Got this for Christmas and I must say I am really enjoying this box set. Has anyone else seen it or owns it? If not and you enjoy Napoleonic Naval Warfare watch it.

EX...presumably you're referring to the UK series starring Ioan Gruffudd...I saw the series on TV a few years ago and really enjoyed it...it caused me to get the books and read them all...then I bought the DVDs, watched them all again. They did an excellent job and its follows the stories much better than the Gregory Peck movie....which is also most enjoyable.

It falls in line with the style of the Sharpe series of shows that was on A and E

You're JUST watching those now?!?! What kind of sailor are you?? ;D
Saw them all awhile ago. We used to watch all kinds of different series in the mess at sea and went through those once. To be honest, I (along with some others) weren't too thrilled when that was the new set that was picked to watch. I'm not typically big on History stuff, especially movies. But once it got started, we had trouble stopping at a decent hour each night and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Read all the books when I joined the Navy in 77. Terrific books. Saw the series when it was on TV and loved it. I might look into the boxed set.....where is it available and do you know how much or was it a gift?

If she's staying for abit, you'll have to let me know when and I'll try to make a trip over for a M&G. I was going to reply to your NYE post and ask if she had anything special (read: Robin Egg Blue Box special!!) to accesorize with!

This series would be a great way to spend some of your time. You should be well educated by the end of the 2 years.

I watched the whole series when it was A&E. It was great. I think I heard somewhere that they are making three more movies for A&E.

I hope so, but that goes contrary to what I have seen on other sites. Despite their success, they are expensive to make and A&E has not intention on making anymore.
