After seeing Tery Jones "Medieval Lives" I expected this to be as good, but I was sadly disappointed. It is full of good information and some of the same goofy graphics and great scenery as Medieval Lives, but just doesn't seem to move along as well. It drifts off into too much trivial information and Terry Jones just isn't his irreverant self in this show. Just sort of boring.
