Holby City to end

[gottago]

A stupid and somewhat internal political decision caused by the promise of Drama made elsewhere. 250 jobs rely on Holby city & Elstree has all the departments already there for continuing drama. Set & prop building, advanced (gory) make up etc.
Its as if the BBC where trying to piddle off their entire audience bit by bit. First news axe popular presenters then Production axe a popular continuing drama.
Of course the 'New' drama will have to be subject to a bidding process so BBC Studios are not guaranteed to get the commission.
Its true that Neptune house is falling apart but that is just a handy excuse.
Stupid senior management interference yet again.

…but no-one’s watching it.

It’s sad for the cast and crew but 2 million viewers for a mainstream prime time drama is not good value for money. It’s a show that’s long past its prime, has no impact on the public consciousness, isn’t even ticking any quota boxes. It’s amazing they’ve made it this far frankly. They’ve absolutely made the right decision to axe it.
