Yorkshire Air 999 Returns with Brand New Episodes This October

Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s hit documentary series Yorkshire Air 999 is set to return to TV screens this autumn, with a brand-new run of eight episodes airing weekly from Friday 3rd October at 9PM on the Really channel and streaming on Discovery+.

Narrated by acclaimed actor David Morrissey, the opening episode follows the story of Stephen Rathbone, from Leyburn, who found himself in a life-threatening situation after being pinned beneath his vintage tractor on a remote hillside. Trapped for over two hours, Stephen suffered eight broken ribs, a fractured shoulder, a broken sternum and a punctured lung, before YAA’s critical care team, supported by North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, the North Yorkshire Ambulance Service, North Yorkshire Police and Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team, were able to free him and fly him to James Cook University Hospital for urgent care. His remarkable survival and recovery highlight the crucial role YAA plays in reaching patients quickly when every second counts.

Filmed with body-worn cameras, helicopter minicams and a multi-camera set-up at YAA’s Nostell Air Support Unit, Yorkshire Air 999 captures every moment as the charity’s pilots, technical crew members, paramedics and doctors respond to emergencies, from the first 999 call to the patient handover at hospital.
