	Is that a repeat of the one which was serialised, or a new one? Edit - answered me own question "epic sequel to The Pillars of the Earth, set in medieval England" Jolly good :-D

	Lol - reminder set, and 'Oranges and Sunshine' to be recorded. Decent things to watch are a bit like number 9 buses. Nothing for ages, then 2 come along at once :-D

	You can say that again, last Saturday was so bad on TV we ended up watching DVD's. You expect that in the Summer as most folk are out and about but Winter should be one of the best TV viewing times, imo.

	Just seen this thread. I'm afraid to say - I messed it! Read the books and loved them. Hope that you enjoyed it.

	OH listened to it from the next room and was put off by the amount of blood shed and violence. From what I can recall from the book, there were more peaceful interludes than shown, but then they are not good visual events for TV! Like the previous series, the voices seemed rather muffled even though the music was OK. I'll stick with it next week, but if it carries on in the same vein, will give it a miss after that

	We watched it. Bit gory wasn't it. I wonder where the sets were made? I certainly wouldn't have liked to live there in those days. No trial, just hang 'em Could be very good so will keep watching Kingsbridge is in Devon innit.

	Read the Pillars of the Earth and found it really annoying. Lots of filler pages. I remember at one point the son went into the cathedral and up to the bell tower, and it took about 10 pages of filler. So this put me off the original series and therefore will not be watching this series. Ken Follett is a great writer and I have enjoyed lots of his other works, but these 2 just got me very annoyed!!!
