The BBC has confirmed the filming of Casualty will move from Bristol to Cardiff
A BBC spokesman said: "We have previously said that moving Casualty will play a significant part in fulfilling our commitment to building a creatively sustainable centre of excellence for drama in Wales and, more broadly, it will accelerate the development of the creative sector there.
"Casualty will now enjoy significant benefits in joining the wider drama production community including Doctor Who, Torchwood, Pobol Y Cwm and The Sarah Jane Adventures."
The BBC said Bristol would remain a "centre for excellence" for natural history and factual programming.

“Casualty is a bristol institution. If you don't agree with me than you are silly billys. I've grown up here, and yes sometimes they can inconvience us, but the pro's easily outway the cons. Seeing charlie walking down the street was a real thrill, seeing the casualty vans parked down the road , brilliant. Forget the storylines, its all about trying to work out where the locations are. Casualty will be sorely missed by true bristolians. The grass isn't always greener...and you don't know what you've lost until its gone. RIP casualty”

“Let the people of Wales pay for Policing location filming/televising, plus the inconvenience of road closures. A main arterial road closure in Fishponds for 3 hours led to approx,. 10 seconds viewing”
