0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today on Real Rescues,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06a packed ferry runs aground on rocks off the coast of Wales.
0:00:07 > 0:00:12As rescuers come to help, it starts to sink with people still on board.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15The way the tide was pulling, if they had gone in the water,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18they wouldn't have come back up again, it was that bad.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20On the hottest day of the year,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23the air ambulance is scrambled to a man in trouble on a coastal path.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Fears are he's having a heart attack.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38And a 999 call from a woman in labour.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41She's still 15 miles away from hospital.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hello and welcome to the programme which features
0:01:12 > 0:01:16the amazing work of Britain's emergency services, Real Rescues.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Now there's a code amongst all sailors that
0:01:18 > 0:01:20if anyone is in trouble at sea,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22the nearest boat will head to the rescue.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25So, when a ferry carrying day-trippers off the Pembrokeshire coast
0:01:25 > 0:01:28hits a rock and starts to list at 45 degrees,
0:01:28 > 0:01:30a boat carrying divers rushes to help.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33They're all too aware that the chance of anyone surviving
0:01:33 > 0:01:36the fast-running currents and cold temperatures is very slim.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42In Pembrokeshire, a ferry The Lady Helen has hit rocks -
0:01:42 > 0:01:44on board, 48 passengers.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Minutes before, a day-tripper captures this footage as they travel
0:01:49 > 0:01:51through Jack Sound,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55a narrow channel separating mainland Wales from Skomer Island.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Weather conditions look good, but a spring tide means the channel
0:02:01 > 0:02:04is unusually shallow and the rocks are emerging.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Suddenly there's an ominous jolt.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16There are men, women and children on board.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23We were going along and, all of a sudden,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25bang, it crunched.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28It turned...
0:02:28 > 0:02:30and it tipped.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The boat turned more or less 360 degrees,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37so we were facing back out to sea again,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39as opposed to going towards the mainland.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It was all so quick.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47You didn't have time to work out what had happened.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52And then the boat started to list and that was the terrifying bit.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53It listed quite severely.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58The ferry has hit a rock just off Skomer Island.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It's been holed.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03The bow is low in the water, the stern higher.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Within minutes, a dive boat
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and a rib from the Skomer Marine Reserve are alongside,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09but the currents here
0:03:09 > 0:03:11are fast-running and notoriously dangerous.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18As I was looking into the water, it wasn't too far to the island.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19It wasn't far at all,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21but the water was so turbulent, I thought,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23"If I go in, I'm not going to reach it."
0:03:26 > 0:03:30The skipper of the dive boat, The Overdale, is Brian Dilly,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33a former RNLI coxswain.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It took us about five or ten minutes to get there.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39The boat was listing very heavily and we thought she was sinking.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Tim Crossland is one of the divers on board Brian's boat.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We could see the boat was wedged on the top of the rock.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48He's definitely spun around.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50It was facing stern to the current
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and was listing very badly with the passengers in the stern.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57The way the tide was pulling, if they had gone in the water,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00they wouldn't have come back up again, it was that bad.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And we were going to go right alongside the vessel
0:04:03 > 0:04:04and take the passengers off.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09But it turns out to be too dangerous for the dive boat to stay close.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The small rib has to start transferring the passengers.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15On board is marine biologist Jennifer Jones.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Initially, they handed down some children and their parents.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22There were a couple of moments when I was being handed down over
0:04:22 > 0:04:25the railings a couple of little children and I was thinking,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28"Gosh. This could be quite nasty."
0:04:31 > 0:04:34That was another scary bit because, with a small rib,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36they could only take off so many at a time
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and we were beginning to wonder,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40"How long will it be before we go off?"
