There is one other passion of mine that occasionally overlaps with my other two: history. The love of the outdoors is an obvious one as much of my free time is spent outdoors (or writing about it).įood and cooking is something that is a bedrock of my cultural upbringing. The food, the ritual, the sharing…all aspects that echo well into my adulthood.

I have three passions in my life that were sparked in childhood. “Only the rocks live forever, Gray Wolf said.”

Winter trip reports, gear overviews, tips, and techniques.

Road trip and car camping – gear and techniques.

Memories of Centennial – A Retrospective Look at Centennials Place in TV History.

So if you’re looking for something a bit different to your usual Netflix viewing, you can’t go wrong with 20+ hrs of Centennial! So despite the actors not being ‘perfect’ for the part (Richard Chamberlain plays a Scot with the best ginger wig ever, and the most horrendous Scottish accent), considering it’s the 70s it’s an engrossing rather wonderful bit of telly. Though these NA’s are played by any actor who is foreign…for example, Barbara Carrera plays ‘Clay Basket’. It seems the story will be about one town, and the families in it, but also talks a lot about the land, environment and importantly has a big Native American presence. Now this is a big box set, and so far I have only watched episode 1 (which is almost 2 and a half hours long) and it is PERFECTION…even Mr 60MW sat and watched and enjoyed it. Not only had I never seen it (or heard of it) but it stars… Richard Chamberlain. You can’t begin to imagine the pleasure I had in discovering Centennial. This may be a very biased review of an old TV show! I have for years sort of ‘collected’ TV shows that I vaguely remember as a kid from the 70s, that I now watch with unbridled pleasure: Dallas/Dynasty/The Colby’s, yes, but there’s more: Alias Smith and Jones, The Thorn Birds, Shogun, Roots and North and South, shows that are historical in nature, with huge casts all overacting their chops off. I have no memory of it being shown on UK television and on looking it up I still can’t find any evidence that it was shown over here. It employed four directors and five cinematographers, and featured over 100 speaking parts, and now Centennial has been released in the UK by Fabulous Films. It was one of the longest and most ambitious television projects ever attempted at that time and ran for a total of 21 hours with a huge budget of $25 million dollars.

It tells the story of a town and the inhabitants of Centennial, Colorado, from 1795 to the 1970s and was produced by John Wilder. Michener that aired in America from October 1978 to February 1979.

Centennial is a 12 episode American television miniseries based on the 1974 novel of the same name by James A.
