Acorn Media US lists it as approx. 248 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Apparently somebody made a typo somewhere. Acorn has corrected it.<BR/><BR/>I also did a little calculating. The last BBC <I>Pride and Prejudice</I> was a six episode mini-series. Each episode is approx 50 minutes. If memory serves, the 1973 <I>Jane Eyre</I> was a five part mini-series. Five times fifty minutes is 250 minutes -- very close to the 247-248 minutes running time given by Acorn Media.<BR/><BR/>From that, we can infer that they kept their slicing and dicing to a minimum. Most certainly it will include the Lowood episode that had been deleted from the original PBS broadcast.<BR/><BR/>We will learn soon enough since I just got my email notification of shipment from Acorn.<BR/><BR/><I>O frabjous day!

I heard back from one of the sites taking pre-orders in the US, and they were not much help. They simply restated that their version is that length and made no effort to explain why the UK edition would be longer.Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1146251030453149852006-04-28T15:03:00.000-04:002006-04-28T15:03:00.000-04:00Any word yet on the Run-time differences between t...Any word yet on the Run-time differences between the US and UK versions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1146236283526993082006-04-28T10:58:00.000-04:002006-04-28T10:58:00.000-04:00^_^ Yes, that's why I chose it.

The usual proceedings are interrupted by Blanche coming in (since we don't see Jane interrupt them playing billiards). Mr Rochester is chuckling at Blanche, here, after she has left in a huff.Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1146235479080972912006-04-28T10:44:00.000-04:002006-04-28T10:44:00.000-04:00Bah!
