Anyway, so much for having any street cred here.

Just a couple of old softies over here, too. It's cool that the great house is the Carnarvon family home, the dude who financed the King Tut expedition. The income from this TV show has afforded the present Lord and Lady Carnarvon to rehabilitate some of their historic abode. If you get a chance watch the behind the scenes episode, they even have some artifacts from Tut's tomb that they show off.
Cheerio, Bob
