They've been running 'Danger UXB' (1979, Anthony Andrews, Judy Geeson, Iain Cuthbertson) for some weeks now. I don't know how fact based it is but the challenges presented by the various different bomb fuses and the typically British Heath-Robinson wheezes to get around each one make for fascinating viewing, it would be interesting to know how much of that technical content was based on historical fact.

I'm hoping they'll run 'Wings' (First world war, Royal Flying Corps drama) some time, as well.

My favourite TPTV material is the archive material from the likes of British Transport Films, Public Information Films and the Imperial War Museum's archives, documentary-dramas like 'Target For Tonight' for example.
