We started watching the series Danger UXB the other night. We watched it around 1980 on PBS and I had always wanted to see it again. I searched amazon.com and found the entire 1979 series for around $25. A great deal. Anthony Andrews (Brideshead Revisted) stars as an officer who finds himself reporting for a bomb disposal unit in London during the Blitz. The series keep you on the edge of your seat as you watch him and his squad try to defuse the unexploded bombs.

We are watching it with my dad who was in England during WWII, stationed at an air base near London. He remembers the bombing well but says it doesn't bother him to watch this. He said at one point his barracks were near an ammunition dump. The bombers made them real nervous.

My only problem with the series is understanding the British accents with my hearing problem. I usually subtitle these programs but these DVDs are not captioned. So I miss a bit but get most of it at least.
