The Newhaven RNLI crew was one of many agencies called out when Eastbourne Pier caught fire on 30 July 2014. Using footage captured on their helmet camera as well as live news from the day, we follow the key role they played in helping to save the historic pier from total destruction. We're also on board the Royal Navy's HMS Tyne, part of the channel's fisheries protection squadron, who patrol the waters ensuring commercial fishermen follow regulations to protect fishing stocks. - taking the car on a cross-channel ferry for a trip to France or the rest of Europe.
