...back in the day when it was good, before we started seeing their personal lives and it turned into Hollyoaks: ER Edition. When Charlie wasn't a joke. You used to be able to play a fantastic game called "Guess who's going to die, and how". Anyway, this reminded me of the good old days:

After reading that story of the steamroller, is anyone else thinking of Austin Powers?

Anyway, back to Casualty. I hate it now that its all about the doctors love lives and all that jazz. The acting in it is worse that the reconstructions in "999 emergency" or whatever it was called. Bring back the old style random accidents I say.

It was the way that the deaths were not just predictable, but so much more ridiculous than you expected that made it so funny.

Like a man on the side of a high bridge spraying graffiti whilst precariously balanced.

Nation thinks: He'll fall off and hurt himself on the ground.

What happens: He falls off, becomes impaled through the chest on a rusty spike, which also happens to be holding his face under the water of the river under the bridge and he begins to drown. Then a dog craps on his face, his girlfriend dumps him and his Mum is so distraught she kills herself right in front of him. Then nuclear apocalypse ensues, natch.

Heh.

I used to like to watch Casualty, right before CSI...

I've now come to like ER after having hated it for aaaaaages.

Nah, I just watch loads of Murder She Wrote - I know how to think backwards to the real motive!

Passenger on a steam roller? OK, I give up, someone explain that to me.

Ahh Casualty. I used to watch it every Saturday night. It coincided so well with Big Break, Gladiators and The Generation Game. Then Saturday night TV went all crappy on us with about three or four hundred different lottery programmes and various other rubbish that usually included Ant and Dec.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Second to none...
So far the services you provide are second to none. Keep up the good work.
