0:00:02 > 0:00:04Lucy has heart-attack symptoms, but she's only seven!

0:00:04 > 0:00:08Her pulse is racing at 255 beats a minute,

0:00:08 > 0:00:11three times faster than normal.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14It's really rapid. I mean, at least she feels well.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16She's a good colour, well perfused,

0:00:16 > 0:00:20but she needs to be monitored by the nursing team and doctors.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24And police with tracker dogs call in air support.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28They're searching for a missing man, and they fear he may not survive the night.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30"Yeah. This is...

0:00:30 > 0:00:32extremely thick, er...

0:00:32 > 0:00:34undergrowth,

0:00:34 > 0:00:37and a tree. I'm trying to get my torch into it. Over."

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello and welcome to Real Rescues.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07We're at Hampshire Police control headquarters Charlie One.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10They take over a quarter of a million emergency calls every year.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Different controllers have different specialisms. That's forensics.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17They're taking calls at the moment. And behind me,

0:01:17 > 0:01:21that's the Eastleigh. They deal with the airport.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Those big screens there are the motorway desk.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27It's clear at the moment even though it's raining. A really important one.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Can you see Phil Jones, with the headphones on? He's the inspector,

0:01:31 > 0:01:33and he's in charge of everything that goes on here.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36But it's not just police emergencies on the show today.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Now we have an unusual and worrying call for the ambulance service.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43The symptoms being described are very familiar,

0:01:43 > 0:01:47but it's the age of the person suffering them that's causing concern.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50SIREN WAILS

0:01:50 > 0:01:54A 999 callout to a patient with chest pains

0:01:54 > 0:01:57is nothing unusual for Julian Wensley-Smith.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01But today the patient is only seven years old.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05It's quite unusual to get a child that young

0:02:05 > 0:02:08experiencing chest pains and palpitations.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11It's not something that comes through too often,

0:02:11 > 0:02:14so I'm wondering if there's any previous history,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17or it could be a new episode of something,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19never had this problem before.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27The patient, Lucy, looks bright and alert,

0:02:27 > 0:02:30but Julian immediately spots her racing pulse.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34It's so fast it's making one of the main arteries bulge in her neck.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Lucy is calm enough to tell Julian what happened.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Out in the playground doing routines for Mr Petrie,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46and when I was running around, it just started.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Oh, OK. What happened? What started? You tell me.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- My palpitations. - OK. You point and show me where.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- There.- Right in there. OK.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's the seventh time this has happened to Lucy

0:02:59 > 0:03:03in the last two years. Her mum brings Julian up to date.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, for some reason her heart rate goes ballistic.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Super-duper quick?- Yes.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11And she's had a monitor for a week.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14She's had a sticky-on monitor for 24 hours,

0:03:14 > 0:03:18and they haven't been able to catch anything happening to her.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21So although Lucy's been thoroughly checked out at the hospital,

0:03:21 > 0:03:25no-one has ever been able to get an electrocardiograph

0:03:25 > 0:03:29or ECG reading of her heart rate during one of these episodes.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32There's a chance Julian can do that now.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Look at you! You know exactly what's coming, don't you?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- MUM LAUGHS - ECG.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Yeah, that's right. This is the real cold one.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Oh!- Told you.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45The ECG machine should be able to provide vital information

0:03:45 > 0:03:48about what's going on in Lucy's heart.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52And pop your hands down by your side. That's great.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- AUTOMATED ECG VOICE - "Do not touch the patient."

0:03:56 > 0:03:59But just when they need it, Julian can't get a reading.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01There's interference from somewhere.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05And he doesn't have any more luck with counting her pulse.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09It's been as high as 260 beats per minute in previous episodes.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12It's going too fast to count.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I would expect, with a child of Lucy's age,

0:04:16 > 0:04:19to see a heart rate, really,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22sort of 90, 110.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26For her heart rate to be going well over 200,

0:04:26 > 0:04:30it was almost three times faster than what it should have been.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Julian tries to get an ECG reading

0:04:32 > 0:04:35using larger pads.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Just put that one on your back.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Ow!

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It hurts.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Well done! Done.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Good. You're a very good patient, you know that?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48You're a very cool, calm patient.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50"Analysing heart rhythm."

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Ignore what the machine says, OK?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56It says all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01But it still doesn't give a useful reading.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Lucy's sister Meggan is waiting to let in the ambulance crew

0:05:05 > 0:05:08who are on their way. They carry more equipment

0:05:08 > 0:05:11which can measure the electrical responses of the heart.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Apart from the pain in her chest,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17Lucy is also complaining that she's feeling short of breath.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- What's that?- Oxygen.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Let's just see if we just... If you feel a bit short of breath,

0:05:23 > 0:05:27let's see if we can improve the way you're feeling slightly.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29All right? It just goes...

0:05:29 > 0:05:31There. There.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Well done, you. Is that all right? How's that feel?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- A bit better.- OK. Good. Let's just see how it goes.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39We'll just leave it on for a short time.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44The oxygen helps, but Lucy's racing pulse remains a bit of a mystery.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48It's really rapid. I mean, at least she feels well.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51She's a good colour. She's well perfused, but it needs monitoring.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55Whilst it's going as quick as that, she needs to be monitored

0:05:55 > 0:05:57by the nursing team and doctors.

