AGREED! I have been trying to make myself heard for weeks now.. instead they just ignore me...

they think they know what's best for the show, but when they get a load of complaining viewers they can't be doing a very good job - I mean afterall, we're the ones they're trying to please!!!

They say that they can't take our advice seriously because they have to look at the 'bigger picture', what this means, is that they look at the statistics, and if enough people are watching each show... then there's no need to change anything!

What they don't understand is that the majority of fans are sick of watching the same series of the same shows over and over again, most only do it either to show their loyalty, or in the hope that maybe, just maybe, a different series might end up on our screens one day, but UKGold are too stubborn to let that happen!

Just like with The Bill, us Casualty fans are BEGGING for series 14 and 15 to be shown, we always assumed that eventually they would, but we too are now getting the series from 2 years ago, they wait till it catches up with today, and then they go back to 2 years ago again, its a neverending loop of the same episodes and we're all sick of it!!

When will they listen to the people who they should be trying to please in the first place?!!

DavidUKTV if you see this please for crying out loud read this message and respond!!!

Yea right! About a month ago, I was browing through my TV Guide, and found that there were 4 episodes of Holby City all being played in the middle of 1 night!!! Logical? I think not! But it gets less logical, when I discover that the 1st of these four episodes, is the car crash where Ben and Steve die, the next 3 episodes that night jump back about has a series, so Ben and Steve are alive and well, with both legs! I then find myself watching the car crash again about 3 weeks later! And oh my gosh I am SOOOO sick of watching Chrissie and Owen's marriage break-up, Cath go to court over the euthanasia, and Ben and Steve die... is this the only series in Holby City? I believe that there are currently 9 series' in this show... stpo showing the same xxxx 1 over and over again!!

And as for Casualty, I woke up this morning, looked at my watch, and it was 11:10 (well I have the week, off I gotta enjoy my sleep), and I thought, hey I believe Casualty will be on now (though these days that's hardly a guarantee), and dyano I sat through half of this morning episode, got incredibly bored of quoting Comfort's cries for help, and Tally's seductive attempt at getting Simon... I'm not doing that again, I'll find something more interesting to watch than a Casualty episode I've seen about 8 times over... no exaggeration! I really just want to see series 14 and series 15... is that so much to ask?!

Whatever happened to good TV? Good Casualty? Good UKGold?!!!! What does it take around here to be heard?!!!

Scrap that last post...

Yea I have quite a few episodes on tape, I have:

Series 15:

If anyone wants them let me know and we'll see what we can arrange... if anyone has any of s14 and s15 please let me know!!

There is no logic to this... hence the rampage against UKGold... I'm doing everything in my power to make myself heard, and I recommend if you want to see some good Casualty, you do the same!

I just got an email telling me there was another reply to this topic... but the last post I see is my own... which can't be right coz this topic has been bumped... what's going on?!!!

OK so I'm clearly being ignored around here, what happened to Holby City? Dontya just miss the days when we could come home from school or work, and Holby City would be on, and then a good ol' Casualty episode straight after? Then they stopped doing that, and I thought, well it's OK, I can always tape the good episodes and watch them when I get the chance, but I clearly can't even do that anymore!

Holby City at 10, and Casualty at 11 is how it's been for years and years and years... why break the habit of a lifetime? To show more of The Bill? pah!

I don't understand why they started putting Holby City on at 2am, with no prior warning, had I not done an A-Z listing search for it, I wouldn't have found it at all!

But Holby City is just 1 of many things that is messed up about UKGold's new system... what happened to Casualty? You know, that classic hospital drama, which everybody loves... but we never get to appreciate it anymore... why? Because after 5 or 6 times over, watching series 18 and then 19, and then back to 18 again becomes maybe just a tad overplayed. I used to absolutely love watching Casualty, when they played older series, the ones that we don't get to see anywhere else, because the BBC is too stubborn to put them on DVD... if I have to look on the TV guide and find the downfall of Simon Kaminski, and his pathetic love affair with Lara, and then going on to Ellen's fake marriage to Abs 1 more time I might scream. I stopped watching Holby and Casualty a long time ago on UKGold, simply because I knew eventually they would go back and play the amazing series 14 and 15 again sometime soon, but now I don't believe it's ever gonna happen, TV is just gonna get worse and worse, and they'll eventually just stop showing Casualty altogether, like they did with Holby City!

I miss good TV!

Well, the other day, I reported DavidUKTV's reply to this thread, stating that it didn't answer the question, and demanding for an answer,I think it's about time this channel listened to its viewers!!

Series 18 are you kidding me? You guys must have played this season nearly 6 times over in the last three years, which drives me crazy coz not only is it not a good season at all, the 3 episodes which I do like in it I already have on tape...

And no I'm not fussed about series 20, I only just watched it a year ago on the bbc... whatever happened to the wondrous series 15? The day I see Pheonix in my TV Guide will be the best day of my life (apart from maybe my wedding, the day I give birth, and the day I get promoted), because it will mean I'll FINALLY get to see the best series of Casualty ever aired!!

And I'm with lukerocks24 here, it's only common decency to reply when we've asked them to enough times! The fans are getting restless

This is getting so ridiculous, they never tell us what they're up to, so i have to search the internet, and I find that Casualty just vanished from UK Gold altogether, and Holby City, 4 a night? Isn't that a LIL bit extreme?

I understand that you're worried about catching up, to be honest I'm not fussed about series 20 anyway (well let's face it, it just gets worse from series 18 onwards...) But what I really want to see back on the screens is the awesome Series 15! You used to have a system where you would show 15, 16, 17, 18 then go back to 15 again! Sadly I always somehow missed the best parts of Series 15, even though it's the best 1!

But Series 15 hasn't been on our screens now for nearly 2 years, and I've been waiting and waiting, what's a girl gotta do around here to get good TV?!
