	I desperately hope that this series will not be as bad as another
science program that PBS showed recently.  I do not remember the exact title
but the program attempted to show some theories on the various fundamental
forces in the Universe.  It had the narrator climbing up a light tower
and opening windows when explaining the march back in time to the beginning
of the Universe.

	The show lacked any depth for those who were Physics majors or
were knowledgeable about the field of quantum physics, and was bery confusing
for those who were not.  Either way, you lost out.

	Now, this is not an attack on PBS (I love them!) but just a hopeful
prayer that this series will offer something to at least the layman or
the knowledgeble person, or perhaps to both.

	I loved the BBC production of the _Adventure of Sherlock Holmes_!
I can't get over the fact that Jeremy Brett is THE most suitable actor
for the role of Holmes!  Arghhh!!  He's vonderfull!  <Excuse me for my sudden
outburst>.
