Thanks for the insight. I can only compare it to what my Grand Parents street was like (Croydon), a hell of a lot wider than the one in the show with trees and a whole load of other things to affect / deflect the blast.
I thought that the way they detonated the bombs, height, distance, way it was packed etc was sometimes iffy, however of course they wanted the buildings to still be standing for the next episode so that probably made TV production hard and of course they didn't have real bombs.
My grand parents said that lots of kids were injured picking up bits and pieces of bomb casings that turned out to be small bombs and things.
All in all, it was quite interesting and the slow motion replay of the explosion / shockwaves were good.
