Sea Patrol UK: RAF
The English Channel is a hugely busy and treacherous stretch of water. Fortunately, it is patrolled by an elite multi-agency team 24/7 that includes the RAF, the Navy, the RNLI and Customs - all of which are poised to come to the aid of seafarers and tackle crime at a moment's notice. Join us for the gripping new episodes of Sea Patrol UK as our cameras head back out onto the water to shadow the agencies as they tackle emergencies and cases from Dover along the entire channel coast to Lands End.
For them, drama comes in many forms - including the investigation of suspicious fishing trawlers, people missing at sea and smugglers bringing in contraband. They are ready to respond to every type of incident, risking their lives to avert disaster and make the Channel a safer place.
