'You guys aren’t paid enough to take this cr**': BBC Ambulance viewers left furious at scenes
Viewers of BBC One’s Ambulance were left raging after the show aired an interaction between paramedics and a man who made them feel in danger of being physically attacked.
The hit documentary series follows crews from the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) and their emergency call handlers responding to and attending a number of serious incidents; delving into the challenging situations and pressures that the service faces every day.
On Wednesday night’s episode, broadcast on March 13, the service was bracing itself for a surge in calls on Easter Monday morning, following the Easter weekend.
It was expected that more than 6,000 referral services across the north west would be closed for the bank holiday, and there were 35 per cent more people waiting for an ambulance than the morning before.
