Coastguard: Search and Rescue S3

For 200 years the Maritime and Coastguard Agency has been protecting Britain’s waters, be it rescuing people in desperate need, ensuring ships are safe to sail, keeping our seas clean or returning a wreck to its rightful owners.

In this primetime series Middlechild Productions follow some of the staff and volunteers over the summer and autumn of 2024. They see how they make sure seafarers are kept safe doing some of the most dangerous jobs in the world, how they enforce maritime law, protect the environment with counter pollution measures and see them respond to major incidents and natural disasters like flooding. Last year saw the agency respond to over 30,000 incidents and this year will be no different.

We worked with Middlechild in October, facilitating a shoot over at Newhaven Beach where they filmed the CRT team responding to a call out there.

With no release date yet for season 3, you can catch up on seasons 1 and 2 on My5.
