Since debuting in 2011, 24 Hours in A&E has captivated millions with real-life stories of life, love and loss, all of which is just a normal day for hospital staff.
24 Hours in A&E pretty much does what it says on the tin, following the events of a day at an accident and emergency department in London as staff deal with injuries from broken bones all the way up to life-threatening accidents.
The fly-on-the-wall documentary has won a Royal Television Society Award for Best Documentary, and has become a hit with viewers for its often emotionally-charged scenes depicting the bonds between patients, family members and hospital staff - not always with a happy ending.
