Bomb Girls far from a bomb

From Adrian Chamberlain of the Victoria Times-Colonist:

  • Global’s new show Bomb Girls has Victoria connections
    “When we first pitched the story, people said it would never work,” recalled the 44-year-old TV writer from his Toronto home. It did, though. Bomb Girls — about women working in a Second World War munitions factory — ranks as the No. 1 new television series in Canada, attracting an audience averaging 1.2 million. Following a six-episode season in 2012, a second season was launched this week on Global. This time there are 12 episodes — an indication Shaw Media is solidly behind the show. Read more.

Bomb Girls, Global – Season premiere
It’s 1942, and with the Axis taking every battle, there’s a real chance the bad guys could win. After meeting Kai, a Chinese-American who has witnessed the horrors of the war in Hong Kong, Gladys is determined to help Canadian POW’s – organizing a fundraiser that her parents aim to usurp as a PR opportunity. Lorna continues to deal with the fallout from her pregnancy, especially when both Bob and Marco learn the truth. Betty finds a vanished friend – but may end up wishing she hadn’t.

Filmed in public areas and on display, Dale and Andrea invite passersby to sit on their purple couch in the middle of a park or a busy street corner, and encourage them to share candid and deeply personal life stories on topics from love and regret; loyalty and betrayal; and examine the significance behind key events in their lives.
