content: I also saw this on PBS may years ago and loved it then. Found I still do. It's the kind of programming that doesn't happen anymore and most likely never will. Probably beacause of the expense and the extraordinary time length. It is long. The person watching would have to be as religious about carving out time to view it as I was. But I don't mind the lenght because I think it helps make it true to the book. And that's important to me. I have never seen a remake of this. So, I love owning the DVD because I know I'll see it again and again.
