583 Shogun



First  viewed  :  Autumn  1982

This  is  barely  worth  noting  as  I  only  saw  a  few  minutes  of  this  five  part   U.S.  mini-series   based  on  a  1975  novel  by  James  Clavell  about  an  English  sailor  shipwrecked  in  Japan  who  rises  to  become  a  samurai  warrior  in  the  closed  feudal  world  of  seventeenth  century  Japan. The  novel  was  very  loosely  based  on  a  true  story.

The  only  reason  it  sticks  in  my  mind  is  that  the  bit  I  saw  had  star  Richard  Chamberlain  being  urinated  on  for  some  transgression  which  was  not  normal  fare  in  these  sort  of  things.