0:04:40 > 0:04:42We seemed to be there a long time
0:04:42 > 0:04:46and the more I thought about it and looked around at the situation,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48it looked really bad.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I couldn't see how we were going to get out of it without
0:04:51 > 0:04:52being in the water.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56By now, the Lady's sister ship, The Dale Princess, has arrived
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and managed to get a rope onto the stricken boat.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Pulled it from the rock with still passengers on board
0:05:03 > 0:05:07and it was quite obvious that the boat was...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09in trouble and sinking.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12During all this, I was shaking from head to foot.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I was really, really frightened.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19It was something I never want to experience again.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23As The Lady Helen is pulled away from the turbulent current,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27a police rib arrives and continues to transfer passengers to the dive boat.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31It is always dangerous to transfer people at sea in any conditions,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34but, luckily, the sea conditions were very good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38It was a lovely day, the sea was calm,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41so we managed to get people transferred here from the rib,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44helped them across onto this boat,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47but it isn't an easy thing to do.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The coastguard has sent two RNLI lifeboats
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and their sea rescue to the scene,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57but by now all the passengers are safely aboard the dive boat.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Spirits amongst the survivors are soaring.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08The Lady Helen is now being towed back to shore,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11but she's holed and taking on more and more water.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14All the way, they're pumping it out.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18And they just make it to shore, where the ferry finally sinks.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Safe on dry land, the passengers have time to reflect on their experiences.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30We sat on the rocks because that's all people could do.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33They were just stunned.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Totally stunned. Dazed.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38We just thanked God that the people were there
0:06:38 > 0:06:40at the right time.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43There was enough boats in the area to come to our assistance.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And hats off to the people that came and rescued us.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03A hazy morning at the air ambulance station in Somerset.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The UK is in the grip of a heat wave.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Temperatures are expected to reach 30 degrees.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18At the morning briefing,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22pilot John Erp is predicting good conditions for the helicopter.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Yeovil are out of fog already.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Temperature 12, due point of 12,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28so everything's breaking up nicely and nice high pressure,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30so we're sat in what's left of the fog.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Everyone else is clear around us.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34So, essentially, it's a lovely flying day.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44In high temperatures like this, calls out to the emergency services go up.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47On the ground and in the air, every resource is under pressure.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I'll get some speed along the runway and then we'll do a southerly turn.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54On duty with pilot John is paramedic Paul Owen
0:07:54 > 0:07:57and emergency basics doctor Phil Hyde.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13The first emergency is at a well-known coastal beauty spot
0:08:13 > 0:08:14in Dorset, Durdle Door.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28They can only speculate at this point what the problem may be.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30They have to prepare for the worst.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49First they need to find the walker.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53They've been told to look out for an obelisk-shaped landmark.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Their patient is a long way from the road.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08As soon as they're down, paramedic Paul heads off...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12..closely followed by Dr Phil Hyde and pilot John.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18The casualty is downhill near the edge of the cliff.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21This is Glen. He's walked from Osmington Mill to see...
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Seven or eight miles, did you say? Yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26So, he's come across that way.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Starting going that way.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30He's just run out of energy, so he's turned back.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34He started heading back, coming up the hill... OK.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36He's not had any pain at any stage.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38He's just felt weak and unable to continue.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Have you had any pain in your chest? No.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48If I do get a pain in the chest, it's like a stitch.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50What do you mean, if you do get a pain?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Paramedic Paul needs Glen to be explicit about any pain.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Have you had a pain in your chest today? No.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03I did yesterday. Have you been in hospital for anything? No.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Never had any heart problems? No.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Glen set off at 8am, hoping to miss the extreme heat,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12but the temperature defeated him.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15He collapsed near a group of soldiers from the Royal Armoured Corps
0:10:15 > 0:10:19training regiment. They gave him water and raised the alarm.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm going to stick a load of stickers on your chest.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I think it looks pretty good.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We've got to take some details,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34but we haven't found anything significantly horrible.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Now, if we can... We'd rather you didn't walk back
0:10:36 > 0:10:39cos you're going to end up in the same state walking back.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41But if we can get you a lift, something like that,
0:10:41 > 0:10:42are you happy if we can get you taken back?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Yeah. Cos I don't think there's any need to go to hospital.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49All right? All you need to do is take it easy, drink plenty of fluids.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I just need to...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Paramedic Paul updates control.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57He's hoping a coastguard volunteer will be able to take Glen home.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Yeah, 7250, we're on scene.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Patient doesn't need to be conveyed to hospital.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06What's the situation with regards to the coastguard?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Are they turning up in a 4 x 4, over?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12They're bringing up a four-wheel-drive up here. Right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15And we'll be able to stick you on the back of that
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and get you back down to civilisation. Right, cheers.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21So we'll keep you out of the sun at the moment while we're...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Stay sat down. Have you had some of that Lucozade?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28HE LAUGHS
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Yeah, I don't like cherry! You're all right!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Just get a little bit more down you.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Take the cherry on the chin, and get it down you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Glen's still suffering, but this spot is inaccessible by Land Rover.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44There's no choice - Glen has to walk back up the hill.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Are you feeling a bit better after that fluid, electrolytes? Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's a steep climb in the searing heat.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58How are you feeling?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We'll just get you through this gate and sit down.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's too much for Glen.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Just deep breaths here, mate.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09We'll get him in the shade again.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17He drops to the ground again, too exhausted to continue.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Where was that fluid he was drinking?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I've got a car back here.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26That's kind of you. Where's those bottles that you were drinking?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29The army group kicks into action. They split into two teams.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32One goes to chase up the Land Rover,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the second keeps Glen hydrated and cool.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Within minutes, the coastguard appears, complete with army escort.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Are you able to drop him back home,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51or are you able to drop him with the ambulance?
