''Sirens'' is a British comedy/drama series focusing on the lives of three ambulance-men and a policewoman, and their roles in a rather truthful (but bleak) depiction of modern-day life.

Stars of the show are: Stuart Bayldon (Rhys Thomas), a NietzscheWannabe who has daddy issues; Ashley Greenwick ([[GameOfThrones Richard Madden]]), a private promiscuous gay man who happens to be Stuart's best friend and co-worker; Rachid Mansaur (Kayvan Novak), the new guy who gets to learn valuable life lessons; and Sgt Maxine Fox (Amy Beth Hayes), who is desperate for a boyfriend. She is a very close friend to Stuart, and they're only "friends".

It's based on the book ''Blood, Sweat & Tea'' by Tom Reynolds, a nurse and former emergency medical technician for the London Ambulance Service.

Not to be confused with the American TV series of the same name that ran between 1993 and 1995.
----
!!Contains the following tropes:
* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: Generally one every episode; whether it be abandonment issues, what type of blokes you're into or that you've developed a phobia.
* TheCynic: Many of the characters, but the grand prize goes to Stuart.
-->'''Maxine:''' You live for your porn and you loathe humanity.
-->'''Stuart:''' That's because humanity is loathsome.
* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much everybody has their moments.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Stuart's attempt to explain why when he's so horny he can't be trusted with anybody but Maxine.
* DrivenToSuicide
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Rachid is treated as such, but Stuart doesn't seem much better.
* DrJerk: Stuart.
* EmotionsVersusStoicism: A running theme, with the boys usually coming down on the side of stoicism and the therapist practically begging them to get in touch with their emotions.
* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex
* FiremenAreHot: ''"Women love firemen. Look at them, I can feel their wombs vibrating."''
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Pitiably attempted by a school-boy trying to get out of Rugby. Unbelievably his mother is fooled by this.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Stuart is insufferably superior, a bit of a know-it-all, bossy, and largely selfish, but he also seems to truly enjoy helping people and he's willing to encourage [[LoveInterest Maxine's]] relationship with Craig (albeit with an eye on them breaking up soon) so she can stay calm and pass her tests.
* TheJinx: Fat Paul.
* KnightInSourArmor: Both Ash and Stuart show tendencies toward this; they seem fairly cynical and disillusioned, but they still dedicate their lives to helping others as paramedics. Rachid is (so far) a bit more optimistic.
* ManlyTears
* MDEnvy: Quite a bit of tension between the doctors and our trio.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny
* PlayingSick: See Above.
* PoliceBrutality: A blink-and-you-miss-it moment where Maxine knocks out a guy stealing from the back of an ambulance while "checking the time".
* ReallyGetsAround: Ash.
* TheSnarkKnight: ''Stuart''.
* StageWhisper: It's either this or our characters are very indiscreet. It's more likely it's the latter.
* StiffUpperLip: Even knowing the biological mechanisms behind stress, trauma, anxiety, and other effects of being an emergency worker, Stuart never stops trying to "beat" his emotions/body chemistry and suppress his natural responses. His levels of success vary.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted, much to our characters' chagrin.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Ash and Ryan.
