Every time any of the 400 lifeboats across the UK and Ireland are called out on a shout, the crews on board must manage a whole range of emotions - and face their fears.

In north Wales, the Conwy crew respond to reports of two people - including a young boy - who have been caught out by the tide and are now struggling to stay afloat. Just along the coast, the crew at Flint come to the aid of a yacht which has lost its moorings and is now stuck under a railway bridge with its owner still on board.
