Does anyone remember....

[Bryan]

a documentary series on the BBC called Children's hospital?

I've been trying to tell my friends about it today but nowhere on the internet is there anything about it so they think i'm making up! And now I'm even starting to think I'm loosing the plot!!!!

Please someone save me from insanity, did this show exist!?!?!?!

[DaVeyWaVey]

Are you sure you don't mean Animal Hospital?

Or there was a daytime show on the BBC years ago called City Hospital.

[Bryan]

no it was neither of them! It was a show set in a children's hospital, like a real fly on the wall show, with all the sick kids.

we got talking about it as were on about sick kids who die of lukemia and stuff, as there was this little black boy on there, such a cute kid who was in every episode, and then at the end of one of the episodes he died, and i was so upset from it, and then when i went into school the next day loads of the kids in my class had seen it and we were so upset,

this would have been primary school so mid-late nineties probably!

[Bryan]

i also seem to remember Andrew Sachs narrating it! but it doesn't mention it on his wikipedia or IMDB!!!!

[Jessie Wallace]

Do you mean the one called Children's Ward?

No your right im sure this did exist, I very briefly remember it

edit: yeah it was Children's Ward

[Chloe O'brien]

I remember something with Nick Knowles on bbc1 around 10am around eight or nine years ago when Marley was a baby. I used to watch it when I wasn't at college.

[Abbie]

I remember it! :D cant remember what it was called but yeah a show where each week we would see ill children in hospital

[Chloe O'brien]

The one I remember was on weekday Monday to Friday with Nick and Yvette feilding.

[thestud2k7]

Yvette feilding hosted city hosptial in 1999

i hope this helps

[Chloe O'brien]

Yeah that would be right because Marley was born late 1998 and I was on maternity leave and I can remember watching it.

[Bryan]

no it wasn't Chidren's Ward or City Hospital.

I swear I've searched everywhere on the internet and there's no sign of this show! Maybe I watched it in another lifetime :ninja:

[Trinity]

I have found a book of the show - but nothing of the show itself - how bizarre!

And the show is mentioned in this telegraph article from 2001

I remember a series which showed the children's ward of Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, that was shown in the afternoonbut I can't remember when for certain. I would suggest about 5-6 years ago.Alder Hey Children Hospital is a children's hospital in West Derby, Liverpool. It is run by the Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust as part of the National Health Service in England. The hospital forms a key part of the medical education at the University of Liverpool's Medical School curriculum.


From Wiki:
The hospital was founded in 1914 and is one of the largest children's hospitals in Europe. The hospital acquired the prefix 'Royal' in 1985 and became an NHS hospital trust in 1991. It currently employs about 2,400 staff and treats over 200,000 children each year.

During the 1990s it was featured in the BBC television series 'Children's Hospital'

I was thinking about Children's Ward until I read Perdita's post. I do remember Children's Hospital. It was on the BBC I think in the early evening and was either Alder Hey or Jimmy's in Leeds.

[Abbie]

Yeah I think it was called something like 'childrens hospital'

[thestud2k7]