0:05:57 > 0:06:02Lucy still has pains in her chest, but she's staying remarkably calm.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07OK. I think what we'll do is, we will pop you onto the ambulance

0:06:07 > 0:06:09in a minute, all right? They're on their way.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I think we'll do another ECG

0:06:12 > 0:06:14with all the stickers across your chest,

0:06:14 > 0:06:17and then we'll pop you up to the hospital

0:06:17 > 0:06:20and hopefully later on today you'll come back home.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22All right?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Fingers crossed, eh? You getting fed up with this now, are you?- No.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30You taking it all in your stride? Brilliant.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's a lot for a seven year old to deal with,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35but Lucy is coping extremely well.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45The ambulance arrives, and Julian hands over to paramedic Carol Cole.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- You alright?- Yeah. You? - For a year and a half now,

0:06:48 > 0:06:52she's been experiencing... Yeah. Periods of palpitations.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55She's been under all the specialists at the General.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58They cannot find the cause.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01- They said if it happens, 999, try and catch it.- Yeah.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Bit of a mystery, then?- Yeah. You're a bit of a mystery, aren't you?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Mum and Meggan are going to travel with Lucy in the ambulance.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Right.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Before they leave, there's great news.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Lucy's heart rate is suddenly back to normal.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22You see this here? It's showing your heart rate's slowed right down.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26I can't feel it, either. That's really good.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28The palpitations appear to have stopped,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31to everyone's immense relief.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35This time Lucy's attack has lasted for just over an hour,

0:07:35 > 0:07:37much shorter than before.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40That's a normal heart rate for someone your age. That's good.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43So it's gone back to normal.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46It's just frustrating that they didn't get that ECG reading.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51The hospital are desperately wanting to capture this rapid heart rate

0:07:51 > 0:07:57on an ECG, and we were probably two minutes away from achieving that.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01So in one sense, you know, we are very pleased

0:08:01 > 0:08:06that Lucy's heart rate has slowed down and she's feeling better,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09but in the other sense we're slightly disappointed

0:08:09 > 0:08:12in that we missed an opportunity to capture this,

0:08:12 > 0:08:16and obviously that would have been quite useful to the doctors.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20She'll now be checked over again in hospital,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22and Julian can get off to his next case.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Very nice to meet you. You were a very good patient. Well done.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28You're a credit to your mum. See you later.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Lucy suffered an identical attack one week on.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37That time paramedics were able to get an ECG in time,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40so we'll find out exactly what's causing it later.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43And from one emergency service to another.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47£100,000 worth of hay has caught fire in a huge barn,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50right next to a herd of young bulls. The fire crew soon realise

0:08:50 > 0:08:54that simply putting out the flames is not going to be enough.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55SIREN WAILS

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Hampshire Fire and Rescue have been called to a fire at a remote farm.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02A hay barn is burning fiercely.

0:09:03 > 0:09:08En route I could see the smoke plume as soon as I left the fire station.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Four fire engines, one special-equipment unit

0:09:10 > 0:09:14and two water carriers arrive to find a ferocious fire.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20450 tons of hay are alight.

0:09:20 > 0:09:25But this is a beef farm, and nearly 200 valuable animals are in danger.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29When the fire started, half the bulls were in the pen

0:09:29 > 0:09:33closest to the flames. They had to be moved straight away.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38The radiating heat coming across can be up to 1,000 degrees.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Now, that would then start to burn the skin of the bulls.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44They would then get agitated, knock the fence down

0:09:44 > 0:09:47and then stampede where we are.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50But now, with two rival herds in the same pen,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52there's a new danger.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55The two herds didn't get on together.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59All the bulls were fighting each other from the different herds.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02One farm worker has already had a narrow escape.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06One of the farm workers, who weighed 18 stone, was thrown out the pen

0:10:06 > 0:10:09by one of the bulls, and over the fence.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Control have sent in their animal-rescue specialists.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16They're experts at handling animals in distress and danger.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19There's no way on earth, if a beef bull starts to charge,

0:10:19 > 0:10:22you're going to have any way of stopping it. I have to make sure

0:10:22 > 0:10:26all the firefighters are aware that they're not to go near the cattle,

0:10:26 > 0:10:30and also that they must make sure they've got safe egress

0:10:30 > 0:10:33should any of the animals jump out of the cattle shed.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35For the moment the bulls aren't going anywhere.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39They can't be let into the field because they have a special diet,

0:10:39 > 0:10:41and eating grass could be fatal.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48The firefighters are doing all they can to protect the farmer's livelihood.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51It means they aren't going to attempt to put the fire out.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Too much water could have a devastating consequence.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59The reason we do not put the fire out is,

0:10:59 > 0:11:02the farmer is left with several tons of wet hay,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05and the animals will not touch it, so you've got to dispose of it.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08So the easiest thing is to let it burn controlled.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11In fact they even help the flames along.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16These two positive-pressure ventilation fans in the door

0:11:16 > 0:11:20are to encourage the fire to go, and that meant the fire burned quicker,

0:11:20 > 0:11:24which meant we would be at the farm less time

0:11:24 > 0:11:27and be less stress for the bulls.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31All the time they have to hope against hope the wind doesn't change direction.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34If the flames and smoke head over to the cattle shed,

