The UK version helped Ten to a near 10% channel share last night, the highest it’s been for a while IIRC. Hopefully the new Aussie version does well for Ten, I’m looking forward to watching it.
A lot of likes, comments and shares on this post - hopefully a decent factual does well for them considering we’ll have 3 similar shows on air around the same time.

Don’t think this has been mentioned anywhere yet, based on the below post on twitter it appears that Lisa Wilkinson may be narrating this season for Ten?
Ambulance Australia executive producer Sarah Thornton has revealed more details about the show in an interview with Mediaweek. For example, for each episode, five ambulances across NSW were rigged with more than 30 small cameras imported from Germany, and crews were stationed in all the control centres.
Also interesting point at the end of that article:
Another series telling authentic Australian stories is Secret Life Of Four-Year-Olds. It airs after Ambulance and is being made for Ten by Screentime. Thornton is also EP on this for Ten with Jennifer Collins her counterpart at Screentime.
Extended first look:
Notice this tweet from last week regarding a segment in tomorrow’s premiere.

Surprised they didn’t announce Lisa Wilkinson as host prior to. Surely would’ve made sense to promote that somewhat.

Ten’s decision to show a repeat of season 1 of Ambulance back in February is coming back to haunt the network now.

I’d say the problem was they were cutting it really fine from recording to editing to broadcast, so they didn’t have any episodes ready in time for the first week of ratings.
