Huge BBC soap taken off air and replaced - and won't return to screens for months


The Saturday night staple has ended and won't return now until Christmas Day...

The drama, which was shot in London and Queensland, Australia, stars Annette Bening and Sam Neill as a couple ready to enjoy married life when she suddenly goes missing and their four children start to investigate the secrets of their parents' lives. Launching on BBC back in 1986, Casualty quickly became a TV favourite and made stars of its cast, which included Derek Thompson as nurse Charlie Fairhead and Julia Watson as house officer Baz Samuels. It is thought to have launched a string of careers, with Kate Winslet, Orlando Bloom, Minnie Driver, Tom Hiddleston, Jodie Comer, Martin Freeman and Ray Winstone all having appeared in the drama.
