I heard about the series when Minnie Driver was interviewed. My dad took us traveled around the US by motor home when I was a kid. We had encountered the "Gypsy crowd" many times in campgrounds/road. Dad warned us about "them", but in reality we never had any problems. It's the same all over. You have to watch out not to be taken by anyone. Stock broker, President, or Gypsy. I was curious how they were going to portray what is considered an under-class by many. Good or Bad. I don't know the inner workings of gypsy family clans, but from what I see so far, the portrayal is as close to reality as the censors will allow. The first 2 episode have already shown that no matter what social class you are in we are all the same. We all have the same needs and temptations. We all want the same thing. "The American Dream". I think the "Riches" are going to realize they were happier on the road. Proverb: You don't own possessions, possessions own you. Only two flaws, the accents, and how did he find time to learn how to golf that well on the road? I finally understand what preacher cookies are. Only took 50 years. Da!!!

WYCC channel 20 in Chicago "WISE TV" PBS station started airing this program recently. It isn't listed by our cable station or broadcast station by its title. Itis listed as "to be announced". I like the series but know very little about the beginning. Started watching at the episode where they are moving the clinic back to the tavern. Any idea what episode this is and where I can find a list of episode titles and brief explanations? Is this series still being filmed? Since the station this is airing usually shows old BBC programs and programs that had a short life, I assume Distant Shores is also no longer being filmed. I do like Peter Davidson. First watched him as one of the Dr. Whos'2
