Go To

1* CreatorBacklash: Creator/MartinFreeman is rather embarrassed about his pre-fame appearance, as shown on ''Series/YouHaveBeenWatching''.
2* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The episode due to air on 2 May 2020 was skipped and replaced by the following one because it involved a contagion that required everyone to wear hazmat suits... rather too similar to the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]]. It was eventually aired four months later.
3** The episode due to air on 16 October 2021, which involved a knife attack, was delayed for two weeks following the murder, the day before, of the Conservative MP Sir David Amess.
4* IAmNotSpock: This applies to Michael French (aka Nick Jordan), Derek Thompson (aka Charlie Fairhead, who is probably ''the'' iconic character of the show), Creator/WillSharpe (Yuki), Sunetra Sarker (Zoe) and the anonymous blonde actress who plays Kath (identity of actress is unknown for now).
5* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Only Series 1-3 have been released on DVD to celebrate the show's twentieth anniversary with no plans for any more despite petitions.
6* TheOtherDarrin: Seemed to be a thing with children of staff. Happened to Tally once, although in hindsight this was probably for the better. Louis is by far the worst offender, having been played by about four different actors.
7* ProductionPosse: After three seasons successfully reviving ''Series/DoctorWho'' (creatively, if not commercially), that series' script editor Creator/AndrewCartmel was headhunted for the same position on ''Casualty'', and brought with him a host of ''Doctor Who'' writers, from both the series and the concurrent ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'' books.
8* RecastAsARegular: Creator/MelanieHill played a OneShotCharacter way back in 1993; come 2024, she joined the series as Siobhan [=McKenzie=], a regular character.
9* SendingStuffToSaveTheShow: Slightly subverted, rather more a case of {{Fandom}} to get incidental characters into [[CharacterisationMarchesOn full-time characters]].
10* ThrowItIn: The extras' dialogue is ad-libbed, apparently.
