What is the difference between holby city and casualty

As Exec, and splitting your week between two cities and two shows, you have something of a healthy distance, keeping the vision, strategy, audience, publicity and the commissioner in mind when you come to scripts and viewings at a later stage than the rest of the team.

The joy of execing Casualty and Holby, apart from them both having the most lovely, gorgeous, committed, hardworking casts and crews ever, is the fact that though they are set in the same hospital, they are different shows with a different tone, which is a challenge but really fun. I think when people look into getting into the industry, they can sometimes get too hung up on work experience, when really the most important thing for me is watch, watch, watch TV and know your shows and writers and directors and have opinions!!

I really came into the industry 14 years ago, off the back of being a freelance script reader in my spare time. Also, the technological world we live in now makes everyone a potential filmmaker!
