Who are you going to call if it all goes wrong on holiday?

Meet Doctor Ben MacFarlane. His job is to bring people back to Britain after holiday disasters, gap year crises, embarrassing incidents on business trips and all the other things that can go wrong when we head off overseas.

Holiday SOS is his story - a year in the life of a very British flying doctor. Follow Ben as he grabs his medical bag and flies to glamorous locations - helping to pick up the pieces after another holiday emergency.

Dramatic, hilarious and wildly unexpected, emergency medicine doesn't just take place in intensive care wards - it can happen just across the aisle on your next flight.
