To think that Casualty is the worst programme on TV?

[Yawnychops]

It is abismal. The writing is terrible and predictable and acting is even worse.

DH watches it every Saturday and every week I sit there watching it groaning and telling DH how shite it is, much to his amusement.

I think it's time a bomb was dropped at Holby hospital and the series cancelled.

Does anyone actually enjoy it?

Noo! I loves a bit of casualty I do!
It's always fun guessing when and what the 'look away now' moment will be.

Its not still on is it. Is Charlie still there with his bemused expression.

I LOVE IT

Yes, Charlie is still there and still can't act. Tess is there - currently wearing a dodgy wig.

There's a really bloody annoying nurse who cocks up every week and gets away with it.

It's just finished and here comes Catherine Tate's Nan. This will either be really funny or really disappointing. I suspect the latter.

I can't believe Charlie is still going. What is he now, the chief exec. Does he still randomly look into the distance whilst talking to people.

I don't know, i still think of him as Charge Nurse Charlie but he seems to run the place whilst staring into space.

God, this Catherine Tate show is awful - practically every stereotype going. Really lazy writing.

Perhaps I'm just a misery?

Love Casualty, hate sat night if it is not on ( I have no life)

No, I'm a nurse and I hate it! Although not as much as Holby city.

What a load of bollocks. It makes me shout at the tv.

I once had a patient say to me 'it's not like casualty'. No because that's a fucking tv programme!

It makes me angry, you can tell...

Charlie is now some kind of super nurse, with all the sexual allure of a sluice room.

Yabvvvu. It's the only thing I never miss on tv.

it's not exactly high culture and all the above criticisms are valid. But it is all good clean fun, and there are certainly many much worse programmes.

gas cylinders kept indoors in a bar? Really??

Is Lee Mead in it yet? I am going to start watching it then.

I enjoy Casualty :)

I am now watching "Saturday Night 80s Disco" on VH1 though as
Catherine Tate looked utter shite.

I love casualty! I have a very lovely friend who is a paramedic, and apparently casuslty is not 'based on RL' at all. Gutted

Catherine Tate was actually very funny.

re casualty, yabu. we play "guess the accident". and I love Fletch

I used to enjoy it years ago when it was more about the patients than the staff, and you would see people bimbling about and play "guess what horrible accident is going to happen to these people". Also it used to be filmed in Bristol when I was a student there, so I could location spot.

I imagine that it irritates medical professionals. A friend who has a child with allergies was irked by a recent episode when they injected an epipen in someone's arm (not the usual place, as I understand it).

Pobble I shout at the TV too!! They can't even get basic medical facts right and have surgeons anaesthetising patients without IV access, no airways, monitoring - not even a sodding ODP or anaesthetic nurse!

Whoever is the medical advisor on casualty or Holby either hasn't worked for 60 years or gets their information from Wikipedia.

InPursuitOfOblivion, anaesthetising via an oxygen mask in a theatre room that's just off the corridor.

Oh and they can do any job! Who cares if you're a midwife? Go run hdu!

Aaaargh!

YABVU. It's so bad, it's brilliant.

Ok, so it seems I am being unreasonable and a bit of a misery.

However, in true AIBU tradition, I will refuse to accept it and believe that I'm right.

You are right. It's wrong.

Don't even start me on Hollyoaks medical inaccuracies....

Charlie is able to diagnose anyone, anytime.
