I just received this from my brother in the Bahamas -

"Just a quick line. I looked up the BBC4 schedule for Country Music tonight and I did a double-take as the programmes they will be showing in England are only fifty minutes long per episode. The original programmes are two hours long per episode so they have obviously severely truncated them. They are showing episode 1 and 2 tonight but each one should be two hours. BBC are advertising them as a nine part series but they are an eight part series of two hours each."

So be warned.
