The Porthcawl crew鈥檚 training night is disrupted when a call comes from a dog walker who has spotted a surfer in trouble below the cliffs at nearby Rest Bay.

During the peak of a cyclone known as Storm Amy, Bridlington鈥檚 lifeboat is tasked to a Dutch trawler that has lost power 13 miles off the Yorkshire coast.

In Ireland, an urgent call comes in to the Crosshaven crew from a yacht taking part in a local race; on board, an elderly sailor is reported to have broken his leg.

The Calshot crew face a tense search in thick fog for a motorboat with engine failure - somewhere in the busy shipping lanes of the Solent.

And reports of a submerged car in the Thames put the Chiswick crew on red alert.
