Hospital dramas come together in special to mark Holby anniversary
Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel) RIVALRY HOLBY City and Casualty will merge for a special for the first time in 14 years. The hospital dramas will join forces for a two-part show on BBC1 as the staff of the emergency department and the wards are hit by a cyber attack. The crossover starts during Casualty on March 2 and will conclude during Holby City on March 5, the show’s 20th anniversary. Both shows are set in fictional Holby City Hospital. Producer Simon Harper said: “You’ll see both the Casualty and Holby teams striving heroically against the odds in two episodes of pure, taut, emotional medical drama. There’s so much to relish... an especially poignant thematic resonance between two regulars, Connie [Beauchamp] and Jac [Naylor] in delicious conflict.
“And, perhaps most vitally, who from Casualty has been secretly carrying on with whom from Holby.”
