All Saints is the most popular drama on Australian television, airing on Channel Seven. It debuted on 24th February, 1998. 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 the show was radically revamped with the setting shifted to the emergency room and several new characters introduced.
The external shots (the sweeping shots 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.
