ALL SAINTS (TV SERIES)

'''All Saints''' is a popular medical drama on Australian television. It airs on Channel Seven and debuted on 24 February, 1998. The show also began being aired in the United Kingdom on the BBC in the afternoon in August 2007. The series is set in fictional Sydney suburban hospital ''All Saints General Western Hospital'' and stories originally focused on the lives of the nurses of Ward 17, which was also known as the "garbage ward", because it took the overflow of patients. In 2004, after a year of low television ratings, producers drastically overhauled the series, shifting focus from Ward 17 to the emergency room. A new set was established and many new characters introduced.
The external shots (sweeping views of the skyline and hospital) are filmed at the Concord Repatriation General Hospital. Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital in Sydney has also been used for external filming and for some interior locations such as the operating theatres.
Focusing on the trials and tribulations of the hospital staff and patients, the series has won numerous awards and is constantly praised by critics and viewers alike. The show has been listed on the top ten most-viewed shows each week in ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', averaging approximately 1.4 million viewers.
Judith McGrath, who plays nurse Yvonne 'Von' Ryan, is the show's only remaining original cast member.
