Air Medics - A Long Weekend

Get ready to be propelled into the skies for the ride of your life. This is a brand new, high-octane, helicopter emergency ambulance series set in the stunning landscape of the North of England. The Great North Air Ambulance's three helicopters carry specialist trauma doctors and paramedics to some of the most remote parts of Britain's landscape, reaching seriously injured patients in minutes. Air Medics follows every gritty moment with camera directors on scene and multiple mini-cams on board, combined with air-to-air filming recorded in high definition. As a result, this series is a mixture of mind-blowing cinematic landscapes, heart-warming stories of survival and extraordinary feats performed by ordinary, local heroes. It is a sunny bank holiday morning, and cars are hitting the roads in their thousands for a weekend break. But for some holidaymakers, a country jaunt can turn into a nightmare, as the crews of the Great North Air Ambulance know only too well. The Guardian of the North is called to a mysterious accident, where a woman has been discovered, having crashed in the holiday rush. She is lying bleeding in a wrecked car, and no one knows how long she has been there. A jolly trip to the countryside ends in a disastrous village crash for four teenagers; and when two bikers collide in a remote part of Cumbria, the air ambulance has to join forces with the giant Sea King helicopter in a desperate attempt to reach them.
