Not Clancy, James Clavell.

I'm halfway through the first (long) episode, and thoroughly enjoying it, though the copious subtitles make casual watching impossible. The lead role of the English pilot, played by Cosmo Jarvis, who sounds remarkably like Richard Burton!

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously.... Not that I recall, and muchas gracioso mon cher amigo for mentioning it, as I thoroughly enjoyed reading Clancy's Shogun and Asia series (at least twice) and I think I can vaguely remember the Chamberlain mini series. :thumb: :cheers: :cheers: {Yo...

There's nothing spudlike about me...

He's young but, christ, get rid.
