[edit] Page move

IMDB 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

[edit] Running time

UK 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

[edit] Episode summaries

Similar 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)

[edit] R4 DVD release

The 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)
