Am listening to vol 5 this week, so far I am 5 episodes into it
Urth is not one of the best, but it is by no means the worst.
Crown seems more promising, but there is one almighty goof in the first episode. After they see the grave of someone who died in 1596 Barbara concludes they are in the late 15th / early 16th century. I had to listen to it twice to be sure I had heard it correctly, but that is definitely what she says.
As I would have thought everyone knew, the 1590s was the last decade of the sixteenth, not the fifteenth, century. Just like those of us who lived through the 1990s will recall that it was the last decade of the 20th, not the 19th, century. Not only does this goof make the characters look thick, but it really doesn't reflect well on the behind the scenes folk at BF - writer, producer, script editor, director, actors, etc who let that line go through. If I am missing something and have misunderstood the line then I owe them all an apology, but it doesn't seem like it to me.
