Season 8
999: What's Your Emergency? returns for a new run, focusing on the relentless work carried out by Wiltshire's police, paramedic and fire services. Demand on Wiltshire's emergency services is at an all-time high and, as in so much of the UK, staff working in this once-traditional county are battling an ever-increasing range of thoroughly modern problems. Never before have Wiltshire's emergency services been so needed, nor so stretched.
Episodes
Episode 1
This episode focuses on the five per cent of the UK's families who are collectively responsible for a staggering amount of the nation's crime: 50 per cent of criminal arrests. In these cases the 'tradition' of crime within a family means that police see extremes of criminality across a wide age range, costing the UK £9 billion a year.
Episode 2
This episode focuses on the five per cent of the UK's families who are collectively responsible for a staggering amount of the nation's crime: 50 per cent of criminal arrests. In these cases the 'tradition' of crime within a family means that police see extremes of criminality across a wide age range, costing the UK £9 billion a year. What are the prospects for breaking the cycle of crime passing from one generation to the next? 'A lot of our calls are the same families, brothers and sisters, mothers and sons, mothers and daughters, and you often think to yourself 'I wonder what it is now?' says Rachel Woodbridge. 'You know that when you hear a certain name, it's not going to be good.' Police are dispatched to apprehend a drunk young man outside a nightclub. Some members of his family have amassed 193 arrests and 111 convictions between them.
Episode 3
In the UK the number of people with diagnoses of learning disabilities is at an all-time high, but with cuts to the care available, the police are being called on more for support. In the last decade, the number of people in the UK registered with learning disabilities has shot up by 90%, mainly driven by autism and its less extreme form, Asperger's.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
