a5c7b9f00b Actor and fight director Peter Woodward explores various forms of competition throughout the ages, reenacting historic fights with the help of a stunt team. Episodes have focused on topics ranging from gladiator matches to 17th-century dueling to modern air combat. I hope the history channel will offer this on DVD soon. It is a great Series and should be available. If they don't they are missing out on a big sale item. My family and friends all enjoyed this show while it was on and we always got together to watch it. We especially enjoyed the Pirate episode. He was the perfect host. We just always found the extras to be rather clueless lot. I mean when he had the show on ninjas and one of the "students" said "I thought that was a motorcycle." You could se the distaste on his face at having to say that line. We roared at that. It was both fun and educational. We really miss this show. If They won't bring it back they should at least offer it for purchase. Peter Woodward's brilliance shines through in EVERY ep of CONQUEST. He brings a special and UNIQUE insight to the history of armed combat. I am a High School History teacher and can testify to the overwhelming popularity of Conquest with my Honors/Gifted classes. This student population is Hyper-Critical about any form of entertainment, and in the area of history they do not suffer fools too gladly. Verily I say unto you that they think….yea KNOW that Conquest "ROCKS"!!!
