How do you live when your job can kill you - as well as everyone else around you? The year is 1940, and the blitzkrieg is in full force. A furious battle is being waged over British skies. On the ground, bombs explode by the thousands. The land is far from safe, as many more bombs lie amidst the rubble, waiting to detonate. Lieutenant Brian Ash and the brave men of the 97th Tunneling Company must accomplish their ongoing mission: to defuse all unexploded bombs (UXBs). These are the stories of their lives - unsung heroes and their wives, lovers, and families, all facing the pressures of one of the war's deadliest jobs. Brought to you by the award-winning producer of "Upstairs, Downstairs", "Danger UXB" features Anthony Andrews ("Brideshead Revisited") and a stellar supporting cast. Based on actual war memoirs, this 4-DVD set contains all 13 compelling and intelligently written episodes of the series.

DANGER UXB (FULL FRAME)

GREAT WWII BBC PRODUCTION ABOUT UNEXPLODED BOMBS IN THE LONDON AREA DURING THE GREAT WAR. JUST THE RIGHT MIX OF DRAMA, SUSPENSE, ROMANCE AND TECHNOLOGY (DEFUSING UNEXPLODED BOMBS). I LIKE THE ORIGINAL MUSIC SCORE WITH MILITARY BAND STYLE ARRANGEMENTS. THE OPENING SCENES AND MUSIC WITH THE BEGINNING CREDITS (THE SAME ON EACH EPISODE) ARE ALSO FANTASTIC. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE NO SUBTITLES SINCE THIS IS AN OLDER WORK -- COPYRIGHT 1798. THE THICK BRITISH ACCENTS , ESPECAILLY AMONG THE ENLISTED MEN, ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. HOWEVER, AFTER THE VIEWING OF SEVERAL EPISODES, IT EVENTUALLY GETS EASIER TO INTERPRET THE DIALOGUE. HANG IN THERE, IT'S WORTH IT. REMEMBER, THE AMERICANS AND THE BRITISH ARE TWO PEOPLES SEPARATED BY A COMMON LANGUAGE. ALSO, THE FULL FRAME VERSION IMPLIES WIDE SCREEN. HOWEVER, THE DVD PLAYS IN A 4/3 TYPE FORMAT ON MY HDTV. I HAD TO ADJUST THE ASPECT RATIO TO WIDE VIEW TO GET A FULL SCREEN VERSION. THERE IS NO NOTICABLE DISTORTION DOING IT THAT WAY. IT JUST TAKES TIME TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT.

Lowest Price Around

I have wanted to get this since viewing on PBS many years ago. Set during WWII, one doesn't have to worry about being current. Yes, this is DVD from film, but was made before BluRay and HD. Good low price with shipping via USPS. Obviously, I had a personal interest in the subject, so even if one doesn't really care what the Bomb Disposal Units of WWII did, there is another story line to keep your interest.
