Part One was written by now Script Editor Simon Norman and Part Two by Ross Southard, both were directed by Kodjo Tsakpo and shot by Simon Walton.
Radio Holby focuses on Noel, played by Tony Marshall, who has always dreamt of being a DJ and decides to follow his dream to give the team a boost following the recent death of their colleague Jeff.
Talking to BBC Casualty, Ross Southard said ‘It has been a fantastic experience writing a webisode for Casualty and to see our scripts realised by some of the best in the business. I’m very proud and grateful to the ever brilliant and ever supportive Casualty team for the opportunity to bring this idea to life.’
Erika Hossington, Series Producer, said: ‘Casualty has some fantastic talent working behind the scenes as well as on screen and I was delighted when our website commissioned Ross’s idea. Everyone who worked on the webisodes stepped up a level, and with their passion, enthusiasm and dedication totally focused on making the best finished product, the end result is a real treat for our website visitors and fans.”
