I like the fact that the doctors can diagnose almost anything within seconds of feeling the sore spot, scans are done just like that, and people are talking immediately after serious operations. Good entertainment without too much sex or foul language. Not much of that on t.v. these days.
I really enjoyed Holby when Anton Mayer and Nick Jordan were in it. Sort of gave up when all the medical staff were at it like rabbits seemingly all the time. (No wonder the NHS is in a fix, nobody did any work then). Might give it another go and see what it is like now. I enjoyed the police spin-off too, Holby Blue. Did anyone like that one?
Well I thought that was the daftest episode ever. Would the whole hospital really come through the door to watch him die? And not his mum and dad?! I'm sorry. Total rubbish. Over dramatised. Talk about wringing the last few drops of pathos out of it. Didn't make me cry. Very disappointing. [hmm-]
Please just remember it is supposed to be entertainment, not real life. As entertainment goes, it was good value for money in my opinion. For true life, absolute rubbish of course! Shame Arthur's gone, he was a lovely gentle character.
Well, it was different! Perhaps the producers have decided to ramp up the drama in order to compete more with the other bigger soaps. I hope they don't go too silly, the actors are too good for that IMO.
