List of Casualty characters
Wikimedia list article
Casualty is a British medical drama television series that has been broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom since 6 September 1986. The series was created by Jeremy Brock and Paul Unwin and focuses on the fictional lives, both professional and personal, of the medical and ancillary staff at the Accident and Emergency Department of the fictional Holby City Hospital, currently based in the equally fictitious city of Holby. It is the longest-running primetime and emergency medical drama television series in the world. It was primarily filmed in the city of Bristol until 2011, when it began filming at Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff, where it has remained since. The show has aired forty full series with over 1000 episodes and is currently airing the forty-first series. Brock and Unwin devised the serial after being inspired by the "comedy and heroics" of life in the National Health Service (NHS) and tackled a string of controversial topics through the show. A spin-off series, Holby City, began airing from 1999 and follows patients' stories after they are transferred to the hospital's surgical wards. The show was cancelled in 2022 and concluded the following year. A police procedural spin-off, HolbyBlue, began airing from 8 May 2007, running for two series before being cancelled due to poor viewing figures.
The serial features an ensemble cast of regular and recurring characters, beginning with ten main characters in its first series.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6566324. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2011, 1000 and 1999.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
