Yo'; I saw that show! It was COOL!!! So indepth and well presented. And what an idea...have it narrated by the star of "Shogun" himself...Richard Chamberlain!! It just goes to show you, if it's presented right, history can be truely facinating.The use of period paintings, re-creations and the clever way it was written made the 3 hours go by so quickly! I hope they repeat it at some future date...I'd watch it again for sure!! Abayo!!
