I asked the stars of Casualty what to watch after 'explosive' 40th anniversary special episodes — and their unexpected answer is absolute genius

Casualty fans, buckle up: two special episodes for its landmark 40th anniversary are heading to BBC and BBC iPlayer from September 5th.

If dealing with lots of ill people on a daily basis is bad enough, this new double-bill steps the drama up to levels we haven't seen in decades.

Think The Pitt , if HBO Max decided to set it in South West England.

As you can tell from the below trailer our episodes are centered on a massive explosion strikes near the Clifton Suspension Bridge, plunging the city of Wyvern, and the hospital, into immediate chaos.

In the back of an ambulance, Stevie Nash (Elinor Lawless) and clinical lead Flynn Byron (Olly Rix) are caught in a race against time.

Meanwhile, Dylan Keogh (William Beck) must lead the emergency department through its darkest hour... including facing his own personal tragedy.

Understandably, the 40th anniversary of Casualty is going to be a pretty intense watch.

In fact, it could be so intense that you'll likely want to decompress by streaming something that's the polar opposite completely answer.

Luckily enough, I asked the Casualty cast for their ideas — and how they got through the on-set stress themselves — and the suggestions are genius. 'I've just finished Love Island' "I've just finished Love Island ... though I'm not sure if I want everyone knowing," Melanie Hill tells me.

I hope she forgives me for including this, but it's such an unexpectedly fantastic choice that it actually makes complete sense.

Reality TV is often dubbed 'trash viewing,' treated as second-rate viewing because it's considered to be low-brow.
