Seven huge Casualty spoilers as BBC airs first ever improvised episode this week
CASUALTY is set to step into a territory it never has done before in it’s upcoming episode.
The show will broadcast it’s very first improvised episode with no specific dialogue written for the show but the actors instead saying what they feel the true feelings of their characters are.
This will be Casualty’s first ever improvised episode, and is set to air this weekend (December 10) on BBC One and iPlayer.
It will break from the series’ traditional scripted format, focusing on paramedics Jan and Sah, as well as their co-workers Iain and Teddy as they’re pushed to breaking point.
The episode follows the paramedics across four days and shows the pressure and obstacles they are faced with on busy shifts.
Jan arrives back from holiday with a spring in her step, but is ground down over the course of her shift and makes a terrible mistake.
Teddy’s (Milo Clarke) confidence is undermined on a difficult call out, and Iain (Michael Stevenson) and Sah both battle with intensely stressful situations.
Take a closer look at the seven BIGGEST moments set to happen during the special broadcast…
1. Jan is tested
Jan has enjoyed a short break from her role as she continues to struggle but upon her return, her good mood is soon tested when one of the regulars, Robbie, is found drunk and is refusing to co-operate and return to the ED.
Wading through her frustrations, she convinves Robbie to get into the ambulance along with Teddy and the next emergency call soon comes rushing in.
Jan and Teddy are alerted to a woman suffering from an anaphylactic shock as a result of her nut allergy.
2. Jan and Sah face serious frustrations
Jan and Sah face difficulties when trying to attend to emergencies after consistently becoming stuck in the ambulance queue.
They find themselves unable to respond to urgent calls and Sah feels an increased frustration after being re-directed from one emergency to another, only to become stuck once again.
Things develop further when the pair make their way to a possible stroke but are left dumbfounded upon realising the caller simply wanted to see if the paramedics could do a food shop for her.
Realising they turned down other possible emergencies for that, they rush off to a cardiac arrest they could not get to before but discover that it is too late.
The man sadly dies and Jan is left dealing with his wife’s grief.

Teddy finds himself under immense pressure when a female patient stops breathing in the back of the ambulance.
A terrified Teddy manages to step up and perform a surgical airway which ultimately saves the girl’s life but he is left questioning himself afterwards.

However, he soon announces that his wife sadly passed away two days ago.
5. Teddy confides in Iain
