Tonight was Highwaymen, next up is Pirates.

Was most excellent.  :D

What a great series this was. All of the stories were told in an interesting and non-condescending way, unlike a lot of BBC history documentaries.

I would have loved to see the series as I am into both highwaymen and pirates. Unfortunately it was not available to non-UK residents. Any idea if it will be available on DVD or something?

Also, regarding the Outpost Wargames Highwaymen I can concur: They are great! This is (part of) my collection (painted by the awesome Simon Bradley)

As long as not one of those mini's is singing dodgy folk songs about being an Outlaw then they look brilliant from where I'm sitting!!

Before they're inevitably taken down, you can see them on Youtube:
