Take a glimpse behind the velvet curtain and see what life is really like as a member of the family firm.

IMO, it was not very good, not worth buying.

Which parts of it didn’t you like PH?
I watched the series on TV earlier this year and thought it was quite a good documentary…

BRW,
I was ONLY referring to last night’s episode (1 of 5 parts) which was focused on the Queen’s visit to Virginia, William and Mary College, and the White House. Maybe it was the commentary provided by President Bush, countless chiefs and maids that turned me off.
I will have to weigh my opinions about the other four parts to determine if the whole is worth purchasing.
