The show's hospital set at BBC Elstree Centre in Borehamwood Holby City is a British medical drama television series that was broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom between 12 January 1999 and 29 March 2022.

[1] The series was created by Tony McHale and Mal Young as a spin-off from the BBC medical drama Casualty, which is set in the emergency department of the fictional Holby City Hospital, based in the equally fictitious town of Holby.

[2][3] Young wanted to explore what happened to patients treated in Casualty once they were taken away to the hospital's surgical wards.

Despite being the most shortlisted Holby City actress, Amanda Mealing (who portrayed Connie Beauchamp) did not win any awards for her role.

Jimmy Akingbola was the most acclaimed actor from the series, winning two awards for his role as Antoine Malick.

Rebecca Wojciechowski and Peter Mattessi are the only members of the show's production team to win an accolade; they have each won a Writers' Guild of Great Britain award.

Recognising the talent and achievement of ethnic minorities, the Music Video and Screen Awards have been presented annually at the Birmingham Black International Film Festival since 2007.
