The link to “The Making of An Age of Kings” is wrong as it takes you to the taster reel. The making-of can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eVKWCstX_I or http://vimeo.com/76686737

Subject: DVD An Age of Kings
A region 1 version of An Age of Kings has been available since 2009 in the US and Canada. It is reportedly not as high quality as the UK release.
With the availability of The Age of Kings in the US and Canada, I decided to work my way thorough the history plays in my video library.
So far I have viewed Richard II from The Age of Kings, The War of the Roses, and The BBC TV Shakespeare, the series that featured in my dissertation. I am currently viewing 1 Henry IV. I have ordered An Age of Kings, and when it arrives I will put that into the rotation of my history play extravaganza.
A report of my evaluations will be forthcoming once I am done, whenever that might be.