0:11:34 > 0:11:37the farmer will be forced to make a terrible decision.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41We couldn't put them into pasture. We couldn't move them anywhere

0:11:41 > 0:11:46from where they were, so the only means of controlling the hazard

0:11:46 > 0:11:49is to have the animals humanely shot,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52and those plans were being drawn up all the time the fire was burning.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59The heat is so intense, it's beginning to set fire to other parts of the farm.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03It spread across the tracks. There was a fence alongside it, as well,

0:12:03 > 0:12:06which caught fire. The trees above were starting to catch fire.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09So we laid out some hose reels just to damp them down,

0:12:09 > 0:12:13but always conscious of not using too much water.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18They're continuing to control the fire, but with limited water supplies.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23There are no fire hydrants nearby, so the fire crews have set up a dam in the lane.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27The water carriers ferry water back and forth to keep it full.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32If we run out six jets, we run out of water within 20 seconds,

0:12:32 > 0:12:36so we have to prioritise our actions,

0:12:36 > 0:12:40and it basically was to save all the water for a fan spray

0:12:40 > 0:12:43between the barn and the bulls.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46The fine spray cools down the hot air before it reaches the bulls,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49protecting them from the intense heat.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53The tactics are working. The wind hasn't changed direction.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Firefighters have surrounded the barn to contain the flames.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58They're limiting its spread.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02They will have to stay on the farm, monitoring the flames,

0:13:02 > 0:13:07for at least 24 hours to ensure the hay burns itself out safely.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10It's going to be a long night for the farmer and his valuable herd.

0:13:10 > 0:13:16The farmer seemed to be very pleased that we'd saved his cattle.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20He was a very nice guy, and he'd lost a summer's work

0:13:20 > 0:13:24of hay collecting. But 174 beef bulls at £1,000 apiece,

0:13:24 > 0:13:28as far as he was concerned, his main business was intact,

0:13:28 > 0:13:32and so he was able to continue his business, and I believe he still is.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Fascinating, and we have Anton with us to talk us through that.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Interesting, I thought, that you treated the animals like hazards,

0:13:43 > 0:13:46potential hazards to the firefighters.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Because they're entire bull, they are extremely hazardous.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53All right in their own environment on a gentle, calm day,

0:13:53 > 0:13:56where there's nothing else going on, but with a barn fire

0:13:56 > 0:14:00and 20, 30 firefighters around, their stress levels increase dramatically.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05And a bull going rampant is a potential life-threat.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07A single bull let out loose is a dangerous hazard

0:14:07 > 0:14:10to a firefighter or any person,

0:14:10 > 0:14:14but when you've got 175 of them, things could get right out of hand.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17I was impressed that you went to such enormous lengths

0:14:17 > 0:14:20to try and protect the farmer's livelihood,

0:14:20 > 0:14:23rather than just going, "Fire. Put it out, chuck water at it,

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- whatever damage." - In that particular scenario,

0:14:26 > 0:14:30the barn had to be contained. It is virtually impossible to put a barn fire out

0:14:30 > 0:14:35without creating a massive environmental problem with water run-off and that sort of thing.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39The run-off you were worried would cause damage to the livestock,

0:14:39 > 0:14:42but why didn't you chuck the bulls out into the field?

0:14:42 > 0:14:46The water could have caused them to get pneumonia.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Because they're in such a protected environment,

0:14:49 > 0:14:51they're not used to being exposed to the elements,

0:14:51 > 0:14:54and if they went into a field they'd be eating grass,

0:14:54 > 0:14:57and their stomach's simply not developed to take grass.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Because they're brought up on feed. - On hard feed, concentrate,

0:15:01 > 0:15:05- all their lives.- Fascinating! They were aggressive, weren't they?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Because it wasn't that normal day...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11But also, because you'd put one lot of bulls

0:15:11 > 0:15:14that had never met the other lot all in together...

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Despite living a lot together, when you put one tribe in with another

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- they went berserk at each other. - You've summed it up perfectly.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25The tribal thing kicks in. Those bulls would have been bought in

0:15:25 > 0:15:28at three months old, so they're in effect young boys.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32They're then raised for perhaps 12, 13, 14 months.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35They go from 100 kilos to 500 to 600 kilos.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38The testosterone level rises dramatically,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41and within their own herd there is a pecking order.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- There is within every species. - When you put them all together,

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- they were sorting it out.- Certainly. A massive fight then kicks off.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Fantastic! It's just like Saturday night on Southampton high street

0:15:52 > 0:15:55with all the football supporters from different teams.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Young men, too much testosterone. The animal kingdom's the same!

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Thank you, Anton. Louise?

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Not all animal rescues are as serious as dealing with those bulls.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08Sarah's got a story about a more prickly customer. You OK to talk?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Yes. - You've got a story about a hedgehog

0:16:10 > 0:16:14which was caught on CCTV with a bit of a problem. What was going on?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17It was ever so sweet. Often we see things on the cameras here,

0:16:17 > 0:16:20and one evening we saw a hedgehog run into a spot of bother.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24He had got his little snout stuck in a Styrofoam cup.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28We watched him for a few minutes, and he wasn't getting out of it,

0:16:28 > 0:16:31so we thought, "We have to do something about this."

