Stephen Williams MP has today spoken out against any plans the BBC might have regarding the relocation of the drama series Casualty. The series, which has been filmed in Bristol since it aired for the first time 21 years ago, is under threat as the BBC are undergoing major restructuring.

"I have been a fan of Casualty since the very first series and have always enjoyed seeing different parts of Bristol feature in the show.

"It would be dreadful if it moved out of Wales or anywhere else.

"The series is important for nurturing Bristol talent, both in acting and in television production, and is also important for the local economy. The show does go to some great lengths to use Bristol and the South West accents and it is important the BBC reflects regional diversity. I will be seeking a meeting with the BBC about not just the future of Casualty, but also the BBC's departments at Whiteladies Road."
