busybeeburns Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Anyone been watching this mini docu-series? Last episode airs tomorrow, they are really getting the most out of them houses. If you haven't heard of it, watch the whole first episode on youtube now: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZzfaGZpRaE]YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.[/ame] The first episode focuses on the outbreak of the Blitz in September 1940. Emotional eye-witness testimonies give a fantastic insight into day-to-day life on the home front. The first bombs used against Blitz Street are the SC50 (25kg of TNT), the most common bomb dropped on the first day of bombing in London, and the SC500 bombs, which contained 250kg of TNT. Some footage of wartime casualties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 One word to sum up this series: BANG and the dirt is gone Channel 4 missed a trick in not filming it in HD, those explosions would have looked sweet in HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 It reminds a bit of that 2001 series "Danger, Unexploded Bomb" about the work of the men sent to de-fuse bombs during the war, and how it was a battle between the defusers and the germans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
