After 23 years on our screens, Holby City will be treating its last patients on Tuesday, March 29. Filming for the long-running medical drama wrapped up on December 17 last year, much to the disappointment of many fans who have watched the show since its inception.
The news of Holby City's demise came via the official Twitter account in June 2021, leaving fans so upset that an online petition was launched. 'Don't Scrap Holby City' garnered nearly 44,000 signatures, but sadly failed to change the mind of the BBC.
Holby City, which has employed medical researchers over the years to make the script as accurate as possible, was launched shortly before the millennium as a spin-off of the already established hospital drama, Casualty, on January 12, 1999. Although both shows are set in the same hospital, they are filmed in completely different locations, with the original being filmed in Cardiff, and the latter in Hertfordshire.
