I completely agree with Barb that the series had too much Ustinov, and not enough Twain for my taste. I find that Ustinov ranges from rather charming to utterly annoying, and notwithstanding his impressive ability to mimic sounds of man and nature, I spend most of the time worrying that he's going to break a hip. It is interesting to see the locales of which Twain wrote, so I'll watch the remainder of the series. But I'll do so inspite of, not because of, Sir Peter. How I wish that Michael Palin had taken on this project! Scott Dalrymple
