Airdate: Paramedics

New observational series Paramedics will premiere on Nine in early October.

Sam Johnson narrates the 10 part series produced by WTFN, following paramedics at Ambulance Victoria.

The series utilises up to 60 cameras rigged in ambulances, helicopters and on motorbikes.

“This incredible series has been two years in the making and finally lifts the veil on the amazing work these heroes do in our community. With more than two million emergency calls made every year in Victoria, this show gives you a whole new appreciation for paramedics,” said Johnson.

Meanwhile TEN also has Ambulance Australia on the way and Seven is yet to debut Emergency Call.

In episode one, Taz and rookie Amanda face a life-and-death scenario where every second counts in treating a man who collapsed after leaving a sauna. Meanwhile Jamie and Mike deliver friendly first aid to a colourful character having a tough time.

Natalie and Leonard find a novel way to lift an elderly patient’s spirits, and Matt and his helicopter crew make an emergency flight to Shepparton to save a two-year-old girl who has fallen unconscious and stopped breathing.

Thursday, October 4, at 8.30pm on Nine.
