Oh, LORD, this is JUST what I have wished and wished they would do,
except of course that I wanted them to invite ME along. But I'm not
finding it on US TV yet. PBS doesn't have a listing for it. Has
anybody found it here south of the border?

I don't know if any of you are following TVO's
presentation of
the BBC series that follows the lives of several archaeologists/
experts who
are recreating life in the 16th century. Unlike most reality shows,
this one
is not set up for conflict, rather for discovery, hence the reason
they
chose people who were knowledgeable of, and experienced with
recreating, the
period in question.
The costuming is wonderful, right down to the torn
shirt of one
of the fellows, frayed hems, grotty nails and all. They're eating real
period food, doing real period tasks, with knowledge and in some
cases with
additional expertise. There's no whining and whinging and secret
caches of
modern items. They are completely and utterly dedicated to their
year in the
16th century. It has been an interesting journey and I look forward to
further instalments.