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Despite his second collapse, Paul is happy to discharge his patient.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59We can take him back to wherever, but if it's local,
0:12:59 > 0:13:00I mean, where is..? Osmington.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04There's just time for Glen to thank all his rescuers
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and for medic Paul to give him some advice.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Did you hear that? It looks like they're happy to drop you back.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13All right? But just take it easy.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Take plenty of fluids, keep out of the sun, you know,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19just enjoy yourself. Don't have too much alcohol to drink. Right.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21I know you're on holiday, but you can't, all right?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31It's a 35-mile flight back along the dramatic coastline.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Once they land,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37all hands are needed to prepare the aircraft for its next emergency.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It's not long before the air ambulance is needed again.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42They're heading back towards the South Coast.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Unconscious, dragged out of the water. Is that the story? Yeah.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51RADIO: '1750, stand down, stand down, not required.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52'Land crews on scene, over.'
0:13:52 > 0:13:56But a few minutes later, an update comes through from control.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The air medics are no longer required.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Later, the ambulance is needed at a school.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05A young girl has a high fever...
0:14:05 > 0:14:07SHE WHIMPERS
0:14:07 > 0:14:10..and has been fitting for seven minutes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29It's 6.30am in the South Western Ambulance control room,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33and a frenetic 999 call has just come in from Cornwall.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58A heavily pregnant woman is being driven by her husband
0:14:58 > 0:15:00from Penzance to hospital in Truro.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02They have 15 miles to go,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04but Christina's contractions have started.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07SHE SQUEALS
0:15:07 > 0:15:10By now, they're in the small town of Camborne.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Husband Max is frantically searching for an ambulance station,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15but he's running out of time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17SHE SCREAMS
0:15:21 > 0:15:22SHE SCREAMS
0:15:22 > 0:15:25MAX: Oh, darling, darling, darling, please.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Max decides to pull into the local police station car park,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36where Christina's piercing screams can be heard from inside.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38We thought it was an animal in pain.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39A sound that you can only describe
0:15:39 > 0:15:41as coming from somewhere
0:15:41 > 0:15:42deep down inside you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Off we went, out through the gate, to find Max and Christina there.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Max was on the phone, doing his very best to speak to ambulance control.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Christina was out of the car, doubled up.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So I went over to talk to her
0:15:55 > 0:15:57and discovered, you know, she was due.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59They had another 15 miles to go
0:15:59 > 0:16:02when they really couldn't go on any further.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Dave's colleague, Paul Freestone,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06takes over the call with ambulance control and suddenly,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09the police find themselves playing the role of midwives.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36SHE SCREAMS
0:16:55 > 0:16:57There is no time to get Christina to hospital.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Her baby is going to be born in the car park.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12An ambulance has now arrived at the police station.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14The paramedics get Christina into the back seat,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18and it's not long before the car has one more occupant.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22This kid has got to win gold medals in 18, 19 years time
0:17:22 > 0:17:23at the Olympics, because,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27unlike my four children that have sort of come out sedately,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28this kid came out like a rocket.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31But the drama isn't over yet.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The baby has the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Dave is very relieved that a paramedic is on hand.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40As I caught the body, he's got the head and he's got his fingers
0:17:40 > 0:17:44under the cord, which has come out over the top of the baby
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and was wrapped round the neck, and he was just SO quick.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Five weeks on, Christina is home with baby Macaulay,
0:17:52 > 0:17:57and can look back on her night in the strangest of delivery rooms.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I apologised to everyone as I was being wheeled to the ambulance.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05And they said, "Oh, no, no, it was an amazing experience."
0:18:05 > 0:18:08And I said, "Yes, but I apologise for the noise and the screaming!"
