nz2 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Being outside of the UK, I can't view the programme on the bomb disposal training.BBC block transmissions, probably to gain royalities when sold to other countries. Even so the programme is dated by some decades now. Would any one have a copy of this on Cd they would be prepared to share? Thanks Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XWDV8 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 this is the info on the film: [h=2]The Bomb Disposal Men[/h]First transmitted in 1974, this is a documentary about bomb disposal teams, their training, and the problems of maintaining a family life in one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. It follows three Ammunition Technical Officers in the British Army. Broadcast on BBC One, 9:25PM Tue, 29 Oct 1974 maybe someone has a copy, hope this is some help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibales Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 For those outside the UK there is a fairly easy and free way to watch iPlayer/ITV Player/4OD etc. Download the Firefox browser and install the 'Stealthy' add-on. Then in the configuration menu set your country as GB. Sometimes you'll need to turn it off then on again and sometimes it doesn't like the java on the websites, but normally it's fine. I'm watching the BBC4 programme ( Part of a wider BBC4 British Army video collection ) about the 17th/21st Lancers in BAOR during 1968 whilst in Paris at the moment and about 5 minutes in there are a fair few ferrets happily motoring! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00jrhyh/Tuesday_Documentary_Death_or_Glory/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/collections/p00hl622/army-a-very-british-institution Cheers, Oli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
