This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

999 was a long running series from the BBC about amazing rescue stories. Narrated by Michael Burke, the programme took the audience through the accident, the survival, and the rescue of three people each week. The story was told through the testimonies of the witnesses, rescuers, and the person rescued.

Michael Burke was a great presenter , later to be joined by Juliet lewis if memeory serves me right . I'd love to see it back on our screens as there's too much cr@p on that aint worth the bother nowadays !

    I remember quite clearly the special episode they did about the Great Storm of 1987, and this reconstruction they did of this woman who was blown out of her bedroom by the storm and got struck by thunder...terrified the life out of me.

    A man was going for a swim in the Sea and had half his leg got ripped off by a rock. It was really scarey - then the music would come and Michael Burke would assure you that he was alright after extensive surgery! Michael Burke rocked!!
