Nicholas Beckett: It had to be voice-activated. But they didn't find any trace of the bomb. Well, nothing you could identify, anyway.
Ed Russell: From what I hear, they didn't find much of the Admiral either.

User Reviews

Wonderful series

One of the best television series to come out from Britain. Good plots,music score,etc. But when the producers decided to replace Craig McLaclan with Steven Houghton,to play the role of Ed,this was the down fall. Steven Houghton did not fit into the role playing Ed. The rest of the cast did a good job in their roles.but Steven Houghton was not suited for the role of Ed. Eventually the show was cancelled. But,the last episode,was very disappointing. This TV show is available on DVD and can be purchase from Basdvd.com or Amazon.com in the U.K. If you live in Canada or the United States,make sure your DVD player will play region two,European standard,used in Europe. Region one is the standard for Canada,and the United States. If your DVD player is a region one DVD player,on the internet,type in,video help.com. When the web site shows up,scroll down to hacks,press in your DVD player name,example,philips DVD 2800,this web site will tell you how to make your player region free. Most DVD players you can do this to,some you cannot.
