Renewed: Ambulance (UK)

UK observational series Ambulance has been renewed for a fifth season.

Expanding its coverage to paramedics in Liverpool and across the whole of Merseyside, Dragonfly Film and Television will produce 12 new episodes.

Beejal-Maya Patel, BBC Documentaries Commissioning Executive, says: “I’m really excited that Ambulance will be returning to BBC One for a fifth series, this time filmed in the North West during a crucial time for the emergency services. The programme’s dramatic 360 storytelling will reveal the pressures they are under as well as explore the bigger picture of the challenges facing society.”

Richard Bond, Creative Director of Dragonfly, says: “With the NHS facing unprecedented demands, this new series could not be more timely, and we’re privileged that NWAS have allowed our cameras back in to capture their extraordinary work on the frontline of the winter crisis.”

Ambulance airs locally on 10, which returns new episodes of the Australian edition next Tuesday.
