We’re back on your screens tonight for another episode of the BAFTA award winning Ambulance. πŸ˜„

In tonight's instalment, the shift begins with an emergency call to an unresponsive patient. Crewmates, Jess and Paul arrive on scene to find blood on the door so approach with caution.

In control, Joe and Meg are responsible for 56 ambulance resources covering South and East Lancashire, including crewmates Mandy and Lauren who are dispatched to a local boatyard.

They find a 74-year-old man who has spent two days on the floor before being discovered by a neighbour. Due to the patient’s injuries, the crew must attempt a tricky extrication, before transporting him to hospital.

As the first shift draws to a close dispatcher Joe and the team in control respond to a category one call – the most life-threatening - for a 17-year-old patient in cardiac arrest. As Joe hands the job over to the night shift he reflects on the challenges of working in control and reveals that his ambition is to become a paramedic, working hands on with those in need.

BBC One, 9pm.

πŸš‘ Ambulance continues tonight on BBC One at 9pm!

Tonight's episode sees the North West Ambulance Service demonstrate the variety of challenges faced by the ambulance service across a busy weekend shift, with limited access to out-of-hours services and an increase in alcohol- and drug-related calls. We see the two extremes of life on the front line, as paramedics hold the hands of those most affected through the very worst times of their life, but also, in one case, the most life-affirming moment of birth.
