I'd have also liked to see have seen much more celebration of the 25th anniversary last September. If go to 1:11 here you'll see a quick reminder of how the BBC used to spend time actually promoting Casualty.

I think certainly by 1996 or 1997, it had settled into an 8.05pm or 8.10pm slot that it would keep until 2002/03 when they started moving it to 8.25pm and what not.

In the same way that a soap or continuing drama could be classed as people bonking off and having affairs and yelling all the time.

It's not world changing but it's important as our biggest British hope in 10 years in playing.

'#HolbyRiots, Part One'
Airs Saturday, Jul 21 2012 at 21.10

Lloyd and Scarlett attend a vigil for local man Wesley Royce. It begins peacefully, but as tensions build, trouble breaks out between the crowd and the police. As the violence worsens, Lloyd and Scarlett become separated. Seduced by the atmosphere, Scarlett does something she'll live to regret…

Jeff and Dixie are also caught up in the violence when they try to treat a young mother who's suffering from anaphylactic shock. As the baying crowd try to stop the ambulance getting through, Jeff and Dixie have to use all their experience to get the dying Amber to the ED.

Meanwhile, Yvonne and Jordan are called to give a statement to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is investigating Wesley's death.

Under fire from the investigators, Yvonne thinks Jordan isn't supporting her and they argue. Frustrated and now off the case, Yvonne sees the situation worsen and ventures out into the night to take matters into her own hands.

BBC ONE and BBC HD

In a tense and thrilling finale to the current series of Casualty, #HolbyRiots Part 2 sees Jordan undertaking dangerous surgery on his girlfriend Superintendent Rippon, as the riots block the route into the ED.

A vigil for Wesley Royce blows up into a full-scale riot, and Scarlett is swept along with the rioters. In a face-off with the police she finds herself on the wrong side of the law. Unsure of which way to turn, she is pressured into helping a severely injured rioter. Picking up the pieces, Lloyd comes to the horrible realisation that he really doesn’t know his girlfriend.

Dixie and Jeff are dispatched to pick up the gravely injured Yvonne. They realise she needs immediate critical care and request a doctor. Jordan goes, but can he keep his emotions in check and do the job?

He sure is

[superdooper]

I quite enjoyed this episode. Really liked the scene between Dylan and Sam. I think William Beck plays him so well - he could easily be a really unsympathetic character but he manages to play him in a way that just makes you want to look after him!

Fletch seems alright so far, although I'll need more time before I really make up my mind.

[Maria747]

Hi everyone,
I am new on the Casualty thread. I have started watching it again ( after many years), the last few episodes. It seems pretty good.So far, I like Dylan, Jordan and Zoe at the moment . Charlie was always my favourite.
The schedule is abit upside down with the bbc as I missed it last saturday.
