Going hundreds of miles against the clock, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |

Lower the winch. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
From fields and forests, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
to cliffs and country roads, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
we'll be right at the heart of the action... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
with police fighting crime... | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
I've got suspicions that there might be cannabis being used. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |

We're there as the emergency services pull together | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
to pick up, patch up, and protect the public. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
This is Countryside 999. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Coming up... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
In Worcestershire, a country copper's on a drugs crackdown. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
Have you got any cannabis on you? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Search and Rescue scramble to save a casualty in cardiac arrest | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
on the Isle of Skye. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
His heart stopped. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
He's required CPR and defibrillation, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
so electronic shocks to restart his heart. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
AMBULANCE SIREN BLARES | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
And on the Isle of Man, an elderly woman has had a nasty fall. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Can you wiggle your foot? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
Can you move your food backward and forward like that for me? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Well, I... | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
-Don't do it if it hurts you. -No, no, no, I can't do it. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
In Worcestershire... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
Tenbury Wells. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
A traditional English market town. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Surrounded by acres of unspoilt farming country. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
It's a close-knit community of around 3,000 people. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Responsible for keeping that community safe... | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
..is West Mercia Police. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
PC Nick Prosser is the only bobby based in Tenbury full time. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
I love the countryside. I could never leave the countryside, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
I love policing here. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
I like the camaraderie with the community. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
They know who I am, you know, they'll quite often drop by, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
knock on the door, just to say hello and have a cup of tea, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
and I like that. You don't get that in the city. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
But even in peaceful Tenbury... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
..there are illegal drugs. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
POLICE SIREN BLARES | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-BEEPING -Got some, um, cannabis here. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
We'll just carry on a quick search of the vehicle. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
Nick has received information about class-A drug use in the area, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
so he's planning a special mission. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Going to ask you to be sort of the search teams | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
when we walk into the pubs. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Tonight, these officers will search local pubs for drugs. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Recently, Friday evenings have seen... | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
a build-up of younger people coming out into Tenbury, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
which is good to see, it's good for local businesses, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
brings people into town, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
but it's also brought in a couple of the dealers. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Off the back of a number of members of the public giving us | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
information on drugs use and supply, | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
we just want to get a message across to the community that | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
we're taking the information they've given to us seriously | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
and we're taking the problem of drugs supply and use | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
seriously here at Tenbury. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
We're just doing some walk-throughs of some of the local pubs, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
supported by PC Hunting. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
And PC Ade Hunting has a secret weapon. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
I'm acting as a dog handler. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
The dog will... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
screen the area round people, essentially, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
and if there's sort of a drug scent of interest, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
she'll indicate on the person. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
And then we will then decide | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
what to do from there, whether to speak to them and question them | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
and perhaps conduct a search. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
With Nick are three PCs and two special constables. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Just because of the safety aspect | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
and people being under the influence of alcohol, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
we just need to have enough bobbies to be able to make sure | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
that the searches and the operation is carried out safely... | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
..and everybody goes home in one piece. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
We're en route now, so we're going to be there in less than a minute. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
We'll park up. Then we'll... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
stick our lids on and walk out into town. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
You can already see we're getting plenty of looks at us. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
They're not used to seeing this many police cars round here. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
Be interesting to see what sort of response we get | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
when we walk into the local pubs. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Sniffer dog Poppy is prepped for action too. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
I'll just put her harness on. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:05 | |
Good girl. Wait there, then. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Sit. Sit. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
She is a very good dog, actually. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
She's got a very good nose and it's very useful in this sort of work. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
