Bomb Disposal Officer (Episode 6500/01)

When Chesney Battersby-Brown borrowed an old metal detector that had recently been given to Tyrone Dobbs, he discovered what was thought to be an unexploded bomb from World War II in the back garden of the Peacocks house. A panic-stricken Eileen Grimshaw, who was babysitting for the family, was quick to alert the authorities who swiftly arrived on scene and oversaw the complete evacuation of Coronation Street.

With the Street residents safely housed at a nearby Community Centre for several hours, the Bomb Disposal Officer carried out the controlled explosion of the device and the residents were finally allowed to return to their homes at nightfall.
