  2. An injured man is lying on a stretcher, which is being pulled up a hill using ropes and a pulley. Four mountain rescuers in white helmets surround the man to assist him, while other rescuers stand on the path below. They are all in a wooded hilly area.

  3. A sign outside the Waterfront car park on Barrow Island saying the car park is closed. The car park gates are closed and the car park is empty.

  4. The outside of Allerdale House, the main office of Cumberland Council. There is scaffolding to the left of the entrance archway, which is made of large, tan-coloured blocks under a grey metal arch. The large logo of Cumberland Council sits above a glass automatic door. A sign in one of the glass panes reads Welcome to Allerdale House and has writing below it.

  5. A sign outside HMP Haverigg warning it is an offence to help a prisoner escape. The black sign is outside a barbed-wire fence and has a royal emblem at the top.

  6. A plume of spray rises from the back of Bluebird as it travels across Coniston Water. The machine looks like a cross between a boat and a plane. Painted blue, it has a tail fin. Trees can be seen on the shoreline.

  7. A beaver swimming in a river. Its brown fur is wet as it glides through the water, with one deep, black eye looking ahead and two small ears tucked behind. The rippling water reflects the green foliage above, with small leaves floating alongside the animal.

  8. St Robert and St Alice Chapel at Dodding Green. The building is white with black window sills and a slate roof. There is a central doorway under a pitched roof. To its left is a wing that stands proud of the main building and has three windows, two on the ground floor and one centrally above. There is also a small window on the first floor above the roof over the main door. The part of the building to the right of the door is a single white painted wall with no windows.

  9. Deborah, wearing a blouse and black cardigan, smiles at the camera. She has grey hair and glasses on her head and is standing in an empty church.

  10. A green and yellow sign reading 'Private Estate Keep Out' is nailed to a tree trunk, with woodland trees and path out of focus behind.

  16. The entrance to HMP Haverigg in Cumbria. There is a blue and white sign reading Welcome to HMP Haverigg. The area is fences off by a tall cream fence with wire along the top and warning signs on the gate. Two small hut-type buildings painted brown are outside the gates on one side of the entrance.

  17. Bluebird in action on Coniston Water. It is a bright blue rocket-shaped craft. Spray is shooting from the rear where the jet engine is blowing the surface water. Meanwhile water is bubbling up around the craft's front and sides. There are support boats closer to the shore and four people are watching through binoculars.

  18. Ethan smiling into the camera while standing in one of the greenhouses. He has brown, curly hair and is wearing a blue zip-up fleece which reads 'Grow West' on the right of his chest. There are tables on either side of him lined with pots with different coloured flowers in them. On the right they are pink and on the left they are yellow, purple and pink.

  19. Clinicians Ingrid Wilkins, Mhairi Stewart and Ludger Barthelmes, wearing their brightly patterned reusable hats. They have matching burgundy scrubs and stand together in a hospital preparation area.

  22. The M6 has six lanes in total, separated by a grassy central reservation with a low metal barrier running along it. The road is bordered by tall trees on the left, and smaller trees and shrubs on the right. There are a mix of cars, vans and trucks on the road, but they are fairly well-spaced apart.

  23. Close-up of Bluebird operating on Loch Fad. It is a craft that looks like a cross between a plane and a boat. It is painted blue. Spray is shooting up behind it.
