Tuesday, May 6, 2003 at 9pm ET
Six U.S. Army personnel and six British policemen travel to an ancient Roman military site not far from Hadrian's Wall in County Durham, UK to train with spear, sword and shield. They storm a fort, they campaign in sandals, they sleep five to a bed - and they'd come back for more.
KNIGHTS

What happens when one of Britain's top polo players goes head to head with a mounted policeman? Who will prove the better knight? It's not just jousting and swordplay these two gallant chevaliers will need to master. Join our knights at the Royal Armouries and Castle Bolton in Yorkshire, UK for falconry, courtly dances -- and learning to walk in full armor.

Five U.S. Marines do battle with axe, sword and warship against five British policemen.
