I've seen that particular show. Its quite interesting. On the Challenger I (and perhaps also on the Challenger II) the Brit manufactuer included a little machine in the turret to boil water and make tea so the soldiers could take their afternoon break in the finest of English battlefield traditions :)

No doubt comes in handy. Long patrols, cold turrets...good for a caffiene fix.
