No BBC Scotland continuity for the lottery results or before Graham Norton. A lot of background noise over Reporting Scotland too at 1025. Wonder what was going on.

Casualty is in Cardiff
Holby City is at BBC Elstree (the old Grange Hill building (pre-Liverpool) is the same building for Holby City)
thought holby city was in cardiff as well now from reading stuff on other forums could be wrong though

Ish.
Holby it shot using the BBC office building at Elstree converted to look like hospital wards, as a 'real' location. Grange Hill was shot in conventional studios at Elstree, with sets, as a 4-waller.

really? is this true?
Yes.
Casualty, which started in 1986, is set in the fictional West of England city (or is it town?) of Holby.
Holby City, which started 13 years later, in 1999, is set in the same city, and was introduced to show the wider hospital outside the A&E (or Casualty) department. So it was a spin-off.
Confusingly, Holby is mainly shot at BBC Elstree, whilst Casualty was shot in Bristol (where both shows were effectively set) but is now shot in Cardiff.
Holby Blue was also a spin-off, concentrating more on the Police force in the fictional location (and made by an independent)
I like them both, and to be honest, Holby City was created as a Casualty spin-off, so there is some similarity.

Quite... (Though hopefully forgivable...)

They wouldn't be able to show any post-watershed content at all then. The current solution of putting the daytime stuff in daytime is a much better system that sticking the whole lot in night time as before. To be honest they could do with signing some more programmes at night or showing some more repeats - now that the BBC News simulcast is only on BBC One there's often quite a hefty gap between the end of the late Sign Zone and start of the Learning Zone (if it's on at all that night).
Sign Zone is now split in two. One section follows regular BBC2 programmes and ends at about 3.40am and then the other segment starts around 8am and runs until 10am.
Personally I think they should run Sign Zone until 10am after the Learning Zone, rather than splitting it in two like that.

And the outside/playground of the Grange Hill building is the CURRENT car park of Holby City - the outside of the buildings are the same. Of course the sets are going to be different!!!
That's what I meant!
