BBC Two - Saving Lives at Sea, Series 9, Every Second Counts

The Porthcawl crew attempt to resuscitate a man who’s been swept out to sea.

In Porthcawl, a fisherman has been dragged lifeless out of the sea by bystanders. The lifeboat crew race to the beach and join the desperate attempts to resuscitate him.

Over 5,000 lifeboat volunteers across the UK and Ireland are ready to answer the call to save lives at sea. From the moment their pagers sound, they know that every second counts.

In Porthcawl, a fisherman has been dragged lifeless out of the sea by bystanders, and the lifeboat crew join the desperate attempts to resuscitate him. In Lytham St Annes, a yacht has lost control in rough seas and is in danger of breaking up on the nearby Blackpool Beach. On the south coast of England, the Poole crew are paged at 2.00 to reports that a man has fallen into the harbour. And in Portishead, a 30-tonne barge has broken down in the Bristol Channel - and is heading straight for the Prince of Wales Bridge.
