No! I didn't. I'm going to have to see if I can find it. I've been watching the series on the US Public Broadcast System and it's jumped around a bit. I want to watch it in order. But I'll have to do it late at night in my room I think. My Dad watches it, sort of. He usually naps waiting...

This sounds like a great read! Thanks a million!
