First of, you need to know that the "UXB" in the title stands for "UneXploded Bomb". Released in 1979, this series features the operations of a bomb disposal unit in wartime London. It is amazing to see the risks these people took in diffusing bombs. It also gives you an idea of the types of Nazi bombs and even the strategy to deliberately drop bombs that do not explode on impact, but are "ticking time bombs" that have the goal of frightening people and possibly kill bomb disposal technicians.
By watching this series - and combining it with internet lookup's - I learnt quite a number of things about bomb fuzes, their different types and working mechanisms plus how to disarm then. It even got me into how the boobytrap mechanism worked.
Combined with some decent acting and quite some bomb disposals in the field, I give this show a rating of 7.0/10.
