Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1979 ITV series about the activities of a Bomb Disposal unit in Britain during World War II.Lieutenant Brian Ash (Anthony Andrews) is a newly-commissioned officer assigned to 97 Tunnelling Company of the Royal Engineers. He is shocked to find his job involves the defusing of UXB's (unexploded bombs), a task he must carry out with only rudimentary training. Even as the unit gains experience and better equipment becomes available, their German opponents are continually adapting the bombs to make them more difficult to defuse. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Many of the bomb-disposal devices, at least on first appearance. The fuse extractor can only be used on level ground (the bomb is stuck in a wall halfway up a building). The clockstopper is an enormous magnet that stops the timer but not the spring-loaded Booby Trap. The steam sterilizer is too big for the section lorry and vibrates constantly. In the final episode they're using a primitive metal detector and assume it'll be unreliable too, especially as it's detecting a bomb where there's no impact crater. Turns out it's detecting a bomb that fell early in the war but was not reported. | |

Aluminum Christmas Trees: The tunneling companies that Ash is a member of were created in World War I to dig mines under enemy trenches, fill them full of explosives and detonate them. Blitzkrieg warfare made them obsolete, but as it happens the skills were useful for those digging up bombs and handling explosives, if not for defusing them. | |
