Film of explosives officers up to their knees in shit, dismantling timers whilst being screamed at unintelligibly and having battery acid thrown at them would not, I fear, make sexy TV.
All of which happened in NI.
EOs working 24hr plus shifts, dismantling roadside bombs packed with shrapnel or clearing minefields when dog tired and being blown to bits as a result of being under staffed, under resourced and over stretched doesn't really cut it either.
If it has an anti-war stance it may have a chance of being watchable. But, authentic? Not a fucking chance . . .
