I desperately hope that this series will not be as bad as another science program that PBS showed recently. I do not remember the exact title but the program attempted to show some theories on the various fundamental forces in the Universe. It had the narrator climbing up a light tower and opening windows when explaining the march back in time to the beginning of the Universe. The show lacked any depth for those who were Physics majors or were knowledgeable about the field of quantum physics, and was bery confusing for those who were not. Either way, you lost out. Now, this is not an attack on PBS (I love them!) but just a hopeful prayer that this series will offer something to at least the layman or the knowledgeble person, or perhaps to both. I loved the BBC production of the _Adventure of Sherlock Holmes_! I can't get over the fact that Jeremy Brett is THE most suitable actor for the role of Holmes! Arghhh!! He's vonderfull! . -AG Hirai -- Eiji "A.G." Hirai @ Swarthmore College, Swarthmore PA 19081 | Tel. 215-543-9855 UUCP: {seismo, rutgers, ihnp4}!bpa!swatsun!hirai | "All Cretans are liars."
