Last night (29 March), Holby City broadcast its final episode, having aired on the BBC for 23 years.
Spoilers follow for the finale of Holby City.
The episode saw the passing away of Jac Naylor (Rosie Marcel), who provides the show with a final voiceover from beyond the grave – a heartfelt tribute to the NHS.
Over the credits, a mournful, slowed-down version of the show’s theme tune was heard, while images of the cast and characters from across the years showed on screen.
“I am a horrific sobbing mess,” wrote one viewer. “Holby City has been a comfort show for me my whole childhood, watching it weekly is a tradition i will always treasure. thank you.”
“Nothing to see here folks, I’m totally not absolutely sobbing at the final ever episode of Holby City,” joked another.
“Can i just say the final montage of Holby City & its old school character appearances was heart warming,” wrote someone else.
“Absolutely gutted our holby queen jac naylor had to die. im honestly in bits. what a last episode that was! i’ll miss the show with all my heart!”
The episode can be streamed now on BBC iPlayer.