0:18:08 > 0:18:11But, yeah, it was amazing.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It was just a sense of smile, you know, happiness.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20When I looked around, I saw a lot of people smiling at the same time.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24I was just over the moon, the fact that everything was OK, and...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28..messy car, but everything was OK.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32And the experience for would-be midwife Dave
0:18:32 > 0:18:34is one he'll never forget.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36A real way to end the career, because I retire on Sunday,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38and that's it, you know.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41I think of all the dark things that have happened,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44this certainly comes up in the memories of the sweetest -
0:18:44 > 0:18:45the sweetest of my career.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54And believe it or not, the policeman who delivered the baby at work
0:18:54 > 0:18:56belongs to C-section. Absolutely true!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Right, time to talk about hide and seek with the police
0:18:59 > 0:19:01and CCTV with Leonie here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Tell us about this incident.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Well, we had a call on the radio from CCTV saying that
0:19:06 > 0:19:08there was a fight going on in a back alley, so they put it
0:19:08 > 0:19:12through on the live feed for us, and we started to monitor it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16We'd got officers making to the area to try and break them up,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and whilst they were en route, it started to escalate.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22The chap knocked another gentleman out,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and then ran off and tried to hide from us.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29He took his T-shirt off and that left him topless...
0:19:29 > 0:19:31He's hiding by going topless? Yes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34That's not very bright, is it? No, it's not, no.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It will attract more attention. It will.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38And he actually sat at a bus stop waiting for a bus,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42but as he saw us arrive, he ran off down the road.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Another officer's joined, er...following him,
0:19:46 > 0:19:51and he hid behind a telephone box, which we followed on the CCTV,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53and we went either side and nicked him.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56NICK CHUCKLES So he thinks he's hiding?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59He thinks he's hiding, and we've actually followed him on CCTV
0:19:59 > 0:20:01and managed to arrest him for the assault.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04So, there you go, don't try playing hide and seek with the police,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07because they've got CCTV and they'll find you, wherever you are.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Still to come on Real Rescues:
0:20:12 > 0:20:15the air ambulance is flying to a young schoolgirl
0:20:15 > 0:20:18who has some very worrying symptoms...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34..and a young man is found wandering, injured,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38on a notoriously busy road, but it's not clear how it happened.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41He says he's been hit by the wing mirror,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44and he's been walking this way towards us, toward Bedford,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48so you'd expect the injuries to be on the right-hand side of his body,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50and in fact, his leg injury is on the left.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55SIRENS BLARE
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Emergency care practitioner Malcolm Silvester has received
0:21:02 > 0:21:04what's called a crew referral.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Paramedics already at an incident have requested his help.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12The crew has been out to this patient for a fall, apparently.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16They've fallen in the garden, an 87-year-old chap,
0:21:16 > 0:21:21and they're referring it for an eye injury, just above the eye.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Malcolm has the skills to treat such an injury in the patient's home,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30saving him a trip to hospital.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34We've got this young gentleman here, 87 years young, Terry Williams.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Inside, paramedic Steve Follett brings Malcolm up to speed.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41He's come in, he was putting his washing out, and he's fallen,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and he's bashed his head on the concrete.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44He wasn't knocked out.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Just got a little lac above the right eye there,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48just needs a little bit of attention.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51How do you feel now, Terry? Fine, thank you. Good.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53They looking after you, then? Oh, excellent.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55He's on a lot of medications, but apart from that,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58he's normally fit and well. Not bad for his age, are you?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02No, I'm lucky. We're going to look at your eye, yeah? Yeah.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Patch you up. And put me to bed.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I don't know about that!
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Terry's sense of humour, it seems, has survived the fall.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You remember what happened, then? Yes, clearly.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18And his memory is good too. Both positive signs.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We thought, "Why rush you up to the hospital?"
0:22:20 > 0:22:22We don't want to do that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Wonderful, let's just have a look at your wound. Does that hurt, Terry?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28No. Good.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Can you fix it? This is the question.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Won't spoil my good looks, stitches, will it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It could even make you better-looking,
0:22:36 > 0:22:37even better-looking -
0:22:37 > 0:22:39how about that? Rugged!
