Casualty moved in TV schedules tonight as BBC has another shake-up

Fans of BBC medical drama Casualty should be aware of changes to the TV schedules once again on Saturday, August 10. For the BBC is moving its usual Saturday night programmes from BBC One to BBC Two as it makes way for Olympics coverage.

It means that Casualty will be aired instead on BBC Two at 8.10pm, just like the previous two weeks. Last week, the official Casualty Instagram site issued a reminder to fans about the changes.

Viewers were left in tears during that episode when Doctor Dylan Keogh, played by William Beck, was confronted with heartbreak upon discovering that his dog Dervla was suffering from cancer, leading to a poignant turn of events.

The episode opened with Dylan at the veterinary clinic, where he described Dervla’s symptoms and was told by the vet they should cease treatment and focus on her comfort.

Despite this, Dylan insisted on further tests and any possible measures to save his beloved dog. Throughout the episode, Dylan’s thoughts were consumed with worry for Dervla, so much so that he overlooked signs that one of his patients had been assaulted.

Casualty first aired in 1986 and has become a fixture of Saturday night television, leading to the creation of the spin-off, Holby City, in 1999.

Primarily filmed in and around Wales, it focuses on the lives of the staff and patients at the fictional Holby City Hospital’s emergency department. Over the years, many prominent names have featured in the soap, and among the current cast members is Barney Walsh, who portrays Nurse Cameron Mickelthwaite.

In forthcoming episodes, the BBC One soap will delve into the traumatic past of Nurse Cameron, revealing and examining the sexual abuse he endured as a teenager.
