Page move
editIMDB has it as "The Trials of Life"; The old VHS cover has "The Trials of Life" [1] and on this page [2] hosted by the BBC it says "The Trials of Life". Mintguy
- I'm happy for a sys admin to move it back, if anyone thinks it realy necessary; and for the page to mention the issue. Andy Mabbett 22:20, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- You don't have to be an admin to move it back. Try it. Mintguy
Running time
editUK DVDs are advertised as running for 10 hours - that's 12x50mins. Andy Mabbett 19:05, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
Then why did you remove my mention that the episodes are 50 minutes long in the opening paragraph? Matt Deres
- The episodes are more like 30mins each. This is easy to check. PhS (talk) 09:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Please refer to the "DVD and Book" section of the article. The full episodes are 50 minutes long. The shorter episodes are abridged versions from a DVD.Cparsons79 (talk) 14:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction! PhS (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Episode summaries
editSimilar to those provided for Life on Earth and The Living Planet, I shall be gradually adding original episode summaries to this article to replace the current ones that were sourced from elsewhere. Chris 42 20:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
R4 DVD release
editThe information on the DVD release suggests that this series is available as a four DVD set in region 4 - has anyone a reference to back this up? I understood (in NZ at least) that only the 3-disc set was available Quadparty 22:29, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- The info on the back of the 4-disc set clearly states "Regions 2 + 4" (PAL UK). This description from Amazon states Region 2 only, but I have a copy of the 2004 DVD release, and it is as stated in the article. Chris 42 22:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Try also this link to the BBC's shop, which confirms it. Chris 42 22:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- The DVD might be dual R2/R4, but has it ever sold in either Australia or New Zealand in that form? Quadparty 11:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, now you have me! I don't know, so I think I'd better modify the wording.. Chris 42 11:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
