Still havent received my dvd. Estimated delivery date was Feb 3. Standard delivery(mistake I guess). Have not been able to track it. Did anyone else in the US have delays with the delivery? I guess I will wait a little longer then may have to reorder as priority.

Kygal...I got my Dvds just fine, and a little earlier than estimated arrival. (they came usps not ups or fedex). I figure I'm in the same region as you, I also took the cheapest delivery option and I think I ordered mine after yours, but I've had mine at least 2 weeks. That really s*cks! I think I would try for replacements before giving them any more money! (even though it's for Rufus and would totally be worth it.)

How irritating, Kygal! Did you order yours from UK Amazon? If so, they are VERY good at customer service. Drop them an e-mail letting them know you haven't gotten your DVD yet. I recently purchased a non-Rufus DVD (GASP!!!  ) that was sent via Royal Mail with no tracking available. It didn't show up so about a week after the expected delivery date, I e-mailed them and got a reply within a half-hour telling me they were shipping another copy to me at no cost. |

LOL @ rumantic! As an update ... the replacement DVDs arrived via Royal Mail yesterday! I'm going to have some fun watching them over the next few weeks! (Yes, it's the complete first four seasons of the original UK version of "Who Do You Think You Are"! I'm a genealogy nerd who has been frustrated that that program has never been ... and probably never will be ... aired in the US.) Yaaaay for UK Amazon's customer service!  |

It's ok Judy....I'm a sucker for Antiques Roadshow and historical documentaries, particularly about Rome. I prefer to think that Rufus would like us because of our nerdiness, instead of in spite of it.  |

Judy, I love Antiques Roadshow too and recently saw a UK version on tv I had never seen before, which reminded me that there is a U.S version of "Who do you think you are?" to be shown on tv very soon, as I just saw a commercial for it. (Maybe you already knew that.) It looked very intrigueing.

I'm a major history geek, so Antiques Roadshow has been my favorite show for years! BBC America used to run old episodes of the original UK version that were great to watch as well. I watched the American "Who Do You Think You Are?" last season and am watching the current season now. Even my magazine reading is heavily history-oriented ... Genealogical journals, Smithsonian, BBC History magazine, and very soon, History Today (from the UK!). Have I completely bored all of you who came to this thread thinking you'd be reading about the Zen DVD? |

Might I also suggest Archaeology magazine? (I wanted to be Indiana Jones when I grew up....that magazine is awesome, although it would be better if there were pictures of Rufus in it.)

Judy, don't worry, I think those shows both sound very interesting. Would you mind explaining a bit more about them - never heard of them before with my limited access to the English-language TV world.

Thanks to Judys advice a replacement dvd is on the way! Hubby teases that the FBI intercepted the other one. When I ordered the first one my credit card company called to question the charge. Glad they check on things but I order from Amazon all the time. I guess the Amazon UK thru them. They probably think this crazy lady is ordering more Rufus Sewell stuff! I may be on a watch list...haha.

Hope that one arrives very fast! (And take care, now that you're on the watch list for Rufusitis ... maybe they fear that will be the new pandemic after swine flu ) |
