Both Set 1 and Set 2 are fine examples of superb British TV acting and realistic re-creation of period ships, clothing etc. Could not wait for next week's episode when originally aired on PBS. Can't wait for additional sets to be made available

Rating: - COSTUME DRAMA AT ITS BEST

But when, o' when, will BFS release more of the 91 total episodes?!!
