Not a documentary drama, but the real thing, across the USA, staring your neighbors and mine. Done only as Charles Kuralt could do it. See my review for huge amounts of detail.

More mystery but also a dramatic series of the home-front in southern England during WWII, 1940-45. Powerful. 19 feature-length stories you'll enjoy again and again. Period documentary combined with mystery and suspense. Read my full review. Thanks always for the helpful votes. They let we reviewers, who work for nothing, know you are reading the reviews.

Probably the best set of DVDs and TV series made in the UK. Well, there is "Monarch of the Glen" but that's funny, romantic, and not political--but 5 stars.

A story about anti-slavery and its end in Great Britain. A value. Love the song at the end with the bagpipes. The music is worth the price.
