"Monarch" has gone - forever!

Oh yeah. I remember his television column. Heck, I think I've read almost everything he published, fiction or nonfiction. I met him once years back and he was a riot. Quick wit and when called for a savage sense of humor.

Is this MOTG a show that I can rent an episode or two, assuming I can find it, and get an idea of what the series is like, or do I have to have at least part of a season to get into it?

I, too, am saddened by the end of Monarch. While I thought it lost its way after Hector’s death, I felt it found it after Paul appeared. I enjoyed the show so much that I got Blackwell’s to send me the book. When the whole series comes available, I’ll get it and enjoy a wee dram in front of the fire too.

It is currently playing at 5pm (est) Mon-Fri on BBC America.
Some PBS stations carry it as well.
As for renting it, you might try a local library.
Our county library has seasons 1 and 2 on DVD that can be
checked out.
It is a great show but to me the best parts are the kilts and
the beautiful secenry.

You can certainly get an idea of the show but if you like it
a little you will find it quite addictive.