0:16:31 > 0:16:34We called up one of the police officers in the area. It was a quiet night,

0:16:34 > 0:16:38so there was nothing going on. We explained the problem,

0:16:38 > 0:16:40and we watched a few minutes later as they turned up.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44The blue lights were flashing. I don't know if the sirens were going

0:16:44 > 0:16:49because we haven't got sound. They got out with their high-visibility jackets on, hats,

0:16:49 > 0:16:51- coned off the road... - Coned it off.- Did everything.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54We were all laughing. Had a bit of a look at the hedgehog,

0:16:54 > 0:16:58then just gently took the cup off its little nose, and it ran away,

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- and we all cheered in here. - It was a quiet night.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- That's why you sent them. - That's right.- Was he OK?

0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Yes, he was fine.- Thank you!- Thanks.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10When Rachel Southgate was frantically trying to help her husband

0:17:10 > 0:17:14after a seizure, Rachel asked her five-year-old son to bring her the phone.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17But to help his mum, Jamie goes one step further

0:17:17 > 0:17:20and calls 999 himself.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22JAMIE TALKS TO OPERATOR

0:19:07 > 0:19:09RACHEL SPEAKS

0:19:29 > 0:19:33You heard the voice. Here he is. Jamie's here with us. Good work!

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Had you been practising for that?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38No. I just did it!

0:19:38 > 0:19:41You'd told him before, hadn't you, how to dial 999?

0:19:41 > 0:19:44You didn't expect he'd have to do that, though.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47We weren't sure he'd be able to do it if he needed to,

0:19:47 > 0:19:50but obviously he proved us wrong. He was very good.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52What was it like when the ambulance arrived?

0:19:52 > 0:19:56- How did it arrive? Was it quick? - Yeah. It was... It was shot

0:19:56 > 0:20:00right to the house! It was shot!

0:20:01 > 0:20:06- Quickly to the house?- It could be shot straight into the computer.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Really? It was that fast?- Yeah!

0:20:09 > 0:20:11It went shot!

0:20:11 > 0:20:14You'd been practising about the 999.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- When you called, were they very quick answering the phone?- Mm, yeah.

0:20:17 > 0:20:23- Yeah? - It just rang, then they answered it,

0:20:23 > 0:20:25then I said them words...

0:20:25 > 0:20:29And you knew where you lived and you knew James's name, as well.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Yeah.- Very good. James, what do you think of what he did?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- You were in a serious situation. - I didn't know what was happening,

0:20:36 > 0:20:39obviously, but I think it's absolutely amazing

0:20:39 > 0:20:43for what a five year old can do, and ring an ambulance,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46and obviously I've just heard the call now.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49To say what he said, and just absolutely...

0:20:49 > 0:20:53- It was so clear, as well! - It was, and how he knew the address,

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- and absolutely everything. - And just tell us quickly -

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- you've found out now what's wrong with you.- Yeah, a form of epilepsy,

0:21:01 > 0:21:06and it could have been brought on by... I had viral meningitis.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10- As a mum, are you... He's a talkative chap, aren't you, Jamie?- Yeah.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Are you impressed by what he did? - Very. Very proud of him.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Excellent.- It's wonderful.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Jamie, you've told everybody at school about this now.

0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Yeah, in assembly. - What did you tell them?

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Told them that my stepdad was poorly,

0:21:25 > 0:21:28and he collapsed,

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- but Miss Higley done it first, though.- Yeah.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35And you really helped to save him, didn't you?

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Yeah. And then, after Miss Higley done it,

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I just came right out to the front and then told everybody,

0:21:42 > 0:21:46- and it freaked me out!- Did it? THEY LAUGH

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Do you want to be an ambulance driver?

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Because the ambulance went very fast. What do you want to be, then?

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Fireman.- Do you? Well, we've got something you might like.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Have a look at this. For being so brave...

0:21:59 > 0:22:03- Oh, wow!- Thank you very much, all of you, for coming in.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Are you going to put it on? Brilliant. Good luck to you, Jamie.

0:22:12 > 0:22:17Still to come on Real Rescues - who'd have thought watering the garden was so dangerous?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I just felt so abandoned in this water,

0:22:20 > 0:22:25and it was oozing round me and I couldn't get out of it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29I just was amazed that I was in such a predicament

0:22:29 > 0:22:31all from my own doing.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35And the very long arm of the law. He doesn't know it yet,

0:22:35 > 0:22:37but this man is being followed by a police spotter plane

0:22:37 > 0:22:41and it's all to do with a pair of bolt-cutters he's carrying.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Er, we're going to see if we can... We can. Andrea's off the phone.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51She's just taken... or had a very interesting call in...

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Acting Sergeant, by the way, in case you were wondering.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- ..er, about a robbery. - That's correct, yeah.

0:22:58 > 0:23:03We've had a call in that, basically, a male's entered a bank,

0:23:03 > 0:23:06and he's threatened staff, saying he's got a weapon,

0:23:06 > 0:23:08and he's also demanded money from them.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12They've given him money, he's now left the bank,

0:23:12 > 0:23:16and we've got reports that he's thrown all the money in the air,

0:23:16 > 0:23:20and two members of the public are restraining him, waiting for police to arrive.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22A citizen's arrest, holding him down!

