In the first edition, RNLI volunteers from Calshot are faced with the task of rescuing 25 people during the night when a giant car carrier, the Heogh Osaka, is grounded on a sandbank in the Solent. Meanwhile, a premature baby seal that was found washed up on the beach receives intensive care from the RSPCA team in Hastings.

A maintenance crew sets to work on the Channel Tunnel while it is closed during the night and a helicopter is used to help resupply the Wolf Rock Lighthouse, which lies eight nautical miles off Land's End.

Members of the Royal Navy combat rough seas in the Channel after six months in the Gulf. The pilot of a high-speed catamaran ferry battles traffic between Southampton and the Isle of Wight, and loadmaster Shane Brearley attempts to lift a new £700,000 luxury yacht from the water and load it for the next leg of the journey to its new owner.

4) Part 4
The Royal Navy bomb squad unearths a deadly relic that has been sitting on a mantelpiece in Worthing, West Sussex, for the past 30 years.
