The leader of Blackpool council Simon Blackburn has even voiced his concerns after watching the show. Esther Rantzen wrote in the Daily Mail about how the show made her `` weep for the women of today. '' On 26 July 2013 it was confirmed that Crackit Productions and the BBC were about to commission `` Holiday Hospital 999 '' again based in Blackpool however these plans were shelved in what the Blackpool Gazette called a `` Bullet Dodged '' due to the damaging effect caused by 999 : What 's Your Emergency ? on tourism in the town. PC Claire van Deurs Goss was disciplined by Lancashire Constabulary after being shown applying lip gloss at the wheel of a police vehicle in Series 1 Episode 6, an action which prompted over 50 complaints to the force.
