Have the Holby City writers gone Mad?

“Have the Holby City writers gone Mad?”

Written on: 05/01/2018

I have been an avid Holby City viewer for many years and I have to say that I am at the stage of turning off the TV altogether or watching something more entertaining like the test card (remember that?). Having systematically got rid off some of the regular characters in recent weeks, they seriously wound two of the best characters and some bright spark thought it would be a good wheeze to put Ric on remand for punching someone in the face - really? The current story lines are absolute pants, boring and unrealistic. Over the years there have been some pretty far-fetched story lines, but I have always stuck with it out of my sheer love for the programme, now however my patience is being tested to the limit. How about getting back to basics and having some patients with believable ailments and general worries about the state of the NHS? The only good thing that has happened recently is the return of Dr. Petrenko and that only lasted a nano second. Please BBC programmers what are you playing at?
