Guy Martin: Proper Jobs (2025- )

RunningDocumentary show

Guy Martin: Proper Jobs is a four-part series commissioned for U&Dave and free streaming service, U.

No stranger to trying new things, Guy Martin's Proper Jobs will see the motorcycle racer, truck fitter, part-time farmer, enthusiastic engineer and sometime television presenter, attempt a variety of different roles that involve a lot of hard graft, no shortage of skill and that perhaps don't get the recognition they deserve.

Guy's not thinking about sitting behind a desk writing monthly highlights or sending a load of emails back and forth here though. No, he wants to get stuck in doing some of the most demanding jobs in the UK.

Guy will fully immerse himself in his new role and undergo all the essential training, live with his co-workers, and by doing so, learn more about the people who do these jobs day in, day out.

The former motorcycle racer will be able to see for himself the local and cultural significance these jobs have today and may have had in the past.

Mountain Rescue Dog Handler

Guy begins by selecting which of his own three dogs – Nigel, Steve and Keith – is most suitable as a search and rescue dog. Keith shows a lot of promise, but when expert trainer Stu McIntyre puts him through his paces, Keith sadly doesn't make the grade.

 

So, alone, Guy heads to the Cairngorms – one of Britain's most dangerous mountain ranges – where he's given an intense course of Mountain Rescue training and learns a little about why the volunteers who do this extreme job repeatedly risk everything to save others. Then he practices, repeatedly, how to work with an experienced search and rescue dog called Pippa, learning how to efficiently cover a search area with her.

 

Finally, Guy faces a daunting test of his newly acquired abilities. Dropped by helicopter in one of the remotest parts of the Cairngorms, he and Pippa must try to locate a casualty in a search area stretching for miles. It's cold, wet and blowing a gale – but of course it involves a dog, so Guy is loving it.
