''HOW THE WEST WAS WON'' (1977) (mini), 26 December 2000
10/10
Author: mguneyli (mguneyli@interkom.com.tr) from Istanbul

I have seen the whole show in 1977 in England at ITV. It was an excellent TV show and I had to cancel my appointments not to miss it. It has taken me 100 years back. Photography,and the saga was so interesting. I have been trying to get hold of video cassettes of the whole show. Can anybody assist me ? It was also on TV in 1978 20 hrs episodes, 11 x 2 episodes in 1979. Plus 3 hrs in 1976.

Happy New Year to Everybody

Mehmet
