7:35Now PlayingThe Midweek team happened to be filming a story about deep sea diving in Scotland when two divers had to be rescued from the sea bed by colleagues. The crux of the Midweek story – that the work was getting harder and more technical, and so increasingly dangerous – was illustrated perfectly by the desperate scramble to try to stop these divers being permanently injured, or even killed, by “the bends”.
Clip taken from Midweek, originally broadcast on BBC One, Thursday 29 August, 1974.
