BBC One - The Bomb Squad, Episode 2

Following Search Team Nine of the British Counter IED Task Force on deployment in Helmand.

Documentary series following bomb disposal teams in Afghanistan, featuring helmet-mounted camera footage. A team is sent to search one of the most dangerous villages in Helmand.

For the first time ever, the Ministry of Defence has allowed the work of specialist bomb disposal teams in Afghanistan to be shown.

After a missile strike kills an insurgent laying an IED, bomb disposal operator Rod and his team are dropped into the area by helicopter to investigate. Captured on helmet camera, we see what Rod sees as he is standing over the bomb, which could kill him if he makes one wrong move.

Three months into their tour, Search Team 9 have already taken casualties. They have lost three team members but they're still at the front searching for IEDs and they are about to search one of the most dangerous villages in Helmand. 

The Bomb Squad is full of insights; from what it's like to be a bomb disposal operator working in Afghanistan for the first time, to searching for IEDs after you've seen friends killed or injured by them.

Documentary providing a look at the work of specialist bomb disposal teams in Afghanistan.
