He Who Dares: 5: Seven Seconds to Run

BBC One
on BBC One London

Six true stories of people who survive against all odds

At midnight on 1 October 1969, George Fletcher and Stephen Hambrook knew there was an 80 per cent chance they would be destroyed. The mine they were working on contained 1,500 lbs of explosive: the time fuse had seven seconds left to run.
This film reconstructs that night with the Bomb Disposal men who were there at the time. What happened to the landmine, and why was 1 October the most dangerous night of their lives?
A co-production with the Australian Broadcasting Commission
