Why has Holby City been cancelled?
While the Covid pandemic wasn't enough for production to be halted - as filming continued amid lockdown measures - TV bosses still made the decision to cancel Holby City.
A stalwart for BBC audiences, Holby City was cancelled in a bid "to reshape the BBC's drama slate to better reflect, represent and serve all parts of the country", according to a statement released by the broadcaster.
The statement also read: "We are incredibly proud of Holby City but it’s with great sadness that we are announcing that after 23 years, the show will end on screen in March of next year."
Final scenes were filmed back in December 2021.
What has the cast said about the end of Holby City?
As the end looms, some Holby City stars have broken their silence.
Actress Rosie Marcel has teased a "spectacular" ending to the show when its cancellation was announced.
She said: "What we have planned is really spectacular, the ending is a massive nod to the NHS and to everyone making this show.
"We have nearly 300 people here who are losing their jobs, yet we're all soldiering on and pulling out the stops."
"We could have just given up and gone 'Sod this', but we're not."
Rosie added: "Just wait and see what we can do."
Some former stars were also adamant on saying their goodbyes with Holby City, paying tribute to an iconic show through social media.
Holby star James Anderson, who played on-off character Oliver Valentine, took to Twitter to pay his respects in December 2021.
He wrote: "Proud to have served alongside many of you. So grateful.
"I hope your last hours are full of that same love that bore you and filled our hearts for so many years."
Niamh McGrady, aka Mary-Claire Carter, followed up to share her love with the "Holby family today and always", seven years after her exit.
She remembered: "I cried for days when I left Holby City in 2015.
