Rescue: Special Ops (Channel 9 2009-2011, Libby Tanner, Peter Phelps)

Published

on


Action adventure series Rescue: Special Ops focuses on a team of elite Paramedics working in Sydney. Usually involved in search and rescue ops, the team are led by Dean Gallagher who is more often than not in conflict with fellow team member Chase – who just happens to be his brother.

Station Co-Ordinator Vince Marchello is the likable guy who keeps the team running smoothly, whilst station manager Michelle Letourneau was one of the original members of the team; Lara Knight might be something of a princess outside of work but is always the first to volunteer for the most dangerous ops. Meanwhile Jordan Zwitowski is a speed freak and Heidi Wilson is the new girl on the team.

Exciting and big of budget Rescue: Special Ops always packs plenty of bang into its episodes. The personal lives of the team are of course as much to the fore as their professional antics. The first season didn’t perform quite as well as Nine expected but, unusually for these times, they persevered and commissioned a second season allowing the show to find its audience somewhat.
