Here’s a little outtake from tomorrow night’s ep of Casualty - one of our supporting artistes looked like John Cleese so I asked him to do *this* in the back of a shot...
Thank you for all your responses to tonight’s Casualty. We made it as a tribute to the extraordinary heroes of the NHS. And we shot it under strict social distancing measures. Hope you didn’t notice. Stay home. Save lives. Wear a mask. Protect the NHS. X
I know I’ve been banging on about this for months, but the Casualty improvised episode I directed is on BBC1 tonight @ 20:10 and I really hope you can watch. Even if you watch the footie, please catch up on iPlayer. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.
BBC STUDIOS Continuing Drama Series urgently needs talent with theatre experience in stage management, costume, make up and art department to work on shows like Casualty and Doctors. If you work in theatre and are interested, please email Hannah.Williams05

Don’t understand the negativity for BBC’s

. I watched all 4eps in iPlayer and adored it. I think people misunderstand what it’s saying. Life isn’t big drama, there is so much more in the details. Nicola Walker and Sean been were stellar. Loved it.
Tonight I am stripped of my European citizenship against my wishes... tonight I am ashamed to be British and proud to be European and I always will be

Thank you for all the lovely comments about
#Casualty
tonight. We wanted to make it feel as real as possible. When we were shooting one scene in reception, I overheard a supporting artiste say “is this real…?” 💙
If you think Casualty looks a different tonight, that’s because we shot it in a wider aspect ratio with different lenses. I tried to shoot it like a David Fincher movie!
Casualty has won another BAFTA tonight, marking its third win in the last 4 years. I'm incredibly proud to have directed episodes for each of these wins. The entire team at Roath Lock, including the crew, actors, and post-production team, truly are the best.

I had to interview John Travolta once and I accidentally burped in his face. Also, I inadvertent held Oliver Stone’s hand throughout a film premier interview. There are many more...
RIP The Great Michael Pickwoad. An amazing designer and a warm and gentle soul. Loved working with him on Doctor Who. Such a huge talent. Always enjoyed his stories. He will be sadly missed. Godspeed.
I’m self-employed, with a family to support and no savings, and somehow expected to live off £94 a week whilst employed workers will receive £2500 a month?

Very proud to have directed the 100th episode of Death In Paradise - this Sunday, BBC1 at 2100. Couldn't have done it without a team of superstars. Hope you can watch! x
FYI There were only two VFX shots in tonight’s
#Casualty
. The rest we shot with social distancing. I dropped the birth one shot scene on the cast and crew as a challenge. They did not let me down. They never do! X
Hope you can watch next week’s Casualty, a paramedic special that is a real rollercoaster ride. The hardest hitting episode I’ve ever directed and to give it a naturalistic feel the actors improvised all their dialogue. It’s an absolute cracker.
Murder and Bingo! The second episode of Death In Paradise I directed is on BBC1 tonight at 9pm, featuring the wonderful Hayley Mills. Really hope you can watch.
Actors: if you reach out to a director and ask them to watch your stuff... and they take the time to do that and give feedback, have the common courtesy to ping a quick thank you back? I've had several recently and it's not good manners.
Heartbreaking news. Like a lot of people in the industry, Doctors was my first proper TV job. I learnt so much from my time in Brum and my thoughts go out to those still working there. X
RIP Bobby Ball. We worked together on a Christmas episode of Casualty back in 2012. He was one of my childhood heroes and an absolute joy to work with. He will be missed. X
Trailer for this Saturday’s landmark episode. We made it to honour the extraordinary heroes of the NHS and frontline workers. I really hope you can watch.
Lots of people missed seeing Harry in tonight’s episode. We actually shot a scene with him but there was so much going on, we didn’t have time to keep it in!
#DeathInParadise
Actors: polite request - please take the time to build up a bit of rapport before asking if I’ll watch reels cold. I talk about this in the workshops. Much appreciated 👍🏻
Miss Scarlet and the Duke Season 3 finally starts tonight in the UK at 9pm on Alibi. Really proud to have directed episodes 1, 2, 5 and 6 from this series.
Casualty wins the Soap and Continuing Drama award! "A new perspective from a long-established show,” said the judges, "this was powerful work supremely well-realised." Congratulations to the

Insanely proud our second Casualty improv episode has been selected as one of the four submissions for a BAFTA this year, and we have made it onto the shortlist! Both the COVID special and the first paramedic improv episode were winners. Can we make it three in a row?

. Speechless at how good it was. Best Brit drama in years. Electrifying, uncompromising, authentic drama. Give Martin Freeman all the awards now. Scripts phenomenal, top work
@tonyshoey
. Congrats to all involved. Floored.
Super proud Dad moment. My 13yo daughter’s poem about standing up and having a voice it to be published in a book that will remain in the National Archives of the British Library forever. Couldn’t love her any more than I do right now. X
