Unfortunately, due to some sort of issue involving rights, it's not available for viewing on television or videotape. More's the pity - I'd like to see it again too. However, the possibility exists that things will be sorted out eventually, because there's a high demand for it. There is a listing for it at www.imdb.com if you want to double-check and make sure this is the right one. > > Robyn M Thanks Robyn! I was so close on the title, but not quite. Funny how we remember faint things over the years. And I only caught the title from glancing at a magazine cover, years ago! I saw it when I was a young teenager and it might not impress me as much today but it did seem to be such a fantastic story and I did see that it was rated rather well at your referred-to www.imdb.com site. I sent a request to my local PBS station to air it again. I would love to see it again. Unfortunate that it can't be purchased anywhere. ___________ JAMac (Dennis S.

For other fans of the series, it'll air again on the cable station MMAX on Monday, July 19th at 4.30am. I've been waiting about five years to find out what happens to Aauge Kruger, the evil Stig, Bondo, Judith, Mona, and Mary's ghost, after the first Kingdom left its viewers on a complete cliffhanger. I'll be sitting up with tea and popcorn to be sure it's taped correctly (no trusting video timers for something this crucial!)
