Question: Royal London Hospital TV Drama!?
What was the name of the Victorian drama series set in the Royal London hospital called, and what channel was it on!? I first saw it on TV about a year ago!. I would be interested to know if there are any other Victorian medical or crime series that you know of!. Many thanksWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's Edwardian which is possibly why you haven't found anything on it so far!. It was called Casualty 1907, I found a review of it here http://www!.theherald!.co!.uk/features/last!.!.!. !.

It was on BBC1 and you never know they may repeat it in the future or put it on BBC iplayer!.

Other Victorian/Edwardian dramas that might interest you include
Bramwell - about a female doctor
http://www!.imdb!.com/title/tt0111899/

Ruby in the Smoke - historical crime adventure based on the book by Philip Pullman and set in Victorian London (mostly)
http://www!.imdb!.com/title/tt0498382/

Any dramatisation of Sherlock Holmes!.

It's not necessarily crime/medical but the BBC have been dramatising some of Dicken's work!. The other year it was Bleak House and this year it is Little Dorritt!. They've been adapted by Andrew Davies who adapted Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth and the pond)Www@QuestionHome@Com
