Viewers of 24 Hours in A&E were left in tears over a heartbreaking moment during the opening show. The Channel 4 programme is based at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham for its 29th series - the first time it has been filmed outside of London.
In the first episode, 'Tales of the Unexpected', which was filmed in 2021 and aired at 9pm on Tuesday (January 3), viewers were shown an equal mix of horror, tragedy and humour. One of the most emotional storylines comes after 92-year-old John is admitted to resus as he struggles to breathe.
His wife, Florence, is by his side as numerous tests are carried out. Throughout the programme, she talks about the ups and downs of her long life with John, including romantic recollections of how they met and their struggles when failing to have a child.
