i have just reach thirteen when i first saw this series and i be watch it again and on dvd and over thirty year later . the picture over the opening credit have never leave me . it have affect my view of the world and the people in it . my parent be with me long enough to have see the series with me and and we always discuss the programme afterwards . it give me a love for study history and the high mark i get in our school public exam . sir laurence olivier voice and delivery be timeless and perfect . i get the feeling that the people who live through it would feel that this be their version of the history of the second world war . i can not imagine ever get bore look at it . maybe an similar cold war series could now be contemplate and although who could replace sir laurence be difficult to imagine . buy it .
