Accidental Heroes

Accidental Heroes

ACCIDENTAL HEROES, the brand new show that shines the spotlight on ordinary people who go to extraordinary lengths to help others, starts this summer on BBC1. 

Presented by Julia Bradbury this six-part series celebrates the everyday person who steps into the breach - often acting on instinct and always acting selflessly – to save a life and to become an Accidental Hero.

Each episode will feature three stories that show us just what happens when the emergency services can’t be the first on the scene of an accident.  Dramatic reconstructions of life threatening incidents and astounding real life footage that capture death defying moments, in addition to the survivor’s accounts of their terrifying experiences, bring to life the courageous stories of our accidental heroes.  

Aired on BBC1 through September and October 2008
