Das Boot has so far (1st series) for me been a great viewing experience , both the main story of the submarine operations and the subplot of the French resistance .
Also been watching an old dvd series, The First Churchills, which is set in the period from about 1670 to around 1715. John Churchill rises to become the Supreme commander of the English forces during the years of war with Louis XIV of France and is rewarded with one of the great palaces (Malborough House) as well as a dukedom.
