Fans of BBC One Drama Holby City will be delighted to hear that filming has re-started today with a special episode that finds Holby City Hospital in the clutches of the Coronavirus Pandemic a subject that will be ongoing throughout the series.
The new special episode will see Holby City’s CEO Max (Jo Martin) try to keep the hospital in control and her staff safe as coronavirus takes hold. But it’s not just the pandemic Max is fighting, as Ric (Hugh Quarshie) goes head to head with Max, having previously lost all trust in her. As the task at hand proves to be bigger than anyone could have imagined, it begins to take its toll on Max and the Holby City staff… will they get through this?
The show’s production team have developed comprehensive production protocols to ensure that the show is produced in a safe and responsible manner. In accordance with current government guidelines, social distancing will be adhered to.
Kate Oates, Head of Continuing Drama at BBC Studios, says: “It’s with great pleasure that we open the doors at Elstree to welcome back the exceptional cast and crew of Holby City. We have some gripping stories to tell as we explore how the lives of our characters have been irrevocably changed since the start of the pandemic – and how our heroes battle against the odds, come what may.”
Holby City will be back on screens later this year at the slightly shorter duration of 40 minutes.
