Cliff Twemlow is an obscure figure even by British B-movie standards, a handsome, no-nonsense former Manchester nightclub doorman who attempted to create a Hollywood of the north in the early ’80s and ’90s. Born in 1937, a fact he tried to cloud for many years, he was something of a renaissance man: He acted in soaps, he composed lucrative library music, he wrote a novel about a killer pike (“Pike can be dangerous, there’s no two ways about it”), and, after a wounding experience with a botched adaptation of his autobiographical novel Tuxedo Warrior, he decided to become a filmmaker himself.
Dramatic moment passersby saved man trapped under lorry on C4's Emergency
08.08.2023 - 05:51 / ok.co.uk
Fast-paced, adrenalin-pumping docuseries that shine the “blue light” on our 999 services have never been more popular. And Emergency, which is filmed in London, is back to capture all the drama as it follows the stories of seriously injured patients and the people – consultants, ambulance response teams, doctors, nurses and therapists – helping to save their lives. The series focuses on the work of the London Major Trauma System, a network of trauma units, air ambulances and medics set up in the wake of the 2005 London terrorist bombings to provide specialist care for critically injured patients.
Of the more than 6,000 calls a day that the London Ambulance Centre receives, some of the most serious are passed on to Cosmo, a trauma doctor. We’re introduced to him as he travels to treat Paiwand, 49, who is trapped under the wheels of a 29-tonne lorry that hit him as he crossed the road. Paiwand grew up in Iraq and escaped during Saddam Hussein’s regime.
“He was a very dangerous man,” he says to camera. He fled first to Turkey, then Greece, Italy and France before arriving in the UK, where he’s been working at his uncle’s garage in Camberwell for more than two decades. “After 22 years I got a British passport, and I went back to Iraq to see my family, my mum,” Paiwand says.
“Then I came back to England just eight days before my accident.” He can’t be sedated while he’s underneath the lorry in case he suffers side effects from the drugs, so he has to be pulled from beneath the vehicle before Cosmo can fully assess his injuries. Emergency’s cameras capture his rescue and the scores of people who work so hard to save his life. And it’s not just the medical team who rush to help.