If only she could talk | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
and drive a car. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
The officers hit the pubs on Tenbury's main street first. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
Go and have a word with them, make sure everything's OK, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
and then hopefully reassure the public | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
that, you know, the police are about | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
and we take a hard line on drugs. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
While some enter through one door... | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
It's the fuzz! | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
Come on, then. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
..Poppy and PC Hunting take the side entrance. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Come on, then, Pops. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
-Hello, sir. How you doing? All right? -Yeah, not too bad. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-Just walking through the local pubs with the dog. -Checking for... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Checking for various things, really. The dog will have just a bit of a... | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-Bit of a sniff! -..sniff at people, that's right. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-You having a good evening? -Yeah, not too bad. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
-All right. You take care. -All right. -Come on, then. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
Nothing out of the ordinary here. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
The dog had a walk around a few people. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Not too many in the pub at that moment in time | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
and no obvious indications. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
That was good in a way, that we didn't find anything. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
We'll just move on to walk through the next pub now. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
But news travels fast. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
We did notice a couple of people who were straight on their phone | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
as soon as we walked out so need to try and get up and down the street | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
and round the pubs as quickly as we can. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Another pub across the road is a bit busier. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
Hello. Good evening. How you doing? All right? | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
-Try not to stroke the dog. -Something we do from time to time. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
But here, they meet with some resistance. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
We're just doing reassurance patrols in Tenbury and in the town | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
cos people are coming to us saying there's a lot of drug use going on. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
Drug use? Are you having a laugh? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
We're trying to do something about it and show reassurance. We're just doing our job. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
The unspoilt Isle of Man. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
100 miles of coastline, crags and sheltered coves. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:52 | |
This island's home to around 85,000 people. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
It's a lovely spot to retire to, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
with 21% of the island's residents of pension age. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
The Isle of Man Ambulance Service is a lifeline for the population, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
especially those in their later years. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
What we'll do, then, we'll put you on the ambulance | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
and we'll pop you down to Nobles | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
to get this pain sorted out for you, all right? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Paramedic Jason Gaunt is based at the Port Erin station | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
in the south of the island. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
I've worked on the Isle of Man Ambulance Service | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
for approximately seven years now. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
I like the variety of it. You never know what you're going to get. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
You can go to sort of anything, you know? | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
You get a call, you never know what you're going to. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
Received. Thank you. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
An emergency call has come in from a casualty in nearby Port Erin. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
Alpha 126. We are mobile. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
Today, Jason's working with technician Danielle Sims. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
I think it's an 80-something-year-old female | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
that's fallen in the kitchen, with a possible fractured ankle. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
It's only a couple of minutes away. It's not far away. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
Alpha 126 on scene. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Hello? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Hello, my love. It's ambulance service. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Where are you? Are you on the floor still? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
Hello. I'm Jason. This is Danielle. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-It's standing out. -Right. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
I was over there and I stepped down, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
and instead of putting my foot on the slat, I went sideways. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
You've gone over on your ankle, have you? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-You see, that's what's happened. -Right. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Isabel fell in her kitchen and hasn't been able to get up. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
Her husband Donald called for help. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Can you wiggle your foot? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:16 | |
Can you move your foot backward and forward like that for me? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-I can't do that. -You can't do it. Can you not do it at all? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-Well, I... -Don't do it if it hurts. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-No, no, no. I can't do it. -Right. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
Can't always tell if they're fractured so we'll pop it | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
in a little splint, a little box splint, all right? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
We'll pop you up the hospital, get them have a look. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
They might need to X-ray it. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Jason's concerned it may be fractured. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
It was a little bit swollen, the ankle was. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
A little bit bruised on the inside. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
That's where she was complaining of the pain. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Just going to pop this little splint round it | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
