This theme scared the shit outta me as kid
I really enjoyed this back in the day. My mum was more scared of the show than me. Crimewatch however is one of those I just won’t watch, even now.
Sorry!
snap lol
The tune what scared
me was the programme after
This and Crimewatch intro music too...bloody terrifying
THAT THEME TUNE.
@Mayhem Albas Ikr! Haunting.
Scared the fuck out of me when I was a kid
Safety third
@@revivedfears same here used to scare the shit outta me
If you listen, you can hear how it sounds like a two tone siren
It was a great programme. In 1996 I was 16. Used to watch it without fail.
I agree for some reason 96 was so damn good, I was completely hooked that year too
I'm sorry if my music was a bit frightening. It wasn't meant to be :-)
You sir are a legend!!
In fact, Roger, I have to come back to ask another question:
If you didn’t intend the music to be frightening, what kind of tone were you aiming for when you composed it, and what gave you the inspiration for it?
PS by the way you’re still a genius!!
I loved the end bit with the final "999" motif and the quiet piano - to me, it symbolised, "We're here... you're safe now."
Jim Surname was climbing a hill on a Suffolk airstrip, carrying a petrol powered lawn mower on his back. Just an ordinary Sunday afternoon. But disaster was just around the corner.
Premier league of comments
Yep, sums it up. That should be the synopsis
Paul Lastname was attempting to reach an anniversary £2 coin that he had dropped down the rotating blades of a combine harvester when his dog, Mungo, woke up at exactly the worst moment
Peter Bitchslap was minding his own business trying to beat his own underwater swimming record in Croydon Aquatics Centre when the attendant [portrayed by an actor], thinking it was empty, chose the worst time possible to drain the pool
Matthew MacMedicalmagnet was walking up Ben Nevis with his brother, Daniel, [portrayed by actors] on what looked like, for all intents and purposes, a very normal spring afternoon. Unfortunately for them, and the children of Kilmallie County Primary, it would prove anything but...
Used to love watching this when I was a kid!
Do you remember the one where a high school student had a javalin through his neck during a PE lesson?
@@daysofthunder2525 I remember that, ladder up a bonfire with petrol in hand?
Memory unlocked
Would love this to still be on TV. This and Strange But True
The Enfield Poltergeist Episode ! .... My britches were absolutely sodden !
This show was scarier than it needed to be.
This and crimewatch.
This show was apart of my childhood, theme have me nightmares
Me too!
Same! The theme tune genuinely terrified me.
I'm really sorry!
Remember the show after??
This theme tune and casualty's theme tune both gave me nightmares as a kid 😂🎶
They should bring this programme back! Was brill!
No wonder I have bad anxiety, watching this as a kid
Same but it was good TV and we weren't snowflakes
999 .... Casualty .... Strange But True .... Crimewatch ..... Throughout the 90s on many an occasion a very young James could have been found watching these ❤
Brings back memories. Comedy gold, me and my brother used to piss ourselves at the reconstructions.
When this theme tune came on I was more than happy to go to bed as a child haha
I'm sorry to hear this, really sorry. My bad.
I liked that Michael Buerk actually explained prior to the reconstruction whether it featured actors, the actual rescue team, stunt actors/ professionals as the victims, eg. The canoeists in the second segment. Wish they did the same with similar shows like Seconds from Disaster or Air Crash Investigation.
That theme tune omg it’s the best
Thanks :-)
Loved the 'siren' motif in the theme music too.
So do I, perfect for a show like this..
Thanks. I recorded both the Bath and Swindon fire engines to do it... 🙂
I loved this show at the time but I realise as an adult how it’s responsible for literally all my fears. I certainly wasn’t claustrophobic before I watched 999!
I'm very, very sorry to hear this... it was not my intention with the music. The opposite really. Sorry.
Wow 999 remember watching this with mam and dad as a kid it was cutting edge for its time.
The end theme of this was the soundtrack of my journey upstairs to bed
I remember the episode when a young girls hair got sucked into a vent when she was swimming underwater in a hotel pool 😳 she was trapped under the water 😳
Wow, I remember that one too 😳I think someone had to dive under and blow air into her lungs, mouth to nose style. I think they had to cut her hair or something.
I remember this too! Amazing how these things just happen and are instantly unforgettable for whatever reason, as this was about 25y or 30yrs. And it worked - I was always more careful around pools after a water episode!
I remember that too, really scary!
Me too
@@Alessa187They did, with a kitchen knife from the nearby café.
999 is one of my favourite tv programmes
The North Shields incident took place across the water from me. Several incidents that stuck in my head from this show include a boy getting impaled in his head by his bike after falling off it. A candle setting the bathtub it had been left in alight and a boy who had a javelin go right through his neck.
Yeah the forks span round in the air on the bike.. It's one of my vivid childhood memories. Crazy how on the internet years later you discover people actually saw what you saw. It's like you thought you imagined it lol.
