I was just wondering what people opinions of Holby Blue are. I watched the first few episodes of it but I didn`t really enjoy it, so I stopped watching. Are you enjoying it?

I'm still watching although not hooked as such. I liked the "mole in the station" storyline but get bored with the other characters. I would watch if it came back for a second series but not if it clashed with something else. I'm missing Holby City on Tuesday night so will be glad when that comes back to its normal slot.

Overall would give the series 7/10 but too many clichés and wooden characters to be scored higher.

Gave up after episode four, then watched last week's episode and realised it was still not very good. I'll watch the finale but it's not grabbed my attention as a whole series. Too many cliches, several boring and uninteresting characters, and some rather wooden acting going on.

Having said that, Lucy is an excellent and entertaining character, and Zoe Lucker is superb in this. I really thought Zoe was a one-trick pony after being (type)cast as Tanya Turner, but she's been very good in this. I just wish she was in a better programme.

It's OK, but with the station mole storyline they should have kept us in suspense of who it was rather than us knowing it was Harry from the start.

It's pretty exciting for me especially when I got the opportunity to interview the face behind DCI John Keen - would have been better if we had more questions to ask though.

I agree Zoe Lucker is very good. I think her rival wants to watch out. If she still has Tanya's fingernails she could inflict a lot of damage!! Don't reckon much to Kasey Ainsworth though. Not a believable policewoman I don't think.

Kacey Ainsworth was definitely miscast!

I don't know about it yet. Still haven't got an opinion. I keep watching it every week tho but only cos I've seen the actor who plays billy I think not too sure on the name the young one who nearly quit cos he was in a gang or something before. And am hoping I'll remember from where by watching it.

He's been in almost them all. He's called Stenga.

I watched the first and didn't really enjoy it to be honest. I think I was probably unrealistic in my expectations - I wanted it to be like 'Holby City' and 'Casualty' as I am a regular viewer of both shows. However, I felt there was nothing in H B that I hadn't seen 100 times already in 'The Bill'. I know its coming back next year, but I'll be interested to see whether it becomes a long runner like its sister shows.

HB doesn't have that many fans on this forum, but I'm one of them. I actually like the different characters and storylines - and agree that Zoe Lucker is v good in it!

Am hoping it'll pick up in popularity if it comes back for a 2nd series.

I quite like the show, im not overly keen on it, but I do quite like it.

You will be pleased to hear it has already been recomissioned for a second series.

I watched all of this series barr one episode, it had it's good points and bad points. Certainly nothing groundbreaking (which was part of its remit I think) but I did like the way the Stenga storyline wove its' way through the whole series and was not all cut and dried in one episode.Zoe Lucker I really liked, which I was surprised about. Some of the acting was a bit hammy and certain things were a little predictable,. but all in all not a waste of 60 minutes each week and worth a 2nd run (beats reality TV if nothing else !)

I watched some of it last night. One noticeable thing is how awful it looks on my TV. It's so dark, and bleak. I had to switch off because just looking at it was depressing me.