and if you have fractured it, it'll give it a little bit of support. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Just used the simple box splint on the lady. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
They're easy to apply. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
They're normally quite safe to put on and everything. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
You stay where you are. We're going to bring a little chair in | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
and we're going to try and get you on the chair | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
and you try and push up. After three. One, two, three. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
That's it. All your weight on your good leg. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
And then swing your bum round and we'll get you in that little chair. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
That's it. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Now with your good leg, push yourself back. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
Let me guide your feet where they're to go. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
That's it. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:22 | |
Just keep that arm nice and still. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:30 | |
We're just going to do your blood pressure. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
So is your pain quite tolerable? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Are you able to cope with your pain or do you want any pain relief? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-No, no. -It's comfortable, is it? -It is comfortable. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
With Isabel refusing pain relief, they set off for Nobles Hospital. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
It's 15 miles of winding roads to Douglas, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
the island's largest town. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
While he monitors Isabel's condition, | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Jason keeps her chatting. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
What did you used to do for a living, then? In your younger days? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Did you work or anything? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
On a farm! | 0:13:10 | 0:13:11 | |
Something in common, then. I used to work on a farm, years ago. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
It is nice to talk to patients. You find so much about them, really. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Their life story, where they've worked and what they've done, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
about their families, so it's always a pleasure meeting these people. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
You do pick up so many lovely stories. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
In 30 minutes, they arrive. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
And you, my love. It's been very nice. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
All right, love. I'm coming in with you, don't worry. I'm not going yet. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
You can't get rid of me that easy. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
After three. One, two, three. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
There you go, my love. How's that? It's nice to have met you. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-It was nice. -Fingers crossed you've not broken it. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
All right? You stay safe. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
All right, love. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:04 | |
-So it's the left foot here, yes? -That's the one. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
That's the one. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
Try to keep as still as you possibly can, my dear. I know it's sore. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
Fantastic. That's the first one done. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Radiographer Gerard takes multiple x-rays of Isabel's ankle | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
to see if it's fractured. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
Well done. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
She remembers a time when the island's hospitals | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
weren't so hi-tech. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
I remember going to the old Nobles Hospital | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
and wasn't like going here now. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
It was sort of small and all this is big now. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
When we were kids, if you'd fallen, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
you just couldn't go and tell your mother you'd done it | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
because she wouldn't listen to you. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
She'd say, "Well, it's your own fault, you see?" | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
That's the way we were brought up. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
Isabel, it seems, has inherited that no-nonsense attitude. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
The verdict's in and it's no minor injury. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
I'm afraid I've got bad news for you. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
It looks like you've fractured your ankle in two different places. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Well, I thought as much when it happened, that it was broken, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
so it's nothing really new to me. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
It's slightly displaced. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
I mean, it's out of place | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
so what I'm going to do is to speak to the orthopaedic doctors | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
to have a look at the X-ray | 0:15:30 | 0:15:31 | |
and tell me what should be the management plan, OK? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Thank you. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
Thank you. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
With any luck, it will require just a simple cast. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
He said that I could sleep here tonight. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
So it'll get all sorted out now. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
As I say, I'm in the right place anyway. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
It's the way I look at it. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
No, I think I'm in the safest place. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
In the Worcestershire town of Tenbury... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
..the officers of West Mercia police | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
are conducting an anti-drugs operation | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
with the help of sniffer dog Poppy. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
They've just arrived at the second pub of the evening. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
We're just doing reassurance patrols in Tenbury | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
because people are coming to us saying | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
there's a lot of drug use going on and a lot of supply. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
Drug use! Are you having a laugh? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
We're just trying to do something about it. Just doing our job. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
Some of the customers fear their local's being targeted. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
PC Nick Prosser reassures them. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
-OK. We're just doing our job. -OK. I beg your pardon. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
-All right. No probs. -OK, I'm sorry. -No probs. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
