BBC Two - Saving Lives at Sea, Series 8, Motley Crew

The Blackpool crew respond to reports of a teenager who has been swept out to sea.

In Blackpool, the crew respond to reports of a teenager who has been swept out to sea within sight of the main beach.

For generations, the RNLI was almost exclusively crewed by fishermen and seafarers. But now, the volunteers are from all walks of life, with one common purpose: saving lives at sea.

In Blackpool, the crew respond to reports of a teenager who has been swept out to sea within sight of the main beach. On the Kent coast, the Margate crew begin a frantic search to find two paddleboarders - a father and son - who have drifted two miles out to sea.

In Porthcawl, a crew member’s wedding is interrupted when the pagers sound for two people cut off by the tide. And in Dunbar, on
Scotland’s east coast, the crew receive reports of a dog stranded on rocks, hundreds of metres from its owner on shore.