0:23:22 > 0:23:27We're en route to attend, but that's the report we've got at the moment.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Fantastic. Can we come back to you? - Yes.- It's all going on in here!

0:23:31 > 0:23:35Thank you very much. Right. We'll move on in the meantime.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39A man is reported missing with serious injuries somewhere deep in Hampshire woodland.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43They're worried he's a risk to himself and doesn't want to be found.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Boxer One Zero, the police spotter plane, is launched.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Dog-handlers on the ground are in contact with the crew.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50The search is on.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00It's late at night, and the air-support crew is using its thermal-imaging camera

0:24:00 > 0:24:03to search for unlikely heat sources on the ground.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06As they fly over a heavily wooded area

0:24:06 > 0:24:09close to where the man has gone missing, they spot something.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12"Yeah. We found a heat source which is near to Ash Road,

0:24:12 > 0:24:16which we can't distinguish. We need to get it looked at."

0:24:16 > 0:24:19"It's about 20 yards into the woodland, though."

0:24:20 > 0:24:24At this stage it's impossible to say whether or not the heat source

0:24:24 > 0:24:28is a person. They need the police and search dog on the ground

0:24:28 > 0:24:31to move in closer, but they're working in darkness

0:24:31 > 0:24:34and can see very little through the trees and dense undergrowth.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37"Yeah. One Zero to the dog unit."

0:24:37 > 0:24:41"Immediately to your left, about 20 feet. Over."

0:24:41 > 0:24:43"You're moving away from it. It's behind you."

0:24:45 > 0:24:48With clear vision of both the target and the dog team,

0:24:48 > 0:24:52the air-support team can guide the handler towards his goal.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55"One Zero to the dog unit. Two feet to your left,

0:24:55 > 0:24:57and you're almost upon it. Over."

0:24:57 > 0:25:01"Yeah. This is extremely thick, er...

0:25:01 > 0:25:04undergrowth, and, er...a tree."

0:25:04 > 0:25:07"I'm trying to get my torch into it. Over."

0:25:07 > 0:25:10"Yeah. You're almost looking directly at the heat source."

0:25:10 > 0:25:14They're almost on top of the target, but just can't see or get to it

0:25:14 > 0:25:16through the dense brambles.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20"It appears, if you come back out onto the communal parking area

0:25:20 > 0:25:25and then go three feet to your left, there seems to be a way in there."

0:25:26 > 0:25:30It's a frustrating job for dog and handler.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35"Yeah. I can't, um..."

0:25:35 > 0:25:38"It's totally thick. I'm going to call in my dog

0:25:38 > 0:25:41and try and get in myself."

0:25:42 > 0:25:44"Go ahead."

0:25:44 > 0:25:47"I should be about on it now, shouldn't I?"

0:25:47 > 0:25:50"It's about six feet ahead of you."

0:25:52 > 0:25:56"Seems to be underneath a fallen tree or a branch. Over."

0:25:56 > 0:25:59The policeman on the ground has finally made it through -

0:25:59 > 0:26:01and this is no false alert.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04"Can I have an ambulance urgently? Over."

0:26:04 > 0:26:08"Can you get me an officer here with a first-aid kit immediately?"

0:26:08 > 0:26:09"Roger."

0:26:09 > 0:26:12"Any officer with a first-aid kit, please."

0:26:12 > 0:26:16A first-aider on the ground moves in immediately.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20Within minutes an ambulance will be on-site to take the injured man to hospital,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22but without the help of the air-support unit,

0:26:22 > 0:26:27he could have been out in the woods all night, with devastating consequences.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30"Thank you very much for your assistance. Very grateful. Over."

0:26:31 > 0:26:35The man made a full recovery from his injuries.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38- This is Andy Sparshott, who was on that operation.- Hi.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Fascinating thing, that you could get so close,

0:26:41 > 0:26:43especially with the dog-handler,

0:26:43 > 0:26:48and the guys on the ground not know they were right next to the person

0:26:48 > 0:26:50- they were looking for. - That's correct.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53We're using thermal imagery to see this thermal return,

0:26:53 > 0:26:57within this wooded area. We didn't realise ourselves

0:26:57 > 0:27:00how dense the wooded area was, and we're trying to direct the handler

0:27:00 > 0:27:04to the heat source we're seeing, and it wasn't till the handler

0:27:04 > 0:27:08got down on all fours and climbed in through the woods that we realised how dense it was.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Why didn't the dog smell him, know where he was?

0:27:11 > 0:27:15The way the dogs work, they're either picking up the scent

0:27:15 > 0:27:18of the route the person would have taken through the woods,

0:27:18 > 0:27:23or they're picking up the scent of their clothing, or what have you.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26We think that we just directed the dog-handler into a different route.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- So the dog never crossed the scent path.- No.

0:27:29 > 0:27:34- Oh, I see.- Actually, the dog-handler was sent through a car park

0:27:34 > 0:27:37to the edge of the wood, where we saw this heat source.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Looking at that one that you were doing there,

0:27:40 > 0:27:42it looked more like a sheep. It was a blob.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46How could you tell it was a person? Doesn't a sheep look the same?

