We watched this and what a wonderful show it was. Waited for the end to write down where we could buy the DVD, but you can't. Not yet anyway. I would really like to have a copy. If anyone here recorded it, copy it and I'll buy it from you

Thanks, Rolly. I was wondering if this was the "Royal Tour" PBS thing. Might want to indicate that in original post. I know several folks who are trying to figure out where/how to view it.

Cheers and thanks again.

It was also on PBS TV viewable in Canada, USA, Mexico, and most of Central Mexico on satellite (Shaw Direct) with a satellite dish that only measures 36.5 by 26.5 inches. I can't remember but I think each show was an hour long. I didn't watch all of the shows. The show about Mexico was an hour long

I was able to watch this and other PBS programs on my home town channel 9, KCTS from Seattle, while on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, in Seattle and along the shores of Lake Chapala.

What was called Star Choice and now Shaw Direct has been viewable in all of Mexico and much of Central America on small dish mentioned above for more than 10 years (Feb. 21, 2001, If I remember correctly). The network stations from Seattle, Spokane and Detroit are all watchable on this small dish.

We subscribe to Dish Network here in Albuquerque and I have searched the weekly PBS schedule since this was announced and NADA! I found the links prior to Rolly's posting of the YouTube links earlier today. I watched all four parts on my laptop and certainly was entertained and informed by the piece! Learned some things that I didn't know and liked the flow of the program. Was it possibly a "fluff piece"? Maybe so but people with a stereotype image of Mexico might have their opinions changed by what they learn.

Right now, the Country of Mexico can use all the help it can get and it doesn't hurt that Calderon took five days out of his schedule to inform!

Thanks for the heads up on the You Tube segments, it was the only way I could watch it. Enjoyed the program and recommend it to all.
