TV Advert Narrator: [Voicing an Emergency Services advert] Has this ever happened to you? : [The old woman on the advert twists her ankle and falls down stairs, gets up and falls down second flight of stairs before picking up her phone and trying to dial 999] From today, dialing 999 won't get you the Emergency Services, and that's not the only thing that's changing!
