Going Medieval ...

Ohhhh ... thanks Rick!! My search foo was disabled, apparently. I couldn't find nuffin ...

Your welcome. I tried finding the whole show online since sometimes you can find them for free at the network that aired them. I could only find it at pay sites Amazon and Vudu.

I probably am a geek, but I have had it recorded on my DishNet for over a year. I watched it more than twenty times. Then again, I teach British Literature and it ties in nicely.

I don't have paid TV, so I won't see that unless it shows up on OETA. What interesting tidbits did they talk about?

sounds like you are already living in the dark ages.


I don't watch much TV, but when I do, it's usually History or H2. Stay thirsty, my friend.

Same here...

Give us the highlights!

They talked about sanitation (which is you believe the normal scuttlebutt about the Middle Ages was non-existent), how they did laundry (which looked like really hard work -- note to self: buy a wringing washer from Lehmans ...). There was some discussion about their diet, which was more likely to be fish and plants than meat; and medicine -- a lot of which has been debunked (yeah, I'm not blood-letting anyone any time soon ... ) ...

It was pretty interesting overall ...

They showed a medieval travelling horse. It has a gait called the amble. It appeared to be a bit larger than a Shetland, and the amble made for a comfortable ride. They were easily able to carry on conversation.