0:22:41 > 0:22:44With Terry's home treatment under way,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47paramedic Steve is free to answer another call.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Right, we're off, then, take care. Thanks very much. Thanks, Steve.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Malcolm has opted for stitches, rather than medical glue,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56to close the wound.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Where the wound is, at the moment,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02and the way the wound's quite jagged,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04it's not going to close with a bit of glue.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I'm going to put two or three stitches in there,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08just to hold it together.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12The adhesive type of stitches, or steri-strips, won't be used either,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16because Terry's cut is very close to an eyebrow.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19This is going to sting a little bit, OK?
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Before his wound is stitched, the area will be made numb with anaesthetic.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Malcolm needs to make several small injections to ensure the area
0:23:27 > 0:23:28is completely numb.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Terry's son, Steve, arrives.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36All right, Dad? You're Steve, are you? Hello, Steve, I'm Malcolm.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Hello, Malcolm. OK?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42He's got a laceration just above the eye, where the eyebrow is.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's quite deep, but it's too deep to glue. Right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48It's in the wrong place for steri-strips to hold it,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51so I'm going to put two or three stitches in it to hold it together.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54So you literally did it, Dad, just before you rung me?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I went down to wipe the line clean, you know, it gets cobwebby.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03After five minutes, the delicate job of stitching Terry's cut can begin.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Do you want to come and have a look, Steve?
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Quite a long one, isn't it?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Now he's got three stitches in there. He needs them taken out.
0:24:14 > 0:24:21Malcolm's final job is to brief Steve on any possible after-effects of a head injury.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Excessively sleepy, severe headache, blurred vision -
0:24:24 > 0:24:28any of those symptoms, anything out of the ordinary, really,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30just to look out for.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You take it easy for the rest of the day, all right? Yes, yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38I shall, for the rest of the week. Good idea.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42And go careful outside, all right? I will, yes.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It may come as no surprise to you to know that people sometimes lie to the police.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Sometimes that's easier to detect than others,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53as Louise will explain to us.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I took a call from a guy one day to say that he couldn't make it
0:24:56 > 0:24:58for bail that evening because he was stuck in India.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59He couldn't get a flight home.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I said, "Is that true? Because the landline you're calling from
0:25:03 > 0:25:06"is displayed on my phone and shows a Milton Keynes dialling code."
0:25:06 > 0:25:09He said, "No, you must have got it wrong. It's been rerouted."
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I said, "You're clearly in Milton Keynes. You're lying to me on a recorded line.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And then I overheard his friend in the background say,
0:25:15 > 0:25:19"I'm ordering a pizza from a well known UK-based takeaway company,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21"what do you want on the topping?"
0:25:21 > 0:25:23And he turned round and I said to him again,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27"You do realise you are on a recorded line and you aren't phoning from India?"
0:25:27 > 0:25:31He called me a few names I can't repeat and then hung up on me.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So presumably he got himself into enormous trouble.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Not very bright, is he? No. Not least because he's insulting you
0:25:37 > 0:25:40on the phone, which is never going to endear you, is it? Not at all.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43So be polite on the phone and don't be stupid, I think that's the advice here.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53It's 10am on a busy weekday and Green Watch are on their way to reports of a gas leak.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57But, unusually, this leak is coming from a parked campervan.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02The van's been converted to run on liquid petroleum gas.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05LPG vaporises faster than petrol
0:26:05 > 0:26:09and even a small amount can ignite and explode.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Drag everything back, Charlie. We'll close this road off as well.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Crew manager Liam Barry
0:26:16 > 0:26:18must act quickly to prevent a potential disaster.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26LPG vehicles vary in the way they're fitted.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Liam has the difficult task of finding the isolation switch to stop the leak.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Luckily, the owner, Bernard, has just arrived.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Is that yours, is it? Yeah. Right, I was just going to phone you.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Although they have found the isolation switch, there's a problem.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44It's completely frozen over.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47The escaping gas has cooled the water in the air.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Now there's the added danger of severe cold burns
0:26:52 > 0:26:54so Liam and the crew must take extra care.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Can you put a light spray on there while I'm underneath,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02and just kind of keep it that way?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Just try and disperse the LPG that way
0:27:04 > 0:27:08while I have a look at the valve from under there. Does that make sense?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13That's all right, that's fine.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I thought that might freeze on there but it's actually melting it.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Know the ice has melted, the firefighters can finally
