Background

Dependable Josh Griffiths is the kind of paramedic anyone would love to have care for them in an emergency, he is highly trained and intelligent, and his quick thinking has helped saved countless lives over the years, and his patience and dedication have helped him train and get on well with his paramedic partners. Josh is also funny, good humoured and sensitive, however after everything that has happened to him in his life, although it doesn’t show, he feels things deeply. Josh has had his tragedy in life; he was devoted to his wife, Helen, his daughter and son whom was wheelchair bound with cystic fibrosis – however their lives were cut short in a house fire in S11 E20 – what made it worse was Josh was on call, and arrived at the scene to the devastation.

Josh’s first episode, S4 E1, sees just the kind of horrific things he has to witness; in this episode a car has collided with a lorry full of toxic chemical drums on the motorway, and he is at the scene. A policeman dies after falling into a pool of acid. Dealing with relatives is also an important part to the job, which is shown in S5 E10; when Josh is called to a farmhouse to find an elderly patient already dead; but his crazed son is menacing them with a butcher’s knife. Josh, and Lily, have to pretend the patient is still alive, until they can get into the ambulance and speed off.
