Following the work of ambulance services around the UK, `Ambulance' is an unprecedented documentary series that delves into the dilemmas and pressures that British ambulance services face on a daily basis. Narrated by Christopher Eccleston, viewers are shown what day-to-day operations are like from the point of views of the people in the control rooms and the crews on the streets.
