July 11, 2009 – REPORT ON THE BBC "South Pacific" series: Thanks to Ron and Maria Henderson of Bristol, we have recently viewed the "South Pacific" documentary series. We are glad to report that Episode 2, "Castaways", has some good footage by Wade Fairley of the Taumako canoes under sail. We still have no information on possible broadcast dates for the U.S. or any place outside Britain. Please check your local television listings, or contact the BBC. If any of you have seen the series, and/or know when/where it might be broadcast, we would like to hear from you. |