0:27:46 > 0:27:50That's the difficulty. Looking at a stationary thermal object,

0:27:50 > 0:27:53when you have overhanging trees,

0:27:53 > 0:27:56that thermal return is an obscure shape.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59So if it was somebody walking through the woods,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02we'd be able to tell, but if it is stationary,

0:28:02 > 0:28:05sometimes it is difficult to determine

0:28:05 > 0:28:08whether it is a deer or another animal or even a compost heap,

0:28:08 > 0:28:12because compost heaps are, er, a non-uniform shape,

0:28:12 > 0:28:16- they give off heat... - Have you ever directed anyone

0:28:16 > 0:28:20- to something...- Yes. Unfortunately I have to claim that I have.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24A colleague who I was on patrol with, who's now a dog-handler,

0:28:24 > 0:28:28and he's gone on to the dog unit and I've gone on to the aeroplane,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31we both were sent to a burglary incident

0:28:31 > 0:28:34where the offender was jumping somebody's back gardens.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37The burglar was contained within the rear garden of one house,

0:28:37 > 0:28:41which we were flying round. I was on the thermal-imagery camera,

0:28:41 > 0:28:45and saw this heat source secreted between a swinging garden hammock

0:28:45 > 0:28:47- and the back fence. - Obviously someone hiding.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51Of course. Again, you know, your mind's playing games with you.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55- What was it?- I was convinced, and it turned out to be the family rabbit.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59So thankfully the police dog was on a lead.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02Or it would have had it for lunch. Fascinating stuff.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05In case you're wondering how they don't send them over cliffs,

0:29:05 > 0:29:09- you've got maps so you can be sure. - We've got mapping in the aircraft

0:29:09 > 0:29:11so we can tell where the camera is looking

0:29:11 > 0:29:15- on the mapping.- All right.- We know what wooded area we're looking at.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18We've run out of time. New information to find out.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Thank you, Andy. We've got to move on now, unfortunately.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25Yes. Earlier on, we saw seven- year-old Lucy's heart racing along

0:29:25 > 0:29:29at over 200 beats per minute, and you can see the pulse in her neck.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33Lucy's here, with Meggan, her sister, and her mum.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- And you're feeling much better today, aren't you?- Yeah.- Thank goodness!

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Lucy had the same problem a week later, but this time

0:29:39 > 0:29:43doctors were able to record her heart rhythms, as I found out.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47I'm with Lucy's doctor, Dr Roman. This is an example, isn't it,

0:29:47 > 0:29:51- of Lucy's heart when it's normal. - Yes. This is an electrocardiogram

0:29:51 > 0:29:53of Lucy's heart during a normal rhythm.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56So we can compare that to what it might look like

0:29:56 > 0:29:59- during an episode, which is quite different.- Yes.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02This is a very abnormal cardiac tracing,

0:30:02 > 0:30:05or electrocardiogram, which shows the heart is racing along

0:30:05 > 0:30:10at around 240 to 280 beats per moment...er, per minute.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14This is not something for... The heart shouldn't be able to do this.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17This suggests that her heart has an abnormal electric pathway,

0:30:17 > 0:30:22and this is a very abnormal, narrow, complex tachycardia.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25So you've measured it on this machine.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Is it dangerous for her? She was feeling pain

0:30:27 > 0:30:30- and was quite worried by it, wasn't she?- Yes.

0:30:30 > 0:30:35It's not dangerous, in that this is something very treatable.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39It is dangerous if it was to remain unchecked for many hours

0:30:39 > 0:30:41or a few days. It can affect the heart function.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45But usually this is very well tolerated in a very young child.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48This is an eminently treatable condition,

0:30:48 > 0:30:51and in Lucy's case we've started drug therapy.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53She's on a beta-blocker.

0:30:53 > 0:30:56And in the meantime, when she has these...?

0:30:56 > 0:30:59We will obviously monitor how many she has.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01We hope that she never has any long runs

0:31:01 > 0:31:03of abnormal electric pathway,

0:31:03 > 0:31:07and we hope that she'll be well controlled on medication.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10But the outlook is quite good. The prognosis is good,

0:31:10 > 0:31:14- and I'm sure she'll be fine in the long term.- OK. Thank you.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17That's good news, that you're going to be OK, Lucy.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Tell us a bit about these attacks. What does it feel like to you?

0:31:20 > 0:31:23It feels quite...

0:31:23 > 0:31:27scaring to me, because deep down, I'm not used to it, not yet.

0:31:27 > 0:31:32But quite up in my body, I'm used to it.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35When I'm used to it, I feel quite OK,

0:31:35 > 0:31:38but when I'm not, I just feel...bleh! Gross.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42Watching the film, you can see the pulse in her neck.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- It's got to be frightening as a mum. - It is scary,

0:31:45 > 0:31:47because I don't know what she feels.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50I don't know what she's going through.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53I can only keep her calm and deal with the situation as it's happening.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57And that day when we were filming, you were off sick from school!

0:31:57 > 0:32:01- It must be worrying for you too. - It was, because I wasn't with it

0:32:01 > 0:32:03on that day, and I was calling up everybody,

0:32:03 > 0:32:07telling them what was going on, and it was really quite scary for me.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Are you getting used to it now? - Um, sort of. Yes and no.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15- What's the "no" bit? - The "no" bit is...

