Reviews

If you're a fan of 'Holby City' then this brand new book by author Sue Haasler will be right up your street. The writer, known for her novels 'Time After Time and Two's Company', accessed all areas of the popular BBC medical drama to craft a bible for fans of the show - of which she is one of the biggest. As well as including a host of behind the scenes interviews with various members of the cast, the book also explains how the show makes it from the scripting process to our screens and contains a wealth of information on the filming process and the storylines, including how those often gruesome operations are made to look to realistic. Speaking about the project, which saw Sue spend hours at the Elstree studios with the accommodating team, she told Metro: `Writing this book has been an absolute pleasure. Talking to all of these brilliant people, who are experts at what they do, was amazing. I think everyone who is curious about how TV is made will find something interesting or surprising in it, and Holby fans will love it.' - Metro