Poppy's given the all clear on the drugs front. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
What we're going to do is we're going to go back to the car | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
and just add another pub on the list. One at the top of the town. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
We got a little bit of hostility in the one pub | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
but our main purpose, if you like, is to reassure people | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
that we're about and that's exactly what we've done tonight. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
Their next pub is up town. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
It's where, on Saturday nights, you get all the partygoers. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:33 | |
It's a little lively. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
We'll crack on. We'll see what we've got. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Poppy and dog handler PC Ade Hunting do a sweep. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
And it's not long before Poppy takes an interest in someone. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
Just searching around the local pubs, OK? | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
The dog's indicated on you | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
that she's quite interested in smells around your... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Have you got anything on you? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
Have you been around any controlled drugs? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
Little bit of weed. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
I'm PC Nick Prosser, all right, from Tenbury police station, all right? | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
I'm detaining you at the moment | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
under Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
The reasons for that is because a passive drugs dog has indicated | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
by the side of you that they're very interested in your pocket, OK? | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
For those reasons, you're just detained, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
just the purposes of the search, OK? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
We'll take you somewhere a little bit more private | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
and we'll just have a chat about what you've disclosed to us | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-is in your pocket. Is that all right? -Yeah, that's fine. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:42 | |
The man's admitted to carrying a small amount of cannabis. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
The dog walked past a gentleman sat at the bar | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
and basically did a double take, went back and checked | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
and she was quite positive in what she was trying to tell me, | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
so we had a chat with the gentleman, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
he disclosed he had some controlled drugs on him | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
and Nick's just talking to him now. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
Listen, we've got a job to do, all right? I'm not judging you. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
I appreciate your honesty. Thanks very much for that. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
I just rewarded the dog there | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
because I saw that Nick had got some drugs there | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
so I was able to reward her | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
so that she knows she's done a good job, basically. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
In this case, I've given her her ball. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
You happy to come down to the station next week | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
and we'll just have a quick chat about that? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
No, that's cool. We can do that. That's not an issue. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Just seized a very small amount of cannabis. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
It's properly only £5-6 worth. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
There's not a great deal, but it's a positive. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
It shows she knows what she's doing. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
It is a good result and we'll seize that and interview him next week. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
We've got his details now. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
It's just sending out a great message. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
We've obviously got a positive. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
So it's a good result. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
They haven't found any class-A drugs, | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
but the operation sent out an important message. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
It's only a small amount, | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
but at least everybody in Tenbury's going to know | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
we've been around with the drugs dog | 0:20:17 | 0:20:18 | |
and that we've seized a little bit of cannabis - | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
it'll soon be round the town. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
It'll probably go a little quiet, I would suggest, the next few weeks, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
possibly leading up to Christmas. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
From Scotland's highest peaks... | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
..to Northern Ireland... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:53 | |
..and the Lake District. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Every day, HMS Gannet scrambles its Search and Rescue helicopters | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
in order to save lives in some of Britain's most remote locations. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
Today, a call's come in. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
The crew must transport a critically ill patient to Glasgow. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
The driver of a coach tour visiting the island | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
has had a cardiac arrest behind the wheel, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
with 40 tourists on board. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Flying today are pilots James Bullock and NV Hammond... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
..winchman paramedic Taff Ashman and observer Richie Lightfoot. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
From their base in Prestwick, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
they're flying 130 miles to Broadford on the Isle of Skye. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
But first, they have to pick up | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
a specialist emergency medical retrieval team from Glasgow. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
The retrieval team includes consultant doctor Neil McMahon, | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
who'll supervise the casualty's transfer. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
His heart stopped. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
He's required CPR and defibrillation, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
so electric shocks to restart his heart. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
And he's now... His heart is beating and he is breathing, | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
but he's deeply unconscious as a result of that cardiac arrest, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
