Kenelm Digby

The Kenelm Digby (Stephen Fry's character) the article links to in the cast list lived a century before John Harrison. I will remove the link. --MattHelm77 (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Its the same person though. They dragged him into the story to explain some of the crack-pot solutions that were put forward for the Longitude prize. - X201 (talk) 16:00, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have both the US and UK DVDs, and both are 198 minutes. I find no evidence that the UK version was 250 minutes. Cglenn3932 (talk) 20:05, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

The DVD versions are in a cut "TV Movie" format. The original show was in a two part (2 x 125) format - X201 (talk) 07:07, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
