Medical Drama: Casualty 8.20pm BBC1
There's the usual blizzard of sub-plots this week, all adding up to a fairly heady mixture of gore and sentimentality. An unfortunate farmer comes in with his arm a bloody stump after a run-in with a threshing machine. And the farm dog has run off with his severed hand. Then, in one of those special Casualty road accidents that seem to happen with terrible inevitability, a woman is critically injured after what seemed to me to be a fairly tame bump of her head on the steering wheel. Her husband is a curmudgeonly disabled man who rails at staff and at his own son.
Mind you, it's about time someone had a go at the staff, who wander round trapped in their own little dramas, refusing to emerge into the daylight.
(Alison Graham TV editor)
