to think Casualty last night was ridiculous?

[grovel]

That's it really. Daft script which had me laughing.

[absolutelynotfabulous]

Yrs, I thought so too. Ridiculous. I couldn't concentrate on it at all.

Was it supposed to be in the style of a film noir? I was trying to explain to dd, but words failed me.

[PeasinPod1]

It was utterly dismal. Far too try hard and failed in every way. I was so looking forwards to a rare night in and watching this and was seriously let down grrrr!! Also just distracted the entire way through.

[Getthewonderwebout]

No doubt about it, it was quite odd.

New scriptwriter? Mixing up the usual fairly samey storylines?

But Dr Hardy I very lovely even with a hat and trench.

[Getthewonderwebout]

Is very lovely

[RachelRagged]

Not watched in years , Used to watch Holby until 5 or so months ago , ,got bored with the sameness. Felt it had had its day .

[drudgetrudy]

I look forward to Casualty but turned it off after 10 minutes last night.

[FelineLou]

I thought it was silly and not at all interesting. Antone who tolerated that much DV would not commit murder. And why drug Dr Hardy?
I enjoy the true to life scripts where real people need more minor treatment but too often the staff and friends need treatment to save on extra casting I suppose.

I look forward to it everyweek.. (particularly dr dylan keogh, could watch a full hour of his mardy arse sexiness ).but last nights was diabolical. I actually think they are trying to be too clever but failed miserably with that.

[EastMidsMummy]

Casualty is always ridiculous. Rotten show.

[addicted2cake]

Just watched it and yes, it was sooooo weird!
Saw an advert before it started tho for gbbo! Now that's exciting! Starts soon apparently, anyone know when?

[Writerwannabe83]

I've got it recorded in order to watch tomorrow but can't say this thread has given me much hope

[SallyMcgally]

YANBU. I turned it off and read Jane Green's new novel instead.

[MerryInthechelseahotel]

'Twas rubbish!

[FabulousFudge]

It was awful! I hate it when they do random episodes like that.

[CarlaJones]

Yay! GBBO!

[CheeseBaguette]

Last night's episode was beyond ridiculous. Just fucking awful. They need to sack the "Hollywood" aspiring script writer that is messing with it.

[Summerisle1]

It was fucking dreadful. I was particularly pissed off to be presented with this dross when I was already wishing that I'd gone to a local festival. So sitting down to this excuse for a watchable programme seemed like the ultimate insult.

[coffeeisnectar]

The best bit was Dylan's line about the cheese sandwich.

Utter shit the rest of it.

[mrstweefromtweesville]

It was terrible. I didn't find it funny.

[Summerisle1]

Funny? It was sodding tragic.

[monkeysox]

I liked it, was a nice change. Escapism.

[WayneRooneysHair]

Apparently they were trying to copy the style of Frank Miller's Sin City, not that I watch Casualty but I did hear about it.

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

I did watch it through to the end, but only in case something happened that was important to the rest of the series. But the whole film noir/Sin City thing pissed me off mightily.

Zara - you are spot on about Dr Keogh and his 'mardy-arse sexiness'!

[AlwaysDancing1234]

Very strange. Hope it's back to normal next week!