0:27:18 > 0:27:20attempt to shut off the valve.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You can still smell it, though.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29But that hasn't fixed it. Liam needs help from Bernard.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32The little yellow lever, that's turned down.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I'm not sure which side of the leak it's isolated.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41If one of those valves wasn't working, that should do it,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43as I understand it. The gas is still escaping.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Liam is now considering leaving it until the tank is empty.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49But there's a problem with that too.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I filled it yesterday, yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54So on that grounds, it would take a week, the rate that's going at.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59Whilst people are working round it, there is a risk there, isn't there?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03So I would be very reluctant to leave anyone with it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Options are running out. Liam needs to get some ideas from his crew.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10I was hoping that isolator would have worked.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I thought when we switched it that it'd stopped.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Switched it back on, just to make sure it was that,
0:28:16 > 0:28:22and it started evaporating off, whatever the word is for it.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Um, switched it back off again and it's still going,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27although I can't see any at the moment.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Whilst they've been talking, the leak appears to have stopped.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It has stopped now. Has it? Yeah.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Yeah. It's fine.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Thankfully, the leak is now under control
0:28:44 > 0:28:46and Liam is happy to hand over to Bernard.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I'll fill in a handover form which hands responsibility
0:28:49 > 0:28:53back to you from this point, and then we're off, if that's OK?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57It's been a challenging job and not one the firefighters are used to.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Every system tends to be different.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Different switches in different places
0:29:01 > 0:29:04and different switches will isolate different parts of the system.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Limited experience in these sorts of things, really,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08compared to petrol and diesel.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Obviously, an LPG leak presents
0:29:10 > 0:29:13a different kind of hazard to a petrol leak.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Bernard is a satisfied customer.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19He can now take his van to the garage to get it fixed.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Thank you very much. Sorry you were disturbed in that way. That's fine.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32It's 11pm and traffic police Gary Fortnum and Ray McNaught
0:29:32 > 0:29:35have been called to a job out of their area.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38We got a report from Bedfordshire colleagues
0:29:38 > 0:29:42that they've come across a male pedestrian on the A421
0:29:42 > 0:29:45and he's saying he's been hit by a car.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48It's an odd place for a pedestrian.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It is a very dangerous section of road.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55We have had some really horrendous collisions on this bit of road.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Juliet, Tango, Papa, nine, two...
0:29:58 > 0:30:02PC Casey from Bedfordshire Police hands over to Gary.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06He says he got knocked into the bushes.
0:30:06 > 0:30:07When we managed to get to him,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10he was already on the phone to the ambulance.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14They were confused as to where he was. Is he English? No.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Lithuanian, isn't it? Latvian.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Latvian. Ronalds. He's got his ID in his pocket.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23OK, mate, all right. Our colleagues are going to go off
0:30:23 > 0:30:27and you can stay with us until the ambulance comes. OK.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Nice and steady.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Ronalds has a bad limp on his left side.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Thanks, guys.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Have a sit on there. Just lean on there for a minute.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39There we go. What happened?
0:30:45 > 0:30:50What did he hit you with, was it the wing mirror? Yeah?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53OK, so it hit you on this side? Yeah, yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56And whereabouts did it hit you? On your leg or your arm?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Moments later, an ambulance arrives
0:31:04 > 0:31:06and paramedics start to examine Ronalds.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10They check for evidence of spinal injury.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26And it turns out home is a long way from here.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33The address is in Bedford.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Ronalds was attempting a 14-mile walk home
0:31:37 > 0:31:39along notoriously dangerous roads.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43I still can't make up my mind
0:31:43 > 0:31:47whether he's been hit by a car or whether he's fallen in the ditch.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50He says he's been hit by the wing mirror.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53And he's been walking this way towards us, towards Bedford,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55so you would expect the injuries
0:31:55 > 0:31:57to be on the right-hand side of his body.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59And in fact, his leg injury's on the left.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04But how he got the injuries is less important than treating them.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Since he's complained of back pain, Ronalds is placed on a spinal board.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13Coming back, going to lay down nice and straight. Ready?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Down we come, all the way. Neck nice and straight. Keep going.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Gary wonders if alcohol may have
0:32:18 > 0:32:20played a part in Ronalds' predicament.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22How much have you had to drink today?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Lambrini? A big bottle?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31It's a fairly low-alcohol drink, so even a large bottle doesn't
0:32:31 > 0:32:34explain tonight's events, or Ronalds' memory.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42With Ronalds safely aboard the ambulance,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Gary tries again to piece together what happened.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50So, this wing mirror, when it hit you, did it hit you on the arm?
