A BBC continuing drama
Holby City was one of those big continuing dramas that almost every British actor seemed to cross paths with at some point. It was set in the same fictional hospital world as Casualty, premiered in 1999 and ran until 2022.
A continuing drama has its own rhythm: established characters, long-running relationships and a production world that is already moving fast before a guest actor arrives. Holby followed the professional and personal lives of staff at Holby City Hospital, with long-running characters including Ric Griffin, Jac Naylor, Donna Jackson and Connie Beauchamp across its 23-series run.
The episode
My episode is Apply Some Pressure, Series 12, Episode 31. It was directed by Mat King and first broadcast in May 2010.
Apply Some Pressure centres on a porters’ strike at Holby, with Mark Williams impressing chairman Terence Cunningham as he helps resolve the dispute. The episode also includes storylines involving Connie, Joseph, Michael and Ric.
