Terrific historical series!
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! It's about a part of WWII I never knew about and loved learning about it. I never realized how much the citizens of Britain had to go through with the bombings, but then had to deal with bombs that didn't explode. They were designed not to explode and so servicemen had to learn how to defuse them so more people wouldn't be killed. It was fascinating. And then the actors and storyline were wonderful. Especially Anthony Andrews!!! A really good series, I saw it on the Acorn channel and decided I just had to own it, it's a keeper. It was made in the 70s, but was still good quality. Make sure you get a dvd set that can play on US players.I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! It's about a part of WWII I never knew about and loved learning about it.

Danger U.X.B. (2005 DVD)
Danger UXB relates the early days of the first explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) units during the Battle of Britain. Though I haven't finished watching all 10 hours, it is evident that it sticks pretty close to the reality of EOD in those days, and conveys a lot of what EOD these days remains - tense, careful, dangerous. Unlike those guys, EOD techs now receive a year (minimum) of intensive training, and since bomb-making and EOD response is a cat-and-mouse game of evolve- conquer- evolve-again, training is always needed. And the solutions (what they call render safe procedures, or RSP) are classified in order to keep the adversary in the dark as to what the EOD responder knows so he won't have an incentive to adapt. This BBC series conveys straight to the gut what this is all about, and ... Danger UXB relates the early days of the first explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) units during the Battle of Britain.

And the solutions (what they call render safe procedures, or RSP) are classified in order to keep the adversary in the dark as to what the EOD responder knows so he won't have an incentive to adapt. This BBC series conveys straight to the gut what this is all about, and what these guys, and now women, take on every time they go to work. I bought it at the recommendation of my EOD-tech adviser. I run a nonprofit organization called Terra Segura International (www.terrasegura.org); we build landmine clearing technology and now robots for use against bombs in Iraq etc. So even though I've been around these guys and this issue for going on 15 years, he thought it would be good if I saw this series. He's an ex-Marine EOD tech, so he KNOWS about this world, but he told me that he got a lot out of it also. One of the sidelights of working with EOD people is you discover that as a group they contain probably the highest percentage of eccentrics you'll ever meet anywhere (and I use the word "eccentric" in a very respectful and caring way). Their world has things in it that are not glamourous but the personifications of ugly and evil. They risk their lives every day making those things go away. Whatever their politics (usually on the conservative side), they don't suffer fools at all, they're blunt and honest, and they don't care how many letters you have behind your name. This series gives you the reasons why.

Classic Wartime Drama, Suspense, Humor, Romance
This British TV series combines drama, humor, suspense, and even a touch of romance. The setting is wartime London, ca 1940, and young officer Brian Ash is conscripted to head up a bomb disposal unit. He has about 30 minutes of training before he must face his first live bomb. The appalling spectacle of the blitz gradually unfolds as we see the horrible job of dealing with the thousands of unexploded bombs that the Luftwaffe intentionally scattered all over London. By dropping bombs with delayed-action fuses, the Wehrmacht hopes to tie up railroad lines, telephone exchanges, and thoroughfares for days or weeks for fear the bombs will go off while a crowd of people is present. As the war grinds on, the Luftwaffe ordnance designers keep coming up with more and more clever fuses, some of ... This British TV series combines drama, humor, suspense, and even a touch of romance.

By dropping bombs with delayed-action fuses, the Wehrmacht hopes to tie up railroad lines, telephone exchanges, and thoroughfares for days or weeks for fear the bombs will go off while a crowd of people is present. As the war grinds on, the Luftwaffe ordnance designers keep coming up with more and more clever fuses, some of them intentionally boob-trapped to kill anyone who tries to defuse them. The technology alone is fascinating enough to make techie geeks like me want to watch all the episodes. A bonus is also the classic MG with Ash drives. A fascinating angle to this series is the way that the danger and death of war is brought right into everyday British lives and neighborhoods. The men of bomb disposal who face death every day may go home to stay in a normal British apartment, complete with rationed food, and teenage daughters who are fascinated with these heroes who sleep under their roofs. Lonely wives of officers off to war, Retired men trying to help the war effort, a nude dancer in whose club a bomb falls, A crooked businessman who has huge piles of valuable silver stashed in his basement. Even a curious schoolboy who xomes close to losing his life to the unexploded bomb which has fallen in his back yard. Lonely soldiers have many opportunities to interact with these equally lonely young women. Even more fun than the MG. So after 25 years I finally bought the DVD series. And I am so glad I did. It's even better the second time through, when I don't have to wait a week between episodes. Five stars.

