The programme is titled and partly based on the memoirs of Major A. B. Hartley, M.B.E, RE, Unexploded Bomb - The Story of Bomb Disposal, with episodes written by Hawkesworth and four screenwriters.

The storylines were primarily military, with a romantic thread between Ash and an inventor's married daughter, and other human interest vignettes.
