The Diary Of Anne Frank

I’ve done some searching on tonight’s Sunday Theatre, which is The Diary Of Anne Frank, and something doesn’t add up.

According to it’s entry at IMDB the drama was shown as 5 x 30min episodes, but TVNZ are running it as a 2hr feature length movie.

So if that’s the case surely it would be of longer duration than 2hrs, including adverts.

Something isn’t right here and I’d like an explanation from TVNZ.

    This is how it has been released for international sale I believe, Australia’s UKTV also showed it as a 2 hour presentation,

    It’s actually the third paragraph I’m trying to get across.

    You see The Diary ran for 150 mins all up, according to IMDB, and TVNZ ran it at a running time of 125 mins or there abouts, according to TV Guide.

    So if you add the usual amount of ad breaks in that, surely it should have run longer than forementioned 2hrs.

    So was The Diary of Anne Frank cut or did we see less commercial breaks (not likely with TVNZ).
