Greatest Knight
« on: 2014-03-29, 04:32:13 »
Brethren of the order and friends of the forum,
 May I firstly convey my most sincere apologies for my absence at court.
I have been toiling away, far from home for a number of weeks at my overlords (boss`) pleasure, with very limited access to modern forms of communication (interpidgeon). Working some very unsociable hours I might add.
I know I have an awful lot of catching up to do, and will endeavor to do this over the next few days.
I have news of a documentary that my good lady wife Joanna recorded for me in my absence. I have not had the opportunity to check if it has been posted on here yet so forgive me if I am repeating previous posts.
This is a fantastically well presented and researched documentary about our orders namesake. I do hope you can see it with it being a UK based BBC documentary.

For ever in your service,
G.

Yeah, the BBC hates everyone outside of the UK :)

All their streams are regional only.  Unless it's syndicated to BBC America it's hard for us to get.

Sorry you can`t get this on BBC iPlayer, and as I said, I apologized If I was repeating a previous post.

I would rather we have the same video posted twice than not at all. 8)
