      • Bomber is a two-part British television miniseries, written by Rob Heyland, that first broadcast on ITV on 5 January 2000. The series, based on an idea by Leslie Grantham, stars Mark Strong and Andrew Lincoln as the leaders of a group of bomb disposal experts working for the British Army. The series was produced by Zenith Entertainment, in collaboration with Archie Tate productions.
      Series writer Rob Heyland said that several years prior to transmission, the series would not have been possible. "I don't think I would have had access to the EOD [Explosive Ordnance Disposal] people for a start. They were incredibly sweet and accommodating and quite amused by the idea of a tubby idiot coming in and saying, 'I'm going to write a story about you.' I spent a lot of time with them, I watched them training and I got all sorts of information that, previously, you would have had to be John Pilger to get access to."
      Due to the sensitive nature of the programme title, the series was not broadcast in Ireland, instead being replaced in the schedules by Die Hard with a Vengeance. The first episode gathered an audience of 7.62 million viewers. The series was released on VHS in Japan in 2001; currently remaining the only home video release worldwide. However, in 2017, Simply Media acquired the rights to the series, suggesting a possible DVD release in 2018.