Danger U.X.B. (2005, DVD) GREAT PROGRAM!!!
The story of the British soldiers whose duty in WW II during the Nazi Blitz was to disarm unexploded bombs (UXBs) sounds as if it could be a rather routine, indeed rather dull, affair. Make no mistake, however. This is an adventure story of the highest order, filled with nail-biting excitement, coupled with a heart-tugging romance. I remembered watching it in its first TV run, and what I remembered made me hasten to buy the set. Lt. Brian Ash (Anthony Andrews, in one of his two greatest starring roles, the other being in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED) is a green-behind-the-ears soldier advanced to officer rank solely because he has studied engineering, and assigned to a UXB Company with absolutely no other qualification for the job. HUH? Well, you see, nobody knows anything about how to ...

I remembered watching it in its first TV run, and what I remembered made me hasten to buy the set. Lt. Brian Ash (Anthony Andrews, in one of his two greatest starring roles, the other being in BRIDESHEAD REVISITED) is a green-behind-the-ears soldier advanced to officer rank solely because he has studied engineering, and assigned to a UXB Company with absolutely no other qualification for the job. HUH? Well, you see, nobody knows anything about how to defuse an unexploded bomb, only an officer (and never an enlisted man) is permitted to do the actual defusing (veddy, veddy British), and like as not he will very soon go up with the bomb he is disarming, so why waste time in trying to train him? After all, if he does go up wuth 'his' bomb, that will be one bomb less to worry about. Andrews is superb in this role, and if you aren't on the edge of your seat when he descends into the hole his squad has dug around the first bomb he is assigned to defuse and reaches out to just barely touch its fuse, which he has to remove, then your nerves are more steely than mine. Of course he succeeds in this first attempt, or there would be no more story, but when he ascends from the hole with the fuse, and then vomits, you might feel like doing the same. I shan't go into the love story intertwined with Ash's career for the next few years. Suffice it to say that it is just as touch-and-go a thing as defusing any bomb, and that it is warmly and realistically played out. The supporting actors are all absolutely first-rate as well, particularly those playing the members of his squad, and of them most especially the man who plays Sgt. James, whose name I could not figure out from the brief credits. This, then, is a tale of a little known, if known at all, part of what when on in WW II, but one that is well worth remembering along with the exploits of 'The Few' who flew the Spitfires and Hurricanes to destroy the Nazi bombers before they could drop their deadly loads. And a worthy tribute it is!!! DON'T MISS IT!!! jayjayaye

Great -- but only if you are interested in this topic!!
This was originally a series shown on Masterpiece Theatre over here and I *really* liked the series. Defusing unexploded bombs is a real "nail-biter" occupation and the episodes that I saw back then (I was not able to watch the entire series) were [for me] riveting! In fact, my BIGGEST disappointment was when the series ended as it seemed to me to be too "abrupt" and left too many loose ends. So, I was REALLY happy when the entire series became available. I found the technical explanations clear and easy to follow and each week the episode would highlight a different UXB "hazard". (Wait until you see what you can do with Butterfly bombs!). The plot is pretty loose and really seems to do no more than tie together the various UXB situations that our hero encounters. So, if you are ...

So, if you are "into" this sort of material, I think that you will be happy with this series. The episodes were very well made and the situations are riveting. Watching the Hero's face when he finds out that he has been assigned to this unit with NO prior experience in demolition removal is really something that you should not miss. Nevertheless, if you do not have a serious interest in this topic (the defusing of unexploded bombs during WW II), then this series may not be for you. As noted earlier, the plot is "thin" outside of the actual issues that have to do with the defusing of bombs. The "romantic" element seems to have been included in a "pro forma" fashion.
