Padiglioni lontani

Padiglioni lontani (1984) was HBO's first mini-series, the complete version runs for 300 minutes, and the parts were titled "Return to India," "The Journey to Bhithor," and "Wally and Anjuli" (The current DVD release splits each of these parts into two, creating six parts each of about 50 minutes, adding a credit section at the newly created break in each part, and removes the title card names of the original parts). It was also was the most expensive at the time, budgeted at 12 million dollars.

Most of the prop "jezails" carried by the Afghans were modified British Martini-Henry rifles.

The 1986 UK video incurred 12 seconds of BBFC cuts. The newer 1998 VHS and DVD versions required a 1 second BBFC cut to remove an illegal horse fall.
