Michael Buerk presents some more dramatic stories of real-life rescues, revealing extraordinary heroism and bravery. In an "enhanced documentary" form, they combine actual footage of the rescues with dramatic reconstructions by the emergency services, actors and some of the people involved.

In tonight's programme, when a lift jams between floors in an Edinburgh tower block, a young man panics and climbs onto the lift roof. What happens next leaves him hanging over a 100ft drop as firefighters begin one of their most daring rescues. And a look at how two navy divers set out to save 40 men, women and children from a sinking ship off the Devon coast, but end up having to be rescued themselves. Plus tips on how you might save a life, and video reporter Fiona Foster out on the frontline with the rescue services.
