  8.5 Great

  23 years and still a strong pulse... hide « show »

  I've been watching this show for as long as I can remember. Who can forget the eerie siren from that spine tingling theme tune echoing out of their TV screens, Charlie Fairhead rubbing the back of his head in that long white coat and the gritty pollitical storylines of the 80's being shoved in your face all the subtulty of a brick.
  Yes, Casualty's back - the world's longest serving medical drama.
  
  Now back for a new series, Casualty has been home to many famous faces down the years (Orlando Bloom, Kate Whinslet, Robson Greene, Brenda Fricker...)home to many explosions, fires, suicides, punch-ups, extreme violence and just the odd broken leg - it has been almost home-less in many instances by the wrath of NHS cuts and corruption and is still standing for another year.
  
  The main focus of the show has been super nurse Charlie Fairhead and his ever passion for the NHS and his staff of nurses, his dedication to his patients and his dry sense of homour. This man is the main reason I still watch and back a few years ago when the writers tried to sideline him, just last year the true Charlie returned once more, fighting for his nurses and the NHS. The show may be a lot different than way back in 1986 when it debuted. "More sex than staples" was the headline in a few papers and the shift from pollitics and gritty medical storylines in favour of younger, sexier docs and nurses getting it on in the office began to creep in, slowly...until it just became a soap with a a hint of medical gargoun and the backdrop an A+E department.
  With countless silly love triangles, pointless laughable deaths and no need for for medical accuracy, Casualty had become a farce. But nevertheless, recently the pollitical focus and more patient orientated story lines have come back and it now seems more like the Casualty of old.
  Current chararacters Ruth, Toby, Adam, Abs and ofcourse Charlie are my favourites and last series had more good episodes than bad.
  
  Continuity, character development and the horrible modern theme tune are it's downside still, but they are working on it and I suggest if you've left Casualty years ago now might be a good time to go back becasue it definalty has improved heaps since 2003-2007.
  
  LONG LIVE CASUALTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10 Perfect

  I love the program casualty it's a total classic. hide « show »

  Even in Series One this program ,although very different back then, was a great show with highly entertaining storylines and characters. Classic characters like Duffy and Charlie are casualty and you cannot call yourself a fan if you don't know who they are. My personal favoured series is 15. It had two main gripping storylines. I preferred the one with Duffy and Andrew. They way they acted around each other after Duffy got pregnant again was so realistic. Andrew was played brilliantly and acted like a typical man who blamed the wife and refused to accept that he played a part. The sadness was not long after he did accept the fact she was pregnant and decided he wanted a baby he was killed. Yes some storylines may be repeated but i bet very view realise unless they have watched nearly all episodes of the program. But It has lost some of its regular viewers but getting rid of classic character and forgetting about the ones we like best by constantly brining new ones in that we don't want to know about. Despite this to me Casualty is still the best television show on Tv.

  5.2 Mediocre

  This used to be a great show. hide « show »

  Okay, I’ll admit it, I used to be a total Casualty addict – I’m over that phase in my life now!
  
  After discovering more fast-paced, less repetitive and better scripted shows where the characters have better chemistry and are more realistic, I stopped watching. Casualty simply didn’t interest me anymore.
  
  Now that the show has been running for over 20 series it has become monotonous, especially since it started being shown every week without a hiatus.
  
  One of the other reasons I turned off was that the cast was constantly changing. The end of series 19 where Bex left on a boat and Claire went ‘slightly’ crazy and plunged her car into the sea really brought about the death of this show for me and that’s when I stopped watching it regularly. After that all the paramedics left (Woody, Nina, Comfort & Luke) and I couldn’t be bothered with it anymore.
  
  The only reason I gave it such a high rating is because from series 16 (When I started watching properly) till series 19, it was a great show.

  Casualty isnt what it used to be. hide « show »

  Saturday night casualty used to be brilliant, but i feel that it has lost its way a bit. I think that a lot of this is too do with the characters. In the days of Lara, Patrick, Holly and Barney, the show had character and great storys, we had Hollys stalker, and then they went and killed off Patrick. Since then the character replacements havent been the same. since Josh the paramedic left we were introduced to Dixie, and Cyd, who i dont care about. Tears were shed when Patrick died and Josh was stabbed, now i dont care about the characters for the programme to mean as much as it used to.

  8.2 Great

  Charting the ordinary lives of medical staff in bristol for many years and still pleases viewers every time. hide « show »

  After watching Casualty for many years i have found the show becomming increasingly less interesting. I used to watch it all the time but now i dont really care if i miss a few episodes. When a really great storyline comes along, say the death of Ellen and injuring of Josh, the program gets really interesting but the rest of the episodes also need to reach that kind of standard which they have since, continually failed to reach. all in all i still find the program interesting and feel it has another few years of life left.
