Season 9
Double Bill Saturdays & Sundays at 10:20 & 21:20 from 22nd July to 20th August

Close Calls: On Camera brings to life the stories of ordinary people who have faced extraordinary circumstances.

With access to a variety of sources such as video and phone footage shot by the victims and onlookers, dramatic real-life 999 calls, and first-hand accounts from the victims and their friends and families, Close Calls: On Camera relives the split-second moments when everyday events are transformed into disasters and meets the people who lived to tell the tale.

Season 9 starts with an episode of a young woman and her friends who were pulled out to sea in a freak rip current. We’ll show a lifeguard and Coastguard as they battle to stay afloat. Also, a Mum driving home from work when a huge sheet of ice crashes into her windscreen.
