From Quiz "Casualty": The Early Years

Answer: IRA

The first ever episode of "Casualty" aired on the 6th of September, 1986, and the first series concluded on the 27th of December that same year. However though it eventually proved to be extremely popular, the first and second series of "Casualty" received a great deal of negative publicity, with the Royal College of Nursing voicing their objections regarding the way in which their profession was portrayed. The show also came under fire due to the amount of smoking that took place on screen, and many were also quick to poke holes in what they deemed to be ludicrous and far-fetched storylines. The series weathered each one of these storms, reducing the amount of smoking that was shown on screen and defending its portrayal of nurses. However it was a real life incident that put paid to complaints regarding "Casualty's" storylines, as only a day after the episode "Seeking Heat" (which depicted an explosion caused by an IRA bomb) aired, then reality began to mimic the fictional events of the show. For the following day, an IRA bomb exploded in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, killing eleven and injuring sixty-three.

From Quiz "Casualty": The Early Years

Answer: Holby City Hospital

"Casualty" was originally titled "Front Line", and was the brainchild of Jeremy Brock and Paul Unwin, who were paired with seasoned producer, Geraint Morris, in order to get the project off the ground. Considered quite a risky endeavour at the time, the criticism the show received in its early years very nearly ended it, and Morris himself even announced publicly that "We felt that it should end on a high after thirty episodes". However things did not work out that way, and "Casualty" ended up being one of the BBC's most successful shows, so much so that in 1999 it spawned a spin-off series named "Holby City".
