Why is Holby City being axed?
Are they making space for a bigger EastEnders Set? Or will they film stuff like Star Wars at Elstree again?

@VirginMatchmaker I think it’s fair to say the tv market for Doctor and Cop dramas has been MASSIVELY over-saturated the last fifty years !
What’s truly sad is that we’ve lost some of the best drama writers over the last ten years.
Jimmy McGovern; Alan Bleasdale; Lynda La Plante….. and because tv is now so fragmented into online satellite; cable; streaming….terrestrial tv is unlikely to invest in new writing

@Picklebobble2 yeah I agree it's been massively saturated. Can you remember yet another one Holby Blue! Funnily enough ai enjoyed the first series and the second I turned off as did the BBC lol.
I think there's a lot of diluted TV because there's not enough decent writers to go around. Even in the 80s we still only really had 4 channels until Sky and BSB came about. The satellite companies were churning out dreadful TV.
Although I did personally enjoy Men and Motors and Live TV lol.

@Picklebobble2 Oh yeah the joys. Although I'm sure they couldn't do that now because it's politically incorrect.