so he needs his airway secured | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
and he needs transferred to a specialist cardiology centre, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
which will be the Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
And our job is to get him there | 0:23:16 | 0:23:17 | |
in the best physiological state possible. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
Bear right. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
-You are now...feet wet. -Roger. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
With only 25 beds, the hospital on the Isle of Skye | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
has limited resources for specialist cardiac treatment. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Relatively common, obviously, cardiac arrest. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
There's at least one in the west of Scotland every day. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
And, obviously, if that happens close to a metropolitan hospital, | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
a city centre - Glasgow, for example - | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
then you'll be treated by local staff and paramedics | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
first of all, and then the hospital staff. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
But because remote and rural places don't have intensive care units | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
and easy access to cardiac catheterisation labs, etc, | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
then, actually, transport for them becomes... | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
a transfer becomes more of a challenge and more important. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
The crew sets course for Skye. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
There's concern about the weather. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
But this being Scotland, it can change in an instant. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
Pilots Bullock and Hammond | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
familiarise themselves with the landmarks. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
An hour after leaving Glasgow, | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
Gannet lands near the hospital on Skye. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Over two and a half hours ago, | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
66-year-old Terence's heart had stopped beating entirely. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
To keep this guy stable during the flight, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
he's effectively going to be put in an induced coma. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
So he's being kept unconscious and he's on a ventilator, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:49 | |
so the machine is breathing for him. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
And he's obviously going to be wired up to a defib monitor throughout. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
Terence's condition is life-threatening. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
They need to get him to the chopper now. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
In Worcestershire... | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
..PC Nick Prosser of West Mercia Police | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
is back on his beat in the town of Tenbury. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
Nick believes there's been a recent increase | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
in illegal drug use in town, and he's cracking down on it. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
Seized a very small amount of cannabis. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
It's probably only £5, £6 worth there. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
There's not a great deal, but it's a positive, it is a good result, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
and we'll seize that and interview him next week. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
We'll get his details now. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
It's nearly 11pm. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Thursday night in this rural market town. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
Things look quiet. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Until Nick spies something suspicious. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
Oh, he HAS shot off. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
It's just a small little motorbike that's left an address | 0:27:15 | 0:27:21 | |
where we believe that cannabis might be being sold from, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
so we're just going to have a... | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
a chat with this guy in a minute, pull him over. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
We followed the motorbike, did a check on the registration, | 0:27:36 | 0:27:41 | |
and it came back to an individual | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
who I had my suspicions about that might be using cannabis. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
He indicates to the rider to pull over. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
Fella, do you want to pull over on the petrol station? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
Pull over on the petrol station. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Thank you, 1189 to move and check, Teme Street, Tenbury. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
-I do know your mate that you've just been to. -Yeah. -OK? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
And the reason why I'm stopping you, I've got suspicions | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
that there might be cannabis being used at that address. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
-OK, and you've just come from there, haven't you? -Yeah. -OK. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
So for that reason, at the moment, | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
you're detained under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, all right? | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
-So for the purposes of a search, do you understand that? -Yeah. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
What you need to know is who I am, all right? | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
I'm PC 1189, Nick Prosser. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
I'm attached to Tenbury Police Station, | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
one of the local bobbies here. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:47 | |
-Yeah. -All right? | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
Are you happy with why I'm detaining you at the moment? | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
You've just come from an address | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
where I believe drugs are being used from. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
-Yeah, that's fine. -Have you got any cannabis on you? | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
-I do, yeah. -You have got some on you? OK. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
-How much have you got on you? -Just one... | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
-Just a gram? -Yeah... Well, not even that. -OK. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
-Take your helmet off for me, buddy, please. -Yeah. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
Is it on you, or is it on or in the bike somewhere? | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
-No, it's in my pocket... It's in my pocket, mate. -OK. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
How much is there? Ten quid's worth? Is it just a gram, is it? | 0:29:18 | 0:29:21 | |
Not even that, mate. It's just the tiniest bit. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
Nick seizes the cannabis.... | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
..and searches for more. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
