Saved on Camera is a feel-good series featuring people who have really brought their A game with a series of good deeds caught, you guessed it, on camera

In this age of selfies and Instagram, it makes a nice change when the images captured on camera are selfless acts of bravery (Monday, 11.45am, see our TV Guide for full details).

And there are plenty of those in BBC’s new daily series Saved on Camera.

It's all about heart-in-the mouth rescues recorded on mobile phones, CCTV and dash-cams.

In this first episode, two nine-year-old boys are rescued from the sea off Blackpool by quick-thinking father-of-three Paul Adams.

He was on the beach with his own family when he saw that something was definitely going wrong in the water. Paul emotionally recalls his actions.
