Humour can be at its funniest when found in the darkest or toughest or most unlikely situations - and a British bomb disposal unit in Afghanistan ought to provide fertile ground. But so far this comedy-drama lacks subtlety and seems too puerile. In tonight's episode, team leader Nick (Oliver Chris, above) airs his complaints about the canteen food but then learns of a new - and endangered - food source that catches his attention, Millsy (Gary Carr) leads a retraining course and Simon (Stephen Wright) is ribbed about his age.

Now here's a daft premise for a comedy series. Couple Alice and Mitch have a drink and drug-fuelled threesome with their gay flatmate on Alice's 30th birthday. When Alice discovers she's pregnant they decide to keep the child and raise it together. Such a set-up might not comply with a lot of people's moral codes but, as it happens, it throws up some funny moments and there's plenty of good chemistry between actors Amy Huberman, Stephen Wright and Emun Elliot.
