Unfortunately, I only caught the teaser for that this afternoon, on my way
out to work.  I did catch the "Arms in Action" segment on the sword, and its
evolution.  VERRRRY interesting.  I'm hoping that both programs will air
again & I'll be able to tape them.  (I have every hope of it happening...My
dear old dad told me about the armor segment about 6 mos. ago when I told
him I'd joined up with the SCA.  Great guy my dad!!!!)
