DVD #7; it seems to have covered the end of the war, plus some final thoughts. I have no idea what the remaining ones will show, but I'm now awaiting them.
Of course, part of the greatness of this is the spectacular narration of Sir Laurence: it is one of his best "roles." Never overly emotive; letting the words convey the meanings. Oh, to have seen him live in a Shakespearean drama! The greatest of the three English giants (Gielgud and Richardson, of course, being the other two). Side note: as I heard from a Richardson interview, the three of them decided to buy exactly the same model Brit bikes, Norton Commandos, and ride together. They picked a date--- it may have been when all had reached 65 years of age--- where all three would have felt they'd lived long enough and had nothing to fear. Imagine zipping around an English country road and being passed by that threesome! "Dear.... didn't those three gentlemen look oddly familiar?"
