

Holby City follows the lives of surgeons, doctors, nurses, other medical and ancillary staff and patients on the hospital wards. Twenty series of the show have aired, with a twenty-first series currently airing. The show's first series ran for nine episodes. The second and third series ran for sixteen and thirty episodes respectively, with new episodes then airing on a weekly basis from the fourth series onwards. The show typically airs on Tuesdays in the 8:00 pm timeslot, although it is occasionally broadcast on a different day dependent on BBC scheduling.[7] In 2007, the show temporarily moved to Thursday nights, allowing HolbyBlue to air in the 8:00 pm Tuesday timeslot.[8]
