Casualty and Holby City, the BBC’s two prime medical dramas, are donating protective equipment and medical supplies to the NHS as part of the fight against coronavirus.
The BBC reports that producers are in discussions with local NHS services to give personal protective equipment [PPE] “and other useful medical items to assist them”.
The BBC is also rallying to provide education, entertainment and news updates for the general public.
Following the cancellation of filming for a number of shows with live audiences, the broadcaster said it would introduce special editions of fan favourites.
