Avsnitt 1Featured tonight are a 5-year-old girl who was trapped in a crushed car with just her hand poking from the wreckage; an ambulanceman who has to overcome his own fear of heights to save a casualty 100 feet up a radio mast; and a young man who survived underground for four hours in a 22-inch sewer pipe. - Avsnitt 5A5
Avsnitt 5Tonight: a terrible lorry crash requiring a long and difficult rescue that many thought no one could possibly survive; and practical tips on what to do if you are first at the scene of an accident. Also a rescue bid by helicopter pilots battling against hurricane force winds and 40 foot waves to rescue 51 workers marooned on a sinking oil rig in the North Sea. - Avsnitt 6A6
Avsnitt 6Tonight: a rescue deep underwater. Exploring the waters where First World War battleships were scuttled at Scapa Flow in the Orkneys, two experienced divers got into trouble when one of them became pinned to the seabed by a huge metal door. With no time to go for help, it was up to his friend to save him, struggling to free him as their air supply streamed away. Plus, a reconstruction of a house fire in Nottingham highlights the dangers of making hoax calls, and an off-duty fireman plucks three children from the grip of quicksand-like coal slurry in South Shields. - Avsnitt 8A8
Avsnitt 8Tonight: the story of a 9-year-old boy who spent five hours trapped in a tiny air bubble deep underground, a man whose life was saved by his briefcase after a bizarre train accident, and an extraordinary rescue in Bristol's city docks when a man in a wheelchair plunged into freezing water.
