I saw it last year, too. A good series, but heavily padded with continual repetition after the commercial breaks.

I noticed the predominance of UK steam as well. I think it was at least in part a British production.

| Might be entertaining to those who didn't know about the subject, but I for one, found it boring and over dramatized. Best thing to do, read a book.
