Holby City Hospital
Holby City Hospital is the fictional hospital in which Casualty and Holby City are set. It is based on the Bristol Royal Infirmary where the original script writers went to observe to garner ideas for Casualty in the 1980s. Although both shows are set in the same hospital, Casualty is primarily filmed in Cardiff, whilst Holby City is filmed in Hertfordshire at the BBC's Elstree Studios. The indoor shots for the first series of Casualty were filmed at BBC Television Centre in London. The exterior shots of the hospital used in Casualty were formerly filmed at the City of Bristol College, then later moved to an industrial estate at 51°27′33″N 2°34′01″W / 51.459094°N 2.567030°W / 51.459094; -2.567030, close to the interior set of the hospital. It was announced on 15 October 2008 that the BBC is considering moving the filming of Casualty to studios in Cardiff. On 26 March 2009, the BBC confirmed the move. Since late 2011, Casualty has been filmed on a purpose built studio and backlot set at the BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff 51°27′46″N 3°09′23″W / 51.4627°N 3.1565°W / 51.4627; -3.1565.
