What Is A fanlisting?According to The Fanlistings: A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not only) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting fans across the globe.
Casualty Overview
Casualty is the longest running emergency medical drama series in the world, first broadcast in 1986 and transmitted in the UK on BBC One (with repeats on UKTV Gold). It was created by Jeremy Brock and Paul Unwin. The producer was Geraint Morris. The programme is based around the fictional Holby City Hospital and focuses on the staff and patients of the hospital's Emergency Department. Casualty is filmed approximately 3 months in advance of broadcast and runs for most of the year, taking a month's break during the summer.
Casualty is situated in Holby, a fictional city bearing a close resemblance to Bristol where the show is filmed. Bristol landmarks, including the docks and the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, are sometimes glimpsed in the outdoor scenes. The exterior shots of the hospital were formerly filmed at the city's technical college, but are now shot on an industrial estate in the Lawrence Hill area of the city, not far from the interior set of the hospital.
The drama concerns a group of doctors, nurses and administrators who work in the Accident & Emergency department (since Series 18 termed the Emergency Department (ED)). At the centre of the action is Nurse Manager Charlie Fairhead (played by Derek Thompson), a dedicated and caring man frequently at odds with the demands of hospital management. This has been a recurring theme over the years, but especially in the early series, which were frequently criticised for endorsing criticisms of National Health Service management under the Conservative government of the day.
In 2007 Casualty has won its first major award, the BAFTA for the best continuing drama. Long serving Ian Bleasdale, who plays the character Josh accepted the award at the ceremony, which took place at the London Palladium. He said "To the doctors, nurses and ambulance crews, thank you for doing the job you do. I hope we go some way to showing exactly what it is," and dedicated the award to show's original producer, Geraint Morris, who died in 1997.
