About this show

A single-camera comedy about a British bomb disposal detachment in Afghanistan. It's a show about something the public easily forget; soldiers really enjoy being soldiers. This sitcom shows us why, as it takes the audience from moments of intense action and adventure, out in the field, saving lives, to the fractious camaraderie as the unit waits around for their next task. Carefully researched and informed by actual soldiers and experts, Bluestone Four Two is full of compelling, surprising and hilarious stories about how our heroes pass the time that you just couldn't make up.

This show is Fantastic. When I first heard about Bluestone 42 it didn't attract me. That was until I saw part of an episode whilst channel surfing. This is now one of my favourite shows, really funny, one I'll be watching again and again.

I love this programme. Even if you are not military it is so entertaining and funny. Always remember "what's the first rule"
