A scene from the eighth episode of Series 23 of the BBC One medical drama, ‘Holby City.’

Sometimes keeping secrets buried can be especially difficult, especially in hospitals, whose mission is to maintain life and healthy behavior. For the doctors, nurses and staff of the British medical drama television series, ‘Holby City,’ keeping their own behavior classified isn’t always as easy as keeping their patients’ confidentiality.

‘Holby City,’ which is a spin-off show from the BBC medical drama, ‘Casualty,’ follows the lives of the medical and ancillary staff at the fictional hospital in the title city. The show, which airs new episodes weekly on BBC One, is also being broadcast on the BBC One channel on Filmon TV. (Note that the BBC One channel is only available to viewers in the UK, and international users who have a paid subscription.) The latest episode to air on Filmon can be streamed this afternoon at 2:50-3:30pm local time. It can be watched live, or recorded and watched at a later time.

Episode 8 of Series 23 of ‘Holby City’ was written by Isla Gray, and directed by Suri Krishnamma. The episode shows how far wannabe consultant Dom (David Ames) is willing to go to ensure his path to power. Meanwhile, Max (Jo Martin) buries her head in the sand over her BRCA1 diagnosis, and everyone questions if they can get through to her.

The BBC One channel is notable for offering something of value for everyone with a range of high-quality, popular programming for a modern UK audience. The channel was named Channel of the Year at the 2007 Broadcast Awards. FilmOn is a popular streaming service that enables viewers to watch live and recorded UK and international television shows, movies and music videos in a variety of genres, including news, sports, drama, comedy, horror, lifestyle, shopping, pop, EDM and blues.
