Experts in Action: For Those in Peril...

on BBC One London

Three Months with the Bridlington Lifeboat
'Why do men go out on lifeboats when they get frightened and they get cold and some of them get sea-sick? There is no logical answer' John King, Coxswain.

For Those in Peril... sets out into a January gale; brings a sick man off a tanker; plunges out through the big waves to a sinking yacht... and the nearest it comes to an answer are the words of George Travers, Second Coxswain: 'You feel rough, you swear blind you'll never go to sea no more, but if somebody can just come up and say "thank you" for saving their lives, that means a hell of a lot.'
