Synopsis
Filmed with the emergency services in Blackpool, this powerful new 10-part documentary series reveals how Britain is changing through the eyes of police, fire and ambulance teams on the front line responding to 999 calls. This episode focuses on an issue that is keeping the emergency services busier than ever: people's state of mind. A quarter of the UK population will suffer from mental health problems at some time in their lives. And with the number of psychiatric beds falling by 80% in a generation, inevitably the emergency services are dealing with more people with serious mental health problems. PC Dave Donafee is called out to a Halloween party that's turned into a street fight and he comes face-to-face with one of his 'regular customers' who threatens to take on six policemen. Paramedic Sue McGrath is called to a man with a history of faking injury. Tonight he's deliberately run into a taxi and he's previously thrown himself down the stairs. Another regular caller, who claims to have taken 40 pills, requires an emergency motorcade to take him to hospital - a cry for help with a big price tag. Meanwhile there's a race to come to the aid of PC Stuart Gornall when he's confronted by a man wielding a large knife. And when a body is found outside a block of flats, having fallen from the 14th floor, all three emergency services are called. They must face a traumatic situation and piece together what's happened. Is it the result of foul play, or the tragic result of someone losing the battle with their inner demons?, Series revealing how Britain is changing through the eyes of police, fire and ambulance teams on the front line responding to 999 calls.