0:32:51 > 0:32:55And you were definitely walking on the left-hand side of the road?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57So, you should have got hit on this arm.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01But regardless of how it happened, Ronalds injuries are undeniable.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14He's off to Milton Keynes Hospital now. So, whatever the cause,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17he needs to go to hospital to have it checked out anyway.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Now, this control room, as you can see,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28covers a great deal of motorway and Trefor can chat to us
0:33:28 > 0:33:31about the responsibilities that come with that,
0:33:31 > 0:33:35especially at the moment, because we've just recently had an incident
0:33:35 > 0:33:36which is starting to clear up.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Let me draw your attention to this screen.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40You can see the northbound, I suppose,
0:33:40 > 0:33:44or westbound carriageway... It's the northbound. ..on the M40.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46You can see, it's very, very busy here,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49but it's just clearing through because there was an incident.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51That's right. We had a report of a three-vehicle...
0:33:51 > 0:33:56It came as injury-RTC, with all three lanes blocked. And where is that?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Can you show us where that is on the map? Yeah, yeah.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03It's on the M40. And it's going northbound, between six and seven.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04In fact, it was about...
0:34:04 > 0:34:06by that bridge there where the incident occurred.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Now, we can see the traffic is moving again.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10So, at what point, for you, do you say, "OK,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14"we have an incident here, and the tailback is going back,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18"we need to divert the traffic that is building up"?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Because, obviously, clogged motorways
0:34:20 > 0:34:21is a problem for you as well.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26Well, obviously, an important thing is to preserve the scene,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29especially if it's a serious injury-RTC.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32We need to look after people on the scene first. Injuries?
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Yes. Possible criminal investigation, depending on the seriousness?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Yes, yes. If it's serious injury,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40then we would treat it as a crime scene.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42We secure the scene,
0:34:42 > 0:34:45and then we would worry about people in the tailback,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47after we've got the scene secured. OK.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50At which point, then, is there a discussion,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52or is that the officer on the ground who says,
0:34:52 > 0:34:55"Right, I need to divert people around"? It would be the
0:34:55 > 0:34:59officer on the scene who would decide how serious the incident is.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02And then obviously, we would take it from there.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04So, how difficult is it, because you have a lot of motorway here
0:35:04 > 0:35:06that you look after in this control room?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09We actually cover 200 miles of motorway, which is
0:35:09 > 0:35:11more than any other force in the country. Is that right?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Yes. 200 miles.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15And you go through practice, don't you, where if there is a major
0:35:15 > 0:35:18incident, you have a system where you can throw a whole
0:35:18 > 0:35:21load of people at an incident, if there is a major incident?
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Yes, we would find people to cover all aspects of the incident,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27including the Highways Agency as well, of course,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30who help us to keep the motorways open.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Is it a big responsibility?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Do you feel the weight of responsibility to keep
0:35:34 > 0:35:36our motorways open?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40We do our best to obviously keep it because we know how much people
0:35:40 > 0:35:42rely on using the motorways to get from A to B.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Trefor, thank you very much. Lovely. Thanks for talking us through that.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Amazing, really. 200 miles, you say? Yes. Wow.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Back in Somerset, it's one of the hottest days of the year.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03The air paramedics have already treated a walker who
0:36:03 > 0:36:06collapsed after suffering heat exhaustion.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Now they are heading to a school,
0:36:07 > 0:36:10where a young girl is fitting uncontrollably.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Meningitis is a medical emergency.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Air paramedic Paul Owen is in contact with the ambulance
0:36:22 > 0:36:23crew already at the scene.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43These are all signs of meningitis,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46which can be fatal in a very short space of time.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04The school field makes a perfect landing site for the air ambulance.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We are downwind at the moment, so I will just set myself
0:37:06 > 0:37:10up for a diagonal approach, reciprocal, heading into the field.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14As soon as they land, they head inside.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16The young girl is called Emily.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19By her side, her mother and a teacher.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23The crew are updated by paramedic Colin Sullivan.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27She had a witnessed grand mal fit lasting about seven minutes.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30She was about GCS-8 when we arrived, she wasn't fitting.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Query postictal.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Her BM is 8.1, her temperature is 39.4, it's not really budged much.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39The concerning thing for me is I popped her flat on her back,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43popped her chin on her chest, and her left leg involuntarily moves
0:37:43 > 0:37:45every time I pop her chin on her chest.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Hello, Emily.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Hello, Emily, are you all right?
