Nautical Test Centre Siege

The Nautical Test Centre Siege was a set of episodes aired in September 1999 to celebrate the show moving to three episodes per week.
Rob first kidnapped Lucy after returning to the village (having believed to have died in October 1998), tied her up and attempted to drown her. However, his attempts were foiled by the arrivals of Ruth, Lewis and Tony. Rob managed to overpower the trio and also tried drowning them too. Tony managed to find a hatch, which lead the quartet to an escape. Lucy almost died in the siege, but was resuscitated by Tony.
