I thought the obviously valuable work of the medics was spoiled by the banal narration and the drive by the producer to over-dramatise every scenario.

Also, I couldn't help noticing that for every call, apart from the one in the Lake District, a land ambulance was either already on scene or arrived shortly after the air ambulance. Is the 'Golden Hour' mentioned that crucial or was it a case of justifying a very expensive asset?

The job in the Lake District looked like it was crying out for a proper SAR helo with a winch, why wasn't one of those used ? It looked like bl**dy hard work for the medics just to get to the casualty.

I am not criticising the GNAA's efforts as I would certainly be delighted to see them if I was in a crash. It's just that I expect higher production standards from the BBC.
