(CNN) -- Through heavy oak doors, the butler emerges from the drawing room.

There's just time for an intake of breath, an adjustment of the tie and the obligatory bow of the head. "Mr Quest, His Royal Highness." Richard Quest has moved up in the world -- he's on a quest for royalty.

Thanks RhapsodyBrat! This should be pretty interesing. Did you vote or see the results pertaining to monarchy having a place in today's society? I did. The results are pretty close.

Thank you RhapsodyBrat for the heads up! I just saw a "commercial" for it on CNN, so for all who live in Europe, it will be aired on Saturday at 21:00 PM CET.

HRH Kerry · #6 07-26-2006, 02:11 PM

I get CNN Int'l since I have digital cable. I better check the program guide for the correct date and time though.

you're welcome kerry and GrandDuchess! i just voted, and it still is pretty close. which means many still have a high regard for the monarchies. :)

for some reason i could not find Quest's sked for Asia Pacific, but for those in Perth/Manila/Singapore/Hong Kong and Taiwan, it will be aired at 1400, 2200 PM Saturday and 0300 AM, 1400 and 2200 PM Sunday (GMT +8). i hope i'm correct.

Did anyone else see it? I did, so it'd be nice to discuss impression :)

Yeah, I saw it but not the whole part of the show..The ones that I've just watched were the interviews of an African King, ex-king Constantine of Greece, and the Duke of York..

Mahoogie, what time did it air? because, for some reason, i did not catch the show.:o i am feeling really stupid for not being able to catch the show. i'm hoping they'll show reruns this week. *sniff sniff*

I am also hoping for a rerun! I only saw parts of the show at 2 different times :( and I want to watch it as a whole.

By the way, RhapsodyBrat... you got the airing schedules right in that post. I saw the last part of the show (beginning with the interview with King Constantine) just before 2300 Saturday (GMT+8); and then the first part (until the first few meetings of Prince Andrew in Khazakstan) at 1400 Sunday -- unfortunately, I had some place to go to after that.

Now, what I have to see is what's in between and hopefully, next time, I can watch it from the beginning until the end and not the other way around
