Hi Harry,
 
Cleaning out email found this that I hadn't followed up on, and I located the answer--yes, this continental mini series was on BBC, per The Times, Thursday, Nov 02, 1978; pg. 9; Issue 60448; col F
     Michael Strogoff BBC 2 Stanlet Reynolds.
 
Review attached.
 
Now if we could just get a copy of the English-dubbed version!  (Anyone .... ?)  But at least the DVD is available in French on amazon.

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.