-Appreciate you being honest with me. -That's OK, mate. -All right? | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
-I knew you were going to stop me, anyway. -How did you know that? | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
-Cos I just heard. -You heard? | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
I heard that... Yeah, that you were stopping people. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
News has been getting around town about Nick's recent drugs crackdown. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:48 | |
Certainly, he'd obviously heard of me | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
and that we were stopping people for drugs round here, | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
which we do a lot of. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
We try to stay on top of it, | 0:29:54 | 0:29:55 | |
cos we do have a problem with it round here, in particular cannabis. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
So it sends a clear message out. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
But we'll deal with him in the back of the car now, | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
and then we'll take it from there. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
You need to be aware, mate, | 0:30:06 | 0:30:07 | |
I'm blitzing this town on drugs at the moment, | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
and I will deal with everybody that's using drugs in this town. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:14 | |
All right? | 0:30:14 | 0:30:16 | |
You've heard that we've been stopping people for a good reason. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
Have you smoked some dope tonight? Cos your eyes do look pretty big. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
The suspect was driving his motorbike, | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
so there could be another charge. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
He's admitted that he's smoked a small amount of cannabis, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
and he's been riding on his bike, | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
so he could be unfit through drink or drugs. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
OK, fella. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
At the moment, as of 11.10, | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
you are under arrest on suspicion of possession of cannabis, | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
and also suspicion of riding your motorbike while being unfit. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:52 | |
-OK, do you understand that? -Yeah. -You do not have to say anything. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
It may harm your defence if you do not mention now something which you later rely on in court. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand that? | 0:30:58 | 0:31:02 | |
Driving under the influence of cannabis is a more serious offence | 0:31:02 | 0:31:06 | |
than possessing a small amount of the drug. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
The suspect could have posed a danger to himself | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
and other road users. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
Right now, Nick must take him over 20 miles | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
to Hereford Police Station for testing. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
You've got about... | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
probably about a 25-minute drive to Hereford custody now, | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
where there'll be a... a road policing unit waiting | 0:31:32 | 0:31:37 | |
so they can carry out the appropriate test. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
Try and find out how much cannabis is in his system. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
We'll deal with that offence at custody, | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
and possession of the cannabis. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
PC Leon Symms tests him for cannabis use. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
OK. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:12 | |
Test is positive for cannabis, | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
so it'll be a doctor to come out and take a blood sample. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
Like drunk driving, driving while unfit due to cannabis use | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
is only prosecuted | 0:32:23 | 0:32:25 | |
if a certain level of the drug is found in the blood. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
So next is a blood test. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
I've had plenty of drink drivers, but not drug drivers, | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
so, yeah, it's the first one in the bin for me. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
The Chief Constable's tasked us | 0:32:37 | 0:32:38 | |
with trying to reduce deaths on the road. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
Obviously, cannabis has been found in his saliva | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
so, yeah, it's a good result, | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
and the roads are slightly safer tonight in Tenbury. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
In Scotland, on the Isle of Skye... | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
..the crew of Royal Navy Search and Rescue unit HMS Gannet | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
have rushed to a man who suffered a sudden heart attack | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
while driving a coach full of tourists. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
At Dr MacKinnon Memorial Hospital in the town of Broadford, | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
Gannet paramedic Taff Ashman is about to help transfer the casualty. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:44 | |
66-year-old Terence. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
The guy was a bus driver that was up taking a sort of tour group. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:54 | |
He's taken unwell, I believe at the wheel of the bus, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
so when they've got him out of the bus, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
he's gone into cardiac arrest. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:02 | |
There just so happened to be a medic who was passing. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
-Thank you. -See you later. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
At the roadside, Terence's heart stopped beating. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:13 | |
Incredibly, local ambulance technician Hamish Robertson | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
was driving past | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
and stopped in his patient transport vehicle. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
There was a man lying on the side of the road, | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
on his side, not breathing. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
His colour was blue. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
There was people round about him trying to help him. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
I then got my kit from the vehicle, cleared his airway, | 0:34:30 | 0:34:35 | |
applied a defibrillator to him and gave him five shocks. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:39 | |
And, eventually, he started breathing again | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
and his heart started working. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
His heart restarted, but still unconscious and in a critical state, | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
Terence was transferred by ambulance to the hospital here on Skye. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
He's been brought into A & E on the island | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
and we're now going to package him up | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
