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.'
A sea-salty documentary... a great half hour's viewing... (Daily Express)
