The RTS award-winning documentary series is back with its fifteenth series following patients treated in the same 24 hour period at St George’s in south west London. The hospital has one of the busiest A&E departments in Britain. It’s a place where stories of life, love and loss unfold every day.

This episode – Liberation Day – explores the sacrifices made by previous generations for the good of the future.

Tim, 43, is transferred to St George’s with suspected spinal injuries after a mountain bike jump goes wrong. As doctors work to assess the severity of his injuries, his wife Terri talks about their experiences growing up in apartheid South Africa.

83 year old Jeanette is brought to resus with her husband Leslie struggling to breathe. As the medical team give her emergency oxygen, Leslie recounts his experiences in the artillery corps of WW2.

Mollie, 91, is in A&E after her daughter accidentally crashed into a lamp post in a supermarket car park.

Tune in tonight (Wednesday 6 June) at 9pm on Channel 4.
