Danka, gratias and merci to all. Rocky, I hope it will air there too. Wouldn't that be the squirrel's knees? Bee's ain't got knees but the furry little critters do.

I'd like to hear from more than a couple of people on this, but...
I am thinking of taking some quotes from people who wrote to me regarding the documentary, and posting them on the main site on the documentary page. Something like, "This is what they said..."
If you were one who wrote to me via email, or posted comments here, would YOU mind if I posted said comments? Please let me know okay?

SUPRISE SUPRISE!! Marion.
Late this afternoon a package from Amazon, Lexington, KY arrived - the DVD was here a few weeks ahead of the quoted eta.
I sat for two hours this evening and watched disc one and two. It was a pleasure from start to finish - I would never have expected any more than a highly professional job from you M1 - and so it was. To see all the vets that I'd known only as names on the website, to hear from them and listening to your voice-over was a real treat. So evocative to see so much real combat that I had only seen in the Hollywood version of WW2 and to hear the stories told by the men who experienced them was great. You have done a magnificent job with Part1, now as you will realise I wait Part2 - Sicily.
Colin.
I am so happy it arrived MUCH earlier than expected. I know you were bummed with the stated delivery date from the states. Yikes!
Thank you for purchasing a copy and thank you for your review. I really appreciate your comments.
I am actually creating a new and separate site for No Bridge Too Far, and I plan on having a dedicated page for testimonials. So...I will ask your permission to use yours when the site is completed. May I do so?
Thanks again and yes, I know you eagerly await chapter three - The Sicilian Campaign.

Of course Marion you can use anything that I have contributed to this website, I am only too pleased you want to. I have also put a review of the DVD on the Amazon website which I would like to think might help sales! I note though it is not shown on the UK Amazon site?
Colin.
I really don't know. To be honest I haven't looked at any overseas Amazon sites. THANKS!!!!

Found out a bit more about the broadcast in September. Here is info about the broadcast area:
Hi Marion,
Torch TV is channel 26 in all Verizon FiOS households in Bergen County, NJ. Bergen County is the northeast corner of NJ and closest to New York City.
Regards,
Ed
BTW, FiOS is the fiber optic network system operated by Verizon.
Here is a map of Bergen County:

I went for it Marion and I'm very impressed - a great site for the documentary. So pleased to see the number of people prepared to comment and praise No Bridge Too Far and it's thoroughly deserved!