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Emily has been given paracetamol
0:37:50 > 0:37:54and an injection of antibiotics in case it is meningitis.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Can you hold your hands there? Hold both hands there.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Don't let them fall.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Paul starts some neurological tests.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06So, how long ago did she come out of the fit?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11She came out about 13.22.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13So 40 minutes or so ago.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Mum says recovery normally is a bit quicker than this.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18EMILY CRIES
0:38:19 > 0:38:24Emily has a history of fits. She is looking very poorly. Mummy...
0:38:24 > 0:38:26She's here. Mum?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Keep straight ahead.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42It's possible the fitting has been caused by a high temperature,
0:38:42 > 0:38:45which in turn is probably caused by an infection.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48But the medics don't know what sort.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Paramedic Paul confers with Dr Phil Hyde
0:38:50 > 0:38:52about which hospital to take her to.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57How long in the aircraft? Five minutes or so.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59We'll go along to Bath,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01the hospital, if that sounds OK? Yeah.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03And so she can be checked over
0:39:03 > 0:39:06and actually then kept an eye on, as well.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Dr Hyde wants to fit a tube in Emily's arm so that he can
0:39:09 > 0:39:12administer more drugs quickly if her condition deteriorates.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15He's doing something to my hand!
0:39:17 > 0:39:20It's all getting a bit much for Emily. All right.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Right, can I pick you up, Emily?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Paul sweeps her up and off to the helicopter.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28EMILY CRIES IN DISTRESS
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Has this bear got the name?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Emily. Emily Bear? That's a nice name.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42My daughter is called Emily as well.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45The air ambulance sets off for the hospital in Bath.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Once she's safely delivered, the crew head back to base.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05But it's not the end of the day.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18They're looking for an open area.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It's one of the most serious calls.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Luckily, a local sports field makes a perfect landing site.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31The crew set off to join the paramedics already with the patient.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38But tragically, the woman could not be saved.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42It's something the team has to deal with more often than
0:40:42 > 0:40:48they would like. It's a low end to the final shift of Paul's week.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Since Monday, we've had three cardiac arrests,
0:40:50 > 0:40:52a couple of cardiac related collapses,
0:40:52 > 0:40:58a couple of RTAs, a fall from a ladder, anaphylaxis, RTA,
0:40:58 > 0:40:59a child fitting.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03So, it's been a real spectrum of what we've seen.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04We've got a good team up here.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08We come back, we'll debrief most jobs between us, and then
0:41:08 > 0:41:09the other crews that come in will
0:41:09 > 0:41:12talk through the other things that have happened.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14I think if you held everything, all the sad moments, in your head,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17you'd be a very sad person.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19The day ends with the practicalities.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Time to go home!
0:41:22 > 0:41:26It's the crew's job to put the helicopter back in the hangar.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28That has got to be the most hot,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30intense day we've had for a long time.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Everyone's exhausted,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39but at least they may have lightened the air ambulance's load.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42It would be interesting if we had weighed ourselves this morning,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44and see how much we have lost...
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Both the air ambulance patients we've
0:41:52 > 0:41:55been following throughout the programme are doing well.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00After collapsing during a sweltering early-morning walk,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Glen recovered quickly with no further symptoms.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08He bought the Army Corp boys a drink in the evening to say thank you.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Nothing right now. He's doing something in my hand!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Schoolgirl Emily was not suffering from meningitis,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17but she did have an infection in both ears.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20After some more antibiotics, she was on the mend in a few days.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Terry, who fell and bashed his head,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28suffered no lasting ill-effects, not even a headache.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33Have a look, Steve. Yeah...
0:42:33 > 0:42:35He had the stitches out a week later.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38OK, whoa. Nice and steady.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40And it turned out Ronalds was walking the 15 miles to
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Bedford in the middle of the night
0:42:42 > 0:42:45because he had missed a coach connection at Milton Keynes.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48After being knocked into a ditch by a car wing mirror,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51he had injuries to his back and left knee.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53With the help of physio, he's progressing well.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I was just thinking about our little baby born at the police station.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Perhaps, amongst all the other equipment
0:43:01 > 0:43:03that police forces need to carry now,
0:43:03 > 0:43:06they should have wicketkeeping gloves for extra-fast deliveries.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08That's it for today's Real Rescues. See you next time.
