In a Casualty first, Series 26 contains the first ever three-part story centred on gang violence on the Farmead Estate. The series will end with a riot storyline, which was originally conceived prior to the London Riots in August 2011 but these events prompted the team to think of a new direction in which to take the story. The series was meant to end on 21 July 2012, but due to reorganisation of the schedules due to extended coverage of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships on June 30, the finale has been moved back a day to Sunday 22 July 2012 resulting in the last two-part episode being broadcast on Saturday and Sunday (as has happened with two-parters in the past).. }
