Casualty (series 1)
The first series of the British medical drama television series ''Casualty'' aired between 6 September and 27 December 1986 on BBC One.
==Development==
Originally titled "Front Line", ''Casualty'' was the then BBC Head of Drama Jonathan Powell's choice out of two potential new dramas being developed to fill the gap left by the police drama series ''Juliet Bravo'' on Saturday nights. The other idea was considered the safer option, a cottage hospital series; however, Powell decided to go for the more off-the-wall idea and gave the greenlight to develop a new drama series based around the work of A&E departments. On his decision, Powell commented: "I went for ''Casualty'' because there was a feeling of life and passion and, well I was anxious for new young people to create something." On the creators, Jeremy Brock and Paul Unwin, he remarked: "I put them with a very experienced producer, Geraint Morris, and hoped for the best."
''Casualty'' eventually aired on UK television for the first time on 6 September 1986 and ran for an opening series of 15 episodes. Whilst on screen the major storyline to hit Holby's A&E department that year was the fight to keep the night shift open despite managerial attempts to close it down; however, off screen the picture wasn't so different: ''Casualty'' soon found itself being condemned by Margaret Thatcher's government as well as being slammed by the Royal College of Nursing and real life nurses objecting to how they were portrayed on screen. After just 8 episodes had aired, co-creator, Brock found himself hauled in front of BBC Management to defend the series. Various changes were implemented such as cutting down on the excessive amounts of smoking in the series (perhaps reflecting the falling number of British people who were giving up smoking in real life during the 1980s) but the series remained true to its form and continued to portray storylines concerning NHS funding and poor hospital conditions.
Amid all of the controversy surrounding the series, it was beginning to appear as if the groundbreaking hospital drama would meet an unjustified early end. Work on a second series had already begun, however, and with 15 new scripts prepared and paid for, the BBC continued with the series. It is still running more than 25 years later
