BBC: Air Medics
 

Hello,

Sorry to bother you all, any idea when the BBC are planning to screen Air Medics?


Thank you,

Yes late October is what I was told when I asked at the GNAA Carlisle unit recently.

Should be good.What with Helicopter Heroes just finishing it will be interesting to see how both operations compare especially with them both being BBC based productions.Unlike HH we should see a bit of variety on the aircraft front as all three (Explorer,Bolkow,Dauphin)helicopters have been used for the series.

Air Medics
 

Air Medics is due to air on BBC 1, Friday 31st October at 8.30pm for 30 mins. It will run for 8 consecutive weeks (Fridays at 8.30pm). There is also a 1 hour special which has yet to be scheduled.

I hope this is of some help!

Wish i'd known about this programme as being a Television Sound Recordist I could have maybe got some work from them.......having said that if it was an independent production they probably didn't use one to save money!

Knievel - don't get too upset mate. If it's like all the other Police/AAmb programmes then all of the aircraft will sound like a Jet Ranger anyway....... and you'll get to hear the skidding and crashing cars!!:ugh:

Wonder which Trial that was at? Still that explains why the Cameras were already there when YAA dropped in to assist the Great North Dauphin!!

"Still that explains why the Cameras were already there when YAA dropped in to assist the Great North Dauphin!!"

If thats the 3 biker incident in North Yorks your refering to.The cameras were on board the YAA and not the GNAA. "Flaxton" should be able to confirm this.

Yes that's correct Barshifter, it was "our" crew filming the 3-biker incident. I believe that the GNAA filming was started (and maybe completed) in 2007. It happened to co-incide with the filming of the first YAA series which got out on air first (because we were better looking than the GNAA crew apparantly...) so the GNAA was held back for future transmission.

The YAA second series is currently being re-edited for evening transmission for later this year, so given that the GNAA series is due out end of October, I would imagine it will probably follow more or less straight on from that.

The YAA series has been well-received again, and has been re-commissioned for a further 20 programmes for next year, subject to YAS and YAA agreement.

Trauma overload!

Medics: Emergency Doctor
 

I have just seen that the East Anglian HEMS unit has a series on the National Geographic channel (Ch 526 for sky users) The next two episodes are due tonight/tomorrow morning at 12am.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned before:ok:

Flaxton

"because we were better looking than the GNAA crew apparently..."

The Crew do have their moments

Oh My God
 

Fantastic!!! Any Vacancies!!! Nice shot!!! :ok:

meant to be 31st oct.
has been cancelled by the beeb, thankfully

Maybe GNAAS-PR can shed some light on the mystery?

It is on the BBC EPG for freeview for Tonight and my HUMAX has got a Series link for the rest of the series so it looks like "lift off" :uhoh:(Sorry).

Great to see G-HEMS at work again - I love that machine !!! Nice new colours as well.

Some of the narration was a bit much, but certainly an interesting program. Well done guys

Someone should have avoided mentioning the "Golden Hour" to the producer: talk about obsessed!

Excellent aerial cinematography by Castle Air :ok:
