Just great !, 20 April 2000
Author: gille-3 from Montreal, Quebec, Canada

We, my girlfriend and I, enjoyed being in another epoch. The people and their costumes made us go back in that time. People were polite and smiling. Life was more simple.

We really enjoyed that tv-series. Thanks to all those persons who have made us live a nice moment of the past.

We thank you all.
