Deadly North Sea

Deadly North Sea is the everyday story of the unsung heroes, both men and women, who face death and danger on a daily basis as they risk their lives and try to earn a living in the cruel and merciless waters that divide Britain from the rest of Northern Europe.

The North Sea is a place where the water can be so cold you’ll die within minutes of falling into it, and where force 10 gales can turn a routine job into a life or death situation. But despite the dangers, thousands of people depend on it for their livelihoods. From coastguards to the so-called "rig pigs", from fishermen to search and rescue teams and ferry workers to marine biologists, these people risk their lives every day as they attempt to earn a living in these dangerous waters.

This remarkable series focuses on a variety of characters as they go about their daily jobs. For the rest of us, a bad day at the office might mean losing an important file. For our friends on the North Sea, a bad day at the office could mean losing their lives.
