Should send one to the BBC...imagine cocking this story up - but they did..
The drawings were made by a young artist called Laurence Fish for MI5's counter-sabotage unit.
And there are timing devices ranging from the highly complex to the remarkably simple - like a test tube full of dried peas which expand as they absorb water and push two contacts together.
All were unpleasant weapons dreamt up by German sabotage experts to spread havoc among their British enemies.
Obviously the Beeb thinks that (wishes) MI5 were GERMANS,
IDIOTS!
