Life Lines - Series 9

Al Smith’s compelling drama set in an ambulance control centre. Carrie must deal with a series of calls that culminate in a traumatic incident outside an asylum hotel.

Carrie is a call handler for the ambulance service. Every day she makes split-second decisions as she deals with a succession of emergencies; from a young man who has fallen whilst attempting to put up a flag, to a mother dealing with the death of her only son. Carrie is gifted with the knack of calmly helping people through their most vulnerable moments. Each episode is a collage of heart-stopping stories, where Carrie’s indiscriminate acts of kindness can mean the difference between life and death.
