That's all they told me (nothing about running time) just the title and when
it was broadcast on the BBC. I could try and dig around some old Radio Times
online and see if that brings up any joy.

        Harry, Do they indicate which version (or is it pssible to tell by
running time?), or just title? ie, obviously the 1975 mini series was not
broadcast till at at least that time; presumably the 1961 and 1962 versions
were other movies, perhaps the 1956 Curt Jurgens big-screen version and its
sequel. Thanks, Brian

                  Our colleague Garmt has on his site at

                  http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/objects/strogoff.html

                  where, as he notes,

                  "On one and the same day, I found two copies of the
soundtrack of the 1975 TV series Michael Strogoff. One has the text on the
cover in Dutch, the other is in English. Strangely enough, the order of the
tracks on side B is different on the two records. Also, the English cover
claims the series to be a BBC series, but it was produced in Austria /
France / Switzerland / West Germany."

                  I have often wondered about this also, and have been
unable to find any indication of a British broadcast of this miniseries.
Can any of our friends in the UK be of assistance on this?

                  Thanks in advance.
