Volunteers from Lyme Regis RNLI are set to be featured on a popular BBC television series.

The lifeboat volunteers will be showcased on BBC Two's 'Saving Lives at Sea' on Thursday, September 8.

The programme features footage captured on helmet cameras with the primetime documentary series lets viewers witness rescues through the eyes of the RNLI lifesavers.

'Saving Lives at Sea' is now in its seventh series and follows the lifesaving work of RNLI lifeguards and volunteer crews from across the UK and Ireland.

Lyme Regis' episode will feature the rescue of two anglers whose fishing boat capsized at night near the mouth of the River Axe at Axmouth.

Lyme Regis lifeboat helm Tim Edwards, who will feature in the upcoming episode, said after the rescue: “Both men were very lucky., but they were doing what the RNLI recommends in such circumstances and were floating on their backs waiting for help to arrive.

"Our lifesaving work would not be possible without donations from the public and we are delighted to be able to share in this documentary a frontline view of the rescues they support with their kind generosity.”
