Casualty - BBC
Invited to pitch for the new series by director Andy Hay (Silent Witness, Waking The Dead, Casualty: series 22, ep.1 & 2), his intention was to inject a new filmic style and convince BBC executives to go the extra mile...
Having scored numerous sequences, including the dramatic explosion featured here, the new-look Casualty was on target to break into the 21st Century. But alas, it was not to be and the decision was made to cut certain visual narratives and pull the plug on the music.
