War Mini Series

[abn deuce]

There was a series that while about WW2 was set not on the Battle field but on the Home front in London during the blitz titled "Danger UXB" with Anthony Andrews. a story about how the British Military dealt with the problem of unexploded bombs , lots shots of places , good shots of uniforms and a number of vehicles both military and civilian

I remember that one. It was quite good, especially once the characters lost the"wooden"aspect.

My other half is going to be so pleased with you(I dont think!), trip up to HMV tomorrow then.

Always aim to please!! :-)

 

Not sure if you'll be lucky at HMV - that came from the on-line seller Amazon.co.uk.

I m sorry if I dropped the ball , I was relating that the series existed , I had seen it in the seventies when it ran here on PBS Public Broadcast Service TV. . I had purchased it a year or two ago on DVD 4 disc set 10 hours 50 minutes.

And wondered if others had seen that series or had other mini series to chat about .

I can recall another that was set in northern Australia ? about a town occupied by the Japanese ? can't recall the series name .