Yes it is true. I knew I hadn’t imagined it. The Bathtub incident surprised me as until I saw the episode featuring it I didn’t even know baths could even catch fire. If an episode featured something I was sensitive about I wouldn’t watch it even if I watch the programme usually.
@@LNERK361983 Remember the kid and the Gorillas. Classic 999 that was.
I’ve seen incidents like that on other shows but can’t recall the 999 episode featuring that. I do remember the incident where a cement mixer fell over and covered a guy in corrosive cement. As well as the little girl whose dress caught fire at a party.
The one where the chip shop owner fell into the hot chip oil left a mark on me just as much as him! This was an excellent sho though, it should be revived.
The Moloney brothers episode was originally broadcast in April 1995, although it's in the compilation episode from the summer of 1996 and it's a follow up.
I loved this tv show one of my favourite at the time. It would be great to see this re made with up to date emergency’s
No
Leave it in the past where it belongs
Although I'd love to see some full episodes uploaded
Agreed just NO. All these remakes bomb, every time. People want what they can never have again. That Big Breakfast tragedy from Channel 4, a prize example. What would it be? Maybe emergencies for diverse people, to educate us all, on how minorities also. have accidents. Yeah we know! Innovate & Invent new stuff, or die. We pay a lot of money as a nation, to these lot. That means onwards ,upwards and cutting edge, or at least it should. We're drowning in nostalgia, so things, have probably got pretty poor.
This was banging programme 👌🏻
NINE NINE NINEEEEEE
This show is a Classic.
Friday nights and then strange but true 😬
Yes! Both this and strange but true! Best TV shows of the 90s
@@mundoglory7071 100% agreed! I was born in ‘86 so have very fond memories of both series’. They can keep the boring crap they broadcast these days though!..
its great!
Is this the show where someone got a javelin through their neck? I swear it scared the hell out of me all through school!
Yes! I think he managed to somehow throw the javelin through his own neck.
Always remember this being on around the time the lottery was when I was in year 3. Not sure how old that made me.
6 or 7 years old I think :)
Fantastic tv 90s
This and Casualty back in the days had some gruesome footage !
Nostalgia here
I remember watching one about a paramedic called out to get a guy down from a pylon and he realised he had bad vertigo and got stuck up their himself. As a young teen I fancied the Female presenter a bit too !
How did the pilot in the first scenario not see the open parachute of the guy who fell from the plane in broad daylight??
Great show back in the day. My God how stupid were the family on the boat.... Jesus.
Lost their deposit on that boat holiday
Can anyone mind the episode of the kid who was buzzing gas in the bathroom then sparked a lighter..... Boom
Always remember the story where a kids front wheel fell off his bike. He flipped over as did the bike resulting in him having the forks of the bike stuck in the back of his head
If you're in trouble call 999!
Nothing went right for the boat family
Do you have anymore 999?
Yes, I'll upload more soon, subscribe for updates, Andy
Great I look forward to seeing more 999 i loved it.
Why this show never got released on dvd in full ill never understand it’s the greatest real life rescue series of all time easily. I hope one day it gets reshown again in full as I miss it loads.
@@andygb2000 Hi Andy - thanks so much for your uploads - just wondering if you might have the episode of the boy who got hit in the neck with a javelin - a group really desperate to prove it wasn't our imagination!!! Please and thank you!
I literally had nightmares from this show! I remember that kid that did a wheelie on his bike in the street and his front wheel came off, he panicked and put the forks down into the tarmac and went over the handlebars which flipped the bike over him as he fell onto his front. The forks of the front wheel then somehow punctured through the back of his skull and they had to remove the rest of the bike to transport him to hospital. I never did wheelies again after seeing that 👍🏻🤣
Lol that's the episode that stuck with me too. The thought of it
@@mr.y.mysterious.video1 You’d keep the x-ray pictures just because nobody would ever believe that it actually happened lol
wow. Heart surgery on the street. Incredible.
Hands up if tom allen bought you here
I still remember the kid who slipped on mud and got a javelin through his neck 😖
Most of my childhood memories are scenes from this show, lol. I remember one where a guy had crashed his car and a fence post went through his chest. He walked up to the road but it was Halloween and no one stopped as they thought he was in costume... Am I remembering that right??
He didn’t walk anywhere no. He was stuck in the car because the post went through him and the seat.
@@joosiej85 Right. I'm probably mixing two memories.. it was a very long time ago. Ta
Bizarre accident...
That boat family was just weird
This gave me trauma
No gonna lie… Wit my young a$$… Jon Richardson brought me here 😂
hey guys, let's throw these liferings in.
wait, what's that rope for?
ah.. uh.. don't know.. anyway, let's get to it, guys! *throws first one in* right, give me the next one!
but I think the rope is...
give me it, people are dying! *throws second one in*
we have to attach the...
*grabs third one* DO YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE TO DIE? *throws third one in*

9:00 dafuq is up with his eyes??

That's why I'm here.
