Part One
The new series of the popular hospital drama begins with a double episode.
It's the first day in Holby City ED for two new F2 doctors, Toby De Silva and Ruth Winters. They are given a tour of the department by a rather jaded Charlie and, while Ruth oozes confidence, poor Toby manages to mess up nearly every job he's given, including letting an overdose victim go without treatment.
As a result, a despairing Maggie sends Toby out with Dixie, but as they drive past a coach parked outside a row of shops, there's a massive explosion. They both respond to the emergency and run to help, and begin to assess the chaotic situation.
For Toby, this first day at Holby City is a baptism of fire. His emotions range from feeling that his career as a doctor is over before it started, as a patient dies in his care, through to the elation of saving a little girl's life, re-affirming his faith in himself as a member of the medical profession.
Toby De Silva is played by Matthew Needham, Ruth Winters by Georgia Taylor, Charlie by Derek Thompson, Maggie by Susan Cookson and Dixie by Jane Hazlegrove.
Part Two
The day is now seen through the eyes of Charlie Fairhead in the conclusion of this double episode of the hospital drama. Less than thrilled to find out he has to show two new F2 doctors around the department, Charlie is also disillusioned at his 35 years in nursing.
On his way home after his shift, Charlie receives a call from Tess informing him that a major incident has been declared. He heads to the bomb site and gets to work – helping the walking wounded and assessing the situation on the ground. When he heads back to ED, he's faced with chaos. There are not enough staff, there's no surgical lead and they have had to create a temporary mortuary.
Things become worse as the ED is evacuated due to an unattended bag. As everyone else leaves the building, Charlie stays behind and tries to convince one of the bombers, an animal rights activist, to receive critical treatment. He also attempts to convince another activist to give himself up.
Charlie is played by Derek Thompson and Tess by Suzanne Packer.
