Part one was fascinating - heads up on part II tonight

I wonder if they will cover the artisian gunsmith that made Francisco (Pistol) Scaramonga's golden gun?

I loved the first two parts and will record the second two tonight. However, I'm out of town all next week and will miss parts 5 and 6. If anyone out there plans on recording those episodes for themselves and wouldn't mind burning me a set, I'd be most appreciative and would gladly cover costs.

I would love to watch that. But, since I am now very near the silk road, I can't get PBS. Oh well, I will just have to make do. I really like those kinds of programs though.

Okay, get this. After triple-checking my local edition of TVguide online, I sat down at 9pm to watch what should have been Part 3. Lo and behold, they're airing Part 1 again. Even the comcast on-screen guide said it should be Part 3, but not so. Duped! Now I have to figure out when 3 & 4 are actually happening here.

The Story of India is an excellent series, I watched it when it came out in 2007. I believe that there is a book to accompany it.

If you miss an episode then it's available on torrents. http://torrents.to/search/346/story+of+india.html

It was excellent as parts 1&2 but I kept nodding off and missed some of it

The PBS stuff usually gets recycled later in the week (I get both Chicago & Indy stations) so hopefully
I can catch this episode again before next weeks episode.
