Casualty (series 4)

All

Yes, so as not to violate copyright laws.

The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the characters of Casualty series four). It illustrates a single educational article about the series episode the characters starred in. It is virtually impossible to accurately describe the characters for a sufficient picture in one's mind with mere words, so the image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.

As a promotional (nonfree) image, the image is not replaceable by free content; the copyright holders have not released similar images into public domain or allowed free use, and any other screenshot would be similarly copyrighted. The image depicts the characters as they were in 1989. Due to ageing, and the fact that only Thompson is still contracted to the show, it is impossible for the image to be reproduced. Were any free images of the actors to be released, they would not be true to the original, costumed characters, and would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

Use will not affect the value of the original work that has been published elsewhere on the Internet or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the video.
