NG Channel "Secrets of the Vikings"

I thought this was about 200 times better then the History Channel's much-touted Barbarian series. Lots of cool technical informationand equipment testing.Living history people seem to be doing all the re-creations as well (I think I recognized a couple of people from "Vikings Re-Created in Colour Photographs).

I love National Geographic Specials. [img]http://forums.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Check it out if you haven't.

"Next showing, Wed the 28th."

I just checked their program schedule online, and it doesn't show in the listing! What gives?

Is this on PBS, or the Hitler Channel?

It was supposed to be on the National Geographic channel.

Normally those channels run stuff in loops so try back in 4 or 5 hours (at least this normally works on the TLC/Discovery, ect)

unless of course the 3pm was the second time it was shown today [img]http://forums.armourarchive.org/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

It is a very good show, IMHO. I liked how they looked into the actual making of Viking weaponry, as well as testing Norse armour, weapons, shields, clothing and ships. I think it is most well researched show I've seen on the Norsemen, period.

Later!
