I remember watching The Story of English
Yes!
Actually, it was long and I did not see it all. Think I only caught it when it was half way through.
Seems like they never showed it again.
Yes. The Story of English was one of the best programs I have ever seen. Amazing.
Yes, “The Story of English” was fascinating. No book could do it justice because the program allowed the audience to hear the fine distinctions in pronunciation. For example, one episode about the Scots-Irish demonstrated how not only words and accents but also music and dance migrated “across the Pond” then down the Wagon Road to the western Carolinas and then to the Ozarks.
Has anyone found this series online anywhere?
