November 25, 2025

EVERY day across Yorkshire more than 3,000 people call 999 - and call handlers have to decide who gets help.

Now this tense and emotional series finale shines a flashing blue light on the 24-hour emergencies attended by paramedics around the county.

This week’s episode sees Yorkshire’s Air Ambulance, plus three more ambulances, dispatched to deliver hospital-level care at the roadside after a multi-vehicle road traffic accident. Critical care paramedic Zach, quickly prioritises 11-year-old Keean, who has suffered a traumatic head injury and a badly broken leg.
