Any of you Brits see "Danger UXB"? If so, how was it?

I agree with everyone, COMBAT! was a great TV series. I think it was the longest running of its kind or something.

Yeah, I have to put my hand up for Combat too, great series, just wish it would come back to our TV screens. Tour of Duty is another favorite, not happy with the scheduling though, been started about 3 times over the past 5 years and each time it disappears mid way through the first season. Time to watch Band of Brothers again too...break out the DVD's

I think "The Longest Day: 2 Disc Special Edition" is the best.

Your right Wayne, they should stop showing M*A*S*H ( I have all the DVD's) and should start showing COMBAT! again.

Am I the only one that watched a Piece of Cake . Cant believe the Brits don't mention it
Spitfires , Lo Flying , Great dogfights and such great dialogue
Such as this pearl between two pilots while retreating from battle
]
'Mother' Cox: Is that you, Moggy?
'Moggy' Cattermole: Yes, indeed as I live and breathe. You okay?
'Mother' Cox: I've lost my fingers!
'Moggy' Cattermole: That's a bit careless, old boy. Have you ever seen Peter Pan?
'Mother' Cox: What do you mean?
'Moggy' Cattermole: Well, don't you remember Captain Hook? I mean, he got by. I think they can do anything these days
'Mother' Cox: Thanks a lot, Moggy!
'Moggy' Cattermole: How are you going to land?
'Mother' Cox: I don't know. My mother is going to be furious about this!

Since I am the grandson of a Black Sheep, Im kinda biased... For TV, it was top nutz...

Combat! was pretty good, but Band of Brothers changed the world... Tour of Duty was ok...

Your right primus, Band of Brothers is probably one of the most breakthrough productions about war.

I used to think "The Rat Patrol" was a great series.

Band of Brothers and Combat. They still show Combat here on Comcast at 17:00 every day. I try not to miss it. Kinda cool seeing all the "guest" stars that they have on the show when they were still fairly unknown. I think there used to be another one called Battleground I used to watch when I was a kid.

Stargate SG-1 although that was Sci-Fi Combat/Exploration Series. Also Catch-22 I found good.
