Ambulance on BBC One featured a tribute to two patients, Terry and Sue, who died.
The BBC documentary series continued on Wednesday (September 23) evening, giving viewers an insight into the efforts of London Ambulance Service staff.
In last night’s episode, they geared themselves up to deal with the inevitable fallout of another day of intense politics in the capital, where hundreds of thousands of people were taking to the streets for protests.
What happened with Terry and Sue on BBC One’s Ambulance?
The end, however, included a tribute to two people featured the episode who died.
Paramedics had rushed to save Terry after he suffered a cardiac arrest. Viewers were told that just one in eight people survive.

Elsewhere, patient Sue was found collapsed and had stopped breathing. Paramedics did everything they could to save her, but had to pronounce her dead at the scene.
Before the credits rolled, Stormzy’s Blinded By Your Grace played and tributes to Terry and Sue appeared on screen.
This programme absolutely slayed me. Heroes, each and every one.
Sue’s simply read: “Sue. 1967 – 2019.”
Terry’s read: “After three days in intensive care, Terry passed away. His son scattered his ashes in Trinidad. Terry, 1932 – 2019.”
How did BBC viewers react to the end of last night’s Ambulance?
Reacting on Twitter, one viewer said alongside a crying emoji: “I’m forever in awe of you all. I say it quite a lot, but we are so lucky to have the #NHS. As Stormzy sang at the end, Blinded By Your Grace’…”
Another tweeted: “Very sad at the end. But amazing work, LAS. On another note, we were watching and remembering a long time ago in pre-covid world, no masks, hugs, sitting/standing close to each other #Ambulance #TeamLAS.”
