Casualty confirms Christmas special with "format-breaking" episode
The show will be on a short break after ending season 39 with a double-header tonight.
Casualty is set for a short break from our screens after ending its most recent run – but fans already have the next instalment to look forward to thanks to a tease for the upcoming Christmas special.
The long-running BBC One medical drama has confirmed that it will be back for a "format-breaking" festive episode in December, revealing the news to viewers with a specially-filmed teaser trailer at the end of this evening's finale.
The cryptic 49-second clip is available to view in full on the BBC website.
Not much has been revealed about what fans can expect in the episode, but a press release issued by the BBC teases that "the Christmas special will celebrate the gift of giving and will be told in an innovative, format-breaking way". Certainly sounds intriguing!