0:32:15 > 0:32:19..part of it is telling me to try, stop it,

0:32:19 > 0:32:23but the other half of my body is trying to ignore it.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26- So I can't really do it, so... - It's a really tough one, isn't it?

0:32:26 > 0:32:30- It's not life-threatening, is it? She can live with it.- Yes.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33- How does it affect everyday life? - It doesn't, because we don't let it.

0:32:33 > 0:32:40We don't know...what brings them on, so we spoke to Dr Roman.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43He said we don't have to stop her doing anything.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45She can do any activity she wants to do.

0:32:45 > 0:32:49It's just that you tend to keep a special eye just in case.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53That's good news. Thanks for coming in. I'm glad you feel OK today.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Thank you. Now, we're used to adrenaline-pumped activities

0:32:56 > 0:33:01like hang-gliding or rock-climbing leading to emergency calls here on Real Rescues,

0:33:01 > 0:33:05but who'd have thought that watering your garden could be dangerous?

0:33:08 > 0:33:11Ambulance crew Rebecca Slone and Anita Hart

0:33:11 > 0:33:13are heading out to rescue a woman in her 70s

0:33:13 > 0:33:16who's fallen down her stairs.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21Rapid-response paramedic Steve Mitchell has already arrived.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24- She is outside. - This is the lovely Jean.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Hello, Jean!- Lovely 73-year-old lady.

0:33:26 > 0:33:30As you can see, she's coming down the stairs to water the plants,

0:33:30 > 0:33:35clutching a watering can. She's managed... She nearly got there.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38She's got to the bottom or second-last step, slipped,

0:33:38 > 0:33:41- and we think her left foot's got caught...- Ooh!

0:33:41 > 0:33:43..under there.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Jean caught her ankle in her stair lift.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Luckily neighbours heard her and raised the alarm.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52Jean was carrying a two-gallon watering can down the stairs

0:33:52 > 0:33:57when she fell. She ended up stranded as well as completely soaked through.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01I just felt so abandoned in this water,

0:34:01 > 0:34:06you know, and it was oozing round me and I couldn't get out of it.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09'I just was amazed that I was in such a predicament

0:34:09 > 0:34:13'all from my own doing!'

0:34:13 > 0:34:17Dandy, Jean's little dog, has been by her side ever since she fell.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20He was obviously standing guard, you know.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24He just didn't want to go. He wanted to go to the hospital with me,

0:34:24 > 0:34:27but I couldn't take Dandy with me.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29It looks like Jean's ankle might be broken.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33The paramedics need to immobilise it before they move her.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36I'll put a splint there. It's one of those that sucks the air out

0:34:36 > 0:34:38and goes hard. All right?

0:34:38 > 0:34:41Splint in place, they can now get Jean out of the wet

0:34:41 > 0:34:43and onto the stretcher.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Stretcher here, then stand up on the good leg?

0:34:46 > 0:34:49My cunning plan was,

0:34:49 > 0:34:52maybe across there somehow,

0:34:52 > 0:34:55and then hopefully stand on the good one.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Little bit of a...- Bit of a hop, twist and jump.- Dancer's spin.

0:35:01 > 0:35:05After feeling so helpless, Jean is very relieved to be safe in the dry.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Can you feel it? - Oh, I'm feeling fine.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11You're not supposed to be enjoying yourself. Pretend to look sick!

0:35:11 > 0:35:14When I got on the stretcher,

0:35:14 > 0:35:17that was the most amazing feeling of relief.

0:35:17 > 0:35:23It was a release from being imprisoned in that little space, you know?

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Once on board, Rebecca can carry out some routine tests

0:35:27 > 0:35:29before they head off to the hospital.

0:35:29 > 0:35:34Jean realises that her trip is going to become something of a talking point.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38- You'll be the talk of the town. - The highlight of the coffee morning!

0:35:40 > 0:35:45- Oh, you'll be the star. Get them all to sign your cast.- I will!

0:35:45 > 0:35:47THEY LAUGH

0:35:51 > 0:35:54The last time Jean was in hospital was when her son was born,

0:35:54 > 0:35:58and he is nearly 50! I bet there've been a few changes since then. Nick.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02Thank you. I wanted to catch up on the call that we had earlier

0:36:02 > 0:36:05with Andrea here. The bank robbery - last we heard,

0:36:05 > 0:36:09members of the public jumped all over this person.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13That's correct. Officers attended and apprehended the male, and he's now in custody.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Good! And everybody all right? Nobody hurt?- No-one at all,

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- and there was no weapon.- How do you feel about people having a go?

0:36:19 > 0:36:23We encourage members of the public not to get involved with people

0:36:23 > 0:36:27that are possibly dangerous, so the best thing to do is dial 999

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- and inform us. - However, they did good, didn't they?

0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Very good, yes. - Smashing. Thank you, Andrea.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35That's exciting this morning, isn't it? OK.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38We're returning now to the police air-support unit.

0:36:38 > 0:36:42They've launched their plane to look for a man who's escaped custody,

0:36:42 > 0:36:45and when a 999 call comes in from a tool-hire company,

0:36:45 > 0:36:48it could be just the piece of information the police need.

