**SPOILERS MAY BE INCLUDED**

I'm not a huge fan of Holby City, mainly because I prefer Casualty and so I only watch the one because its all I need. Plus, thats where all my favourite characters are, or were as the case normally is! I was really looking forward to this, because when Casualty does a special, it does it special. And this special came with a bang, in the form of a large petrol tanker crashing into the Emergency Department. This then took several characters (Some of the best in my opinion) such as Harry, Jim and Rosie, and thrust them into danger. The more they did their job and tried to save the lives of the patients at the hospital, and the more they tried to look out for their colleagues and friends, the more their own lives looked doomed. The drama came to a dramatic conclusion with Jim desperately clasping to Harry as the bridge beneath them fell away. Now normally, Harry probably wouldn't have had a problem pulling him back to safety, but Harry also had hold of Rosie. Jim made a choice, that it was either all of them or him, and so, he let go. A sad, but brave and fantastically dramatic ending to an excellent two parter. The acting of all involved was top notch as always, and it leads the way to hopefully more special dramatic two parters involving each on their own, or both again. If you haven't seen it, but you can, WATCH IT!!

I thought overall it was very entertaining and the quality of acting was very good indeed. I thought certain characters and actors played a more dominant role than others which isn't a problem however I thought the general storyline was quite far fetched though entertaining.

The deaths of regular characters involved seemed to be quite rushed (the 1st, Alistair, in particular) and I thought some of the lines were found to be rather comical such as "I'm left handed" and "Oh, he's black", knocked the serious drama down into comedy category a bit but overall the entertainment was fantastic and very enjoyable to watch.

I've never really been a focused viewer of either shows but from what I saw on these two parts they are very good. I did however enjoy the second installment a bit more than the first as this was probably because it was more dramatic.

Nice to see appearances from actors I've seen in shows before such as Nicola Stapleton, Rene Zagger, Keith Lee Castle, the little girl's parents etc.

it is boxing day in Colby city, and in this special episode, the two smash hit dramas, casualty and Colby city join together for an amazing spectacular 1 hour of complete drama. a fuel tanker crashes into ED (emergency department)causing petrol to leak from the tanker into the basement in A&E, the sexy, hot Pediatrician, Jim Brodie, played by Grease 2 star Maxwell Caulfield, is soon on the scene to help, even though he has been struck off in America, he cant ignore, Rosie, a midwife from Colby city, caring a new born baby to safety, then, a series of unfortunate events occur, and Jim and Rosie battle to get to safety. finding the rest of the A&E team, they rush to a unsteady bridge and help each other across, if you don't want to know what happens next, don't read on..... the bridge collapse, while Rosie, Jim and harry Harper (Clinacal Director) life's hang in the balance, harry is holding on to Rosie and Jim, Jim knows in order to save Rosie's life he must let go, he lets go of harry, and falls to his death. the others get to safety quickly, if you haven't yet seen it, WATCH IT NOW......!!!
