A hit-and-run victim is admitted to Casualty but the hospital is not the safe haven she had expected when a bogus doctor attacks her. A son's passing brings his parents together and an old lady makes accusations about being abused but it is only a ploy to move in with her son. Charlie's got problems with the budget which is £8000 overdrawn.
Casualty is the world's longest running and most successful medical drama series on television. It depicts the private and working lives of the patients, doctors, nurses and all others attending a small but frantically busy accident and emergency department of the large Holby General hospital. By mixing episodic plots with longer, character-based stories it ensures that we get to know the characters as people with lives, not just doctors or nurses. With consistently superb storylines and great acting, Casualty is compulsive viewing. The show began in 1986 and since then only one character remains; the one and only Charlie Fairhead played by Derek Thompson.
