Style
The series was quite different from most other archetypal British hospital dramas. The set and the lighting were gloomy and realistic, and the use of shaky, hand-held cameras gave it a naturalistic look. In addition, the surgical scenes were notable for their graphic nature, offering intimate detail of various procedures, the operational complications dealt with in explicit detail. As a result the themes were also often dark and depressing, including negligence, manipulation and death.
The storyline closest to one of love was the Rob and Donna affair, and even that was portrayed at times as being sordid and depraved, underlining the sombre nature of the show.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Style is the man himself.
[Le style c’est l’homme même.]”
—Leclerc, George-Louis Buffon, Comte De (1707–1788)
“Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world. That expression can take many forms, from artistic interests, a way of thinking, athletic activities, a particular style of dressing, musical talents, different hobbies, etc. Our job is to join our children in discovering who they are.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
