Bombshell is a British television drama series produced by Shed Productions, the company behind Footballers' Wives, Bad Girls and Waterloo Road. The series focuses on the day-to-day workload of officers and soldiers in the British Army, and was subsequently given the nickname Army Wives by the British press. Originally commissioned by Shed Productions in early 2004, the series was due to be aired by ITV in February 2005, but as of 2016, has still not been shown in the UK. An ITV spokesperson claimed that this was due to the similarities between the series and Ultimate Force. However, the series was shown on TV One in New Zealand in 2006, and on the Hallmark Channel in Australia in 2008. A DVD of the series was released on March 3, 2007 in New Zealand.[1]
