Teddibly English. Strong silent types disarming big duds and delayed action bombs with trick fuses dreamed up by those cleverly fiendish NAZI swine.
BTW, farmer turned up a live one around Sharpsburg, MD. Army came and blew it on site. Not an unknown occurrence. Over in Euroland, farmers still turning up WWI duds by the hundreds and WWII stuff all the time.!
I saw that series and really liked it. Also there was another British series called ‘Rumpole of the Bailey’ I think both were early ‘80’s. They were very well done.
Build them fast and in huge quantities. It didn’t matter if 10-15% didn’t go off.....................right away...............
Clarification, the title is "Danger UXB" and was broadcast on BBC in 1979 and on PBS' "Masterpiece Theater" in 1981. As I recall, it was a very well done series and highlighted the cat & mouse game between the German Bomb makers and the British Bomb Disposal units. At first, these were simply unexploded bombs (UXB) but as the Germans realized the terror factor value, specific bombs were dropped with time and other fusing to make them ever more dangerous. To my limited knowledge, this is not something that any of the Allied nations ever did!
