Series 4: 10 x 60’
Every day around the UK, an army of unpaid volunteers put their lives on the line to try and save complete strangers. This series tells the story of these ordinary men and women who are doing something extraordinary – giving up their free time to staff more than 200 Royal National Lifeboat Institution stations right across the country and provide a vital rescue service on Britain’s waters.
From the north of Scotland to the south coast of England, in holiday resorts, working harbours, and on the River Thames, volunteers are ready to launch their boats and race to the rescue within minutes of a cry for help coming in – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whatever the weather.