and take him back down to intensive care in Glasgow. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
Terence needs specialist cardiac treatment urgently. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:12 | |
We'll bring the stretcher out, go down to the cab, | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
load into the aircraft, and then fly back down to Glasgow. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
He's been driving tourist coaches for 22 years... | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
..and was planning to retire next year. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
If everybody's happy... | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
Ready, steady, lift. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
With Terence safely in the chopper, it takes off. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
They're heading for Golden Jubilee Hospital, | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
a specialist cardiac unit in Clydebank, near Glasgow. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
By the winding roads of the Western Highlands, | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
this journey would take at least four hours. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
But Gannet can fly it in under 60 minutes. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
Paramedic Taff and the emergency doctors keep a watchful eye. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
The medics have sedated Terence. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
It's a tricky balance, | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
ensuring the precise amount of anaesthetic propofol is given. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:50 | |
Consultant doctor Neil McMahon is treating him. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
But the weather's not on their side. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
They've flown into an area of low cloud and rain. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
Pilots Bullock and Hammond have to navigate carefully. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
RADIO TRANSMISSION CONTINUES | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
Great. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:07 | |
They reach Golden Jubilee Hospital. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:22 | |
40. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
20. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:28 | |
Here, Terence will be treated by specialists in cardiac care. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
Four months later... | 0:39:22 | 0:39:23 | |
..Terence is back home in the town of Ulverston, Cumbria, | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
with his wife, Christine. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
"You'll be up and out and good as new before a whole lot longer." | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
And that's from all the people that were on the coach | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
when you had your heart attack. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
Yeah. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
I don't remember anything for two weeks prior to the day. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
It's all blank. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
And three weeks after it. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
But Christine remembers the day her husband almost died all too well. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
As HMS Gannet Search and Rescue were racing to Skye, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
Christine was at work near their home when the phone rang. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
Got a phone call from a nurse, | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
asking me if I was on my own, or, "Sit down," | 0:40:15 | 0:40:21 | |
and that my husband had had a heart attack | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
and he was very seriously ill. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
I was more worried on the way up there | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
as to if he HAD crashed his coach, | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
was anybody else on board his coach involved and injured? | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
Terence had no history of heart problems. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
Fortunately, when he began to feel ill, he was able to stop the coach. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
He'd pulled it over to the side of the road... | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
in time. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
His family rushed to the hospital in Glasgow. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
When we got to the hospital, | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
we were taken into a room, what they call the family room. | 0:40:55 | 0:40:58 | |
You expect it to be bad news, | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
but when they came in and said that he was still alive, | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
he was very, very seriously ill, | 0:41:05 | 0:41:08 | |
the fact that he was still alive was a weight off our shoulders. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:13 | |
They said they'd put him into a coma | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
because it was a way for his heart to recover. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
As he started coming out of the coma, | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
he was getting very confused. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
He thought he was still at work. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
Kept going on about his coach. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:34 | |
Since then, Terence has made an amazingly speedy recovery. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:40 | |
He went to see his specialist the other day, | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
and his specialist was absolutely over the moon with him. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
So he is really doing well. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
He should be, I reckon, definitely 99%. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:53 | |
But at the age of 66, it's now time to take it easy. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
I can't drive now, so that's me retired now. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:03 | |
Relax, do my garden. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
Wants a dog so that he can take it out for walks, | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
so that'll give us something to look forward to. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
If he writes his letter to Father Christmas, he might get one! | 0:42:13 | 0:42:16 | |
It's been all go for the emergency services across the British Isles. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:33 | |
In Tenbury, the cannabis-carrying suspect | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
sniffed out by drugs dog Poppy | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
was given a cannabis warning and won't end up with a conviction. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
The motorbike rider's blood test | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
revealed he was over the legal limit for cannabis use while driving. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:52 | |
He was given a caution for possession of the drug, | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
a 14-month driving ban, a fine and court costs. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
On the Isle of Man, | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
Isabel's fractured ankle was set in a cast. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
She spent a couple of weeks in hospital | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
before getting back home with husband Donald. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
And you thought it was quiet in the countryside(!) | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 |
