Best thing on telly I reckon.

Lona Tue 05-Apr-16 21:14:08

Me too, most of the time.

Thebeeb Tue 05-Apr-16 21:28:41

Me too. That and Casualty are my two favourites of the week.

I love it too! Only one thing annoys me though: everyone can always park right at the front of the hospital no bother at all!

I love trying to diagnosing the patients before the "doctors" I'm usually right smile

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?

Jane10 Sat 09-Apr-16 13:36:22

I was never convinced by Mayer or Jordan. Seen them in too many other things. I'm not sure if I did see Holby Blue. What was it about?

Good one again tonight. Sorry to see Jesse go. I like him. (And he's gorgeous)

grumppa Tue 12-Apr-16 21:34:11

Thank heavens Jesse has gone. He was a pain in the.........

Ana Tue 12-Apr-16 21:58:09

Oh no, I agree with jingl, h's gorgeous and in no way a pain in any area...you're only jealous grumppa!

I like Holby too - especially Hansson - he's like a wise old owl.

Lillie Tue 07-Jun-16 21:21:16

I thought tonight's episode was well acted by all the cast. Quite moving.

Jane10 Tue 07-Jun-16 21:26:03

I'm away from my telly home right now so having withdrawal symptoms! All recorded though so lots to look forward to.

I thought it was excellent and very moving indeed. Jac does have a heart .

Lona Tue 07-Jun-16 22:02:01

That scene where zosia broke down with Jac made me cry, the acting was really good all through.

Ana Tue 07-Jun-16 22:25:25

Oh, I cried during the final scenes - so well acted by all of the cast...sad

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jun-16 23:15:13

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-]

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jun-16 23:17:03

And I missed In The Club watching it on catchup, cos I was away last week and had to watch the episode on then.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jun-16 23:18:23

Shame Arthur's gone. He was a good character.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 07-Jun-16 23:20:03

What was that dancing thing all about? As if! Was like something from Children in Need.

Eloethan Wed 08-Jun-16 00:07:47

It was so sad. I too think it's a shame Arthur has gone - he was such a sweet character. I wonder if he has other TV work lined up.

ninathenana Wed 08-Jun-16 00:53:15

I thought the same jings 're everyone standing in the doorway.
I think Jac is being a bitch to Zosia because she sees herself in her

PRINTMISS Wed 08-Jun-16 07:51:02

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.

Lona Wed 08-Jun-16 08:05:59

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.
