Today's Choices: 999 Lifesavers 8.00pm BBC1
A small child attacked by a swarm of bees and two surfers swept away by a riptide are two of the near-tragedies that are re-enacted in the opening programme of this new series. Michael Buerk is joined by a face fresh to terrestrial television, Donna Bernard, to present the dramatic reconstructions.
Alongside the school outing and surfing trips that became nightmares, there is also the story of Paul Tyson, a fairground worker who collapsed. We're all used to seeing defibrillators giving electric shocks to a patient's chest in hospital dramas, but they are far from being everyday items of equipment.
It was fortunate, then, that a St John Ambulance crew had been trained to use the new mobile equipment just three weeks before. Without the defibrillator's help to restore his heart rhythms, Paul Tyson would have died.
