I totally agree with Rob. I saw the programme and recorded it but cannot recommend it to anyone for information on really early guitars. It was a very narrw view of the history of the guitar. Nobody cared to mention the way the guitar acompanied migrants from the south of europe to latin-america whereas a large part of the programme was dedicated to the northern-american guitar.
