Saving Lives at Sea is a British documentary series about the brave women and men of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), who form a formidable crew of unpaid volunteers striving to save the lives of victims of the sea’s harsh moods while risking their own. Cameras follow these heroes around to record some of the most extraordinary rescues through their eyes and those of the people they have saved.
The seventh season of Saving Lives at Sea launched on Thursday, August 25 2022 with Episode 1: Race Against Now. The latest episode to air was Episode 4 dubbed Pressure which was broadcast on September 15 in which the directors first took us to Bundoran on Ireland’s northwestern coast where the RNLI crew ran to the rescue of a teenage girl who has been swept out to the sea by a vicious rip current.
Then in Portishead, north of Somerset, we saw how a man who had fallen from a cliff as high as 30 feet suffered grave injuries, especially on his chest, and was immediately rushed to the emergency room. Moreover, a missing dog in Porthcawl across the Bristol Channel sent the RNLI crew on a snipe hunt. Finally, in Fraserburgh, a small fishing town on the northeastern coast of Scotland, the crew set about a search party to bring home local fishermen who had not returned to the harbor.
