Channel 4's 24 Hours In A&E is moving all of its production work over to Leedsas it prepares to film in a new hospital up north.
For nearly a decade, the documentary series has given British viewers an unprecedented look inside the country's busiest local A&E departments as cameras film round the clock for 28 days, 24 hours a day
Now the show will be moving its filming out of London in favour of the north, bringing all of its production to Leeds and teaming up with a new hospital across the way in Nottingham.
The show was first broadcast from King’s College Hospital in south London in 2011 before moving to another London hospital in 2014.

Now the whole 24 Hours in A&E crew is set for a big move up north.
Bosses announced plans to relocate filming from London to the Queen’s Medical Centre teaching hospital in Nottingham this autumn in a move that will permanently relocate the documentary series to West Yorkshire.
The news comes as the Bafta-winning show nears its tenth anniversary.
Dr Keith Girling, medical director at Nottingham University Hospitals, said: “We are incredibly excited that Channel 4 have chosen the Queen’s Medical Centre as the new home of their twice Bafta-nominated and Royal Television Society award-winning 24 Hours In A&E.
“We have one of the biggest major trauma centres in the country, and our emergency department treats over 6,000 patients every day, so there will be plenty of interesting patient and staff stories to watch.
“This will give us a real opportunity to show the dedication, passion and skill of our teams and the care and kindness shown to our emergency patients.
“We know there is a huge amount of pride in what we do, and we will be able to show the world (literally) the amazing individuals that make up Team NUH.”
For the past few years, a greater amount of 24 Hours in A&E's production work has already been taking place from Leeds in step with the channels relocation of its headquarters to the city in 2019.
Now, the final piece of the puzzle is falling into place as production company The Garden move the last bit of behind-the-scenes work out of London and into a new Yorkshire outpost.

Dr Phil Moss, consultant in emergency medicine at St George’s, said: “24 Hours in A&Ehas been an incredible experience for St George’s.
“It has been a privilege to have hosted such a hugely popular documentary series since 2014 which gives the public an inside view into the everyday life of working in a busy south London emergency department.
“Its success wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and support of our brilliant team at St George’s who go above and beyond in their roles every day.
“We have truly become known as being the home of 24 Hours In A&E and while we will be sad to see it go, we are so proud of what it has achieved in its seven-year period at St George’s and we wish it continued success in Nottingham.”

Dishoom announces official opening date for new Leeds restaurant
Clementine Hall
It's the moment we've all been waiting for, Dishoom is coming to Leeds.
The whispers of Dishoom's arrival in Leeds city centre have been going on for a while now, but over the past few weeks it has started to feel very real.
Taking over the beautiful old Flannel's site on the coveted Vicar Lane, signs started to pop up for Dishoom and work was cracking on fast.
Well now, we have an opening date - and we don't have long to wait.
Dishoom Leeds will open on Monday 3 August, with guests being able to enjoy 50% off food during an initial soft-opening period, ahead of the official opening on Friday 14 August.

As with every Dishoom café, the Leeds restaurant begins with a story. This one takes inspiration from the extraordinary true events surrounding the explosion of the SS Fort Stikine in Bombay Dock in April 1944, a wartime disaster that sent gold bars flying across the city.
Legend has it that some of the missing gold was never recovered. Some was discovered embedded in walls and rooftops across Bombay. Other pieces quietly disappeared into the hands of lucky citizens, melted into bangles or hidden away in drawers.
Dishoom Leeds reimagines the fortune made from the gold bars and guests will discover subtle references to the glamorous mid-century details through the interiors and artwork, giving playful nods to Bombay’s golden age.
With all day dining available, guests can dine on the beloved breakfast right through to late evening feasting, with the café will serve a lovingly curated menu of Bombay comfort food inspired by the city’s cafés, grills, street stalls and family kitchens.
Shamil Thakrar, co-founder, also known as Head Babu, at Dishoom, said: “Leeds is a city with tremendous warmth, creativity and character, full of people who know the value of gathering together over good food and drinks. Bringing Dishoom here has long been a dream for us.”
"The story behind this café is rooted in one of Bombay’s most extraordinary moments – the day gold bars fell from the sky after the explosion of Fort Stikine in 1944. Amidst the tragedy and chaos, there were also tales of unexpected fortune, human resilience and hopeful reinvention. We were captivated by this, and we cannot wait to welcome Leeds into the café that pays homage to the heritage of Bombay.”