0:36:51 > 0:36:53Once in the air, they quickly zoom in on this man.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57The bolt-cutters he's just hired are nearly as big as he is.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04There's no mistaking him, but he has no idea he's been spotted

0:37:04 > 0:37:07by police overhead.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15The bolt-cutters are the largest the hire-company provides.

0:37:15 > 0:37:21The police believe there's a good chance it could have something to do with the handcuffed escapee.

0:37:21 > 0:37:25The police plane follows his every move and passes all the details

0:37:25 > 0:37:29down to officers on the ground, but the man is still completely unaware

0:37:29 > 0:37:32he's in their sights.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41The bolt-cutters must be getting heavy,

0:37:41 > 0:37:45but this man is clearly on a mission, with no time to lose.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57As he reaches a crossroads, he seems to be a bit lost.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14With the help of some new directions, he sets off once more.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30The man is now retracing his steps.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33He's clearly not taking the bolt-cutters home.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37It's looking likely they're destined for someone in need.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40The police are hoping he'll lead them straight to the man in handcuffs.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54He's so intent on the task in hand,

0:38:54 > 0:38:57he doesn't even notice the police car

0:38:57 > 0:39:00that's been called into the area to monitor him.

0:39:04 > 0:39:09He's now made contact with a woman who seems to be waiting for him.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18As ground units close in on the pair,

0:39:18 > 0:39:20a plainclothes officer makes his move.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39And there he is - the escaped man in handcuffs.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50Far from getting his hands freed,

0:39:50 > 0:39:54this man is heading straight back to custody.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04Andy, who was the cameraman in the plane at the time of that incident.

0:40:04 > 0:40:08It's extraordinary to watch. What I thought was fascinating,

0:40:08 > 0:40:11apart from "Can I have a pair of cutters about this big, please"...

0:40:11 > 0:40:14He must have gone into the hire store.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17But because you were able to watch,

0:40:17 > 0:40:21you were able to keep everybody in, like, a moving disc around him,

0:40:21 > 0:40:24so wherever he went, you kept the police outside it.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28We'd engineered that. We knew that there was a previous incident,

0:40:28 > 0:40:30the guy that had escaped custody with the handcuffs.

0:40:30 > 0:40:34There was a call about somebody with a huge pair of bolt-croppers,

0:40:34 > 0:40:38and when you get airborne and see the image of this person,

0:40:38 > 0:40:41you didn't think they were going to be that big.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45But we knew he was going to take us to the guy that had escaped,

0:40:45 > 0:40:49so we'd told the police officers in the area to stay well away.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51We had visual on the guy with the bolt-croppers,

0:40:51 > 0:40:55- and he took us to the escapee. - How come he didn't know?

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Why doesn't he think, "Why is that plane following me?"

0:40:58 > 0:41:01I think it's because he's more conscious

0:41:01 > 0:41:03that he's got a big pair of bolt-croppers,

0:41:03 > 0:41:07and he doesn't want to be spotted by any police driving around,

0:41:07 > 0:41:09or he knows he's going to get stopped.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12So he was looking around for police officers

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- rather than being aware there was a plane.- How high up, though?

0:41:15 > 0:41:19- 2,000 feet.- Great pictures, there, from 2,000 feet.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22I tell you what - we can find out how loud it sounds,

0:41:22 > 0:41:24because on the monitor here, we've got live feed

0:41:24 > 0:41:27from the spotter plane on patrol and overhead,

0:41:27 > 0:41:31and a very suspicious character is on the screen, looking back up.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35That's our Louise outside. Can you see them? Can you hear them?

0:41:35 > 0:41:39I can, but if I was doing my shopping or getting into my car,

0:41:39 > 0:41:43I wouldn't bother looking up. But also, they've been doing wide circles

0:41:43 > 0:41:46for the last couple of minutes or so, and I would never assume

0:41:46 > 0:41:50that they could see me on the ground, because I can't see them clearly

0:41:50 > 0:41:53at all up there. And they can see me, can they?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56We can see you absolutely and totally clearly.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58It's now panning across to the rest of the crew.

0:41:58 > 0:42:03I understand a job's come in. Would you like to let them know on the radio and tell them they're free?

0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Apparently a call has just come in. - Fox One Zero from Charlie One.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Thank them very much from us. - OK. You're welcome.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14Extraordinary that you can be far up in the sky, looking down, and get such clear pictures.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17- You're free to resume. Thanks. - There you go.

0:42:17 > 0:42:21- "Thank you, Fox One Zero Fox." - And there they go.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24So what happened in the end with this guy?

0:42:24 > 0:42:27The bolt-cropper man was stopped as he approached some flats.

0:42:27 > 0:42:33We knew the guy that had escaped custody was within those flats, within the communal stairwell area.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36The plainclothes guy asked the woman, zoomed round the corner

0:42:36 > 0:42:40- and grabbed him. - We got the bolt-cropper guy.

0:42:40 > 0:42:43The guy that had escaped lawful custody was re-arrested

0:42:43 > 0:42:47for the criminal-damage incident that he'd originally committed,

0:42:47 > 0:42:51- but a more serious offence of escaping custody.- Fantastic kit.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Remember, Louise - they're watching you.- Thanks, Nick.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56More from Real Rescues next time. Goodbye!
