Is this version the same as the one which was aired on Masterpiece Theatre in 1989? This version says "1982" and only runs 60 minutes. The 1989 version was a miniseries and was not animated. The actors were the same--Holly Aird and Penelope Wilton, but there seems to be a difference. Can anyone explain the discrepancy? I thought I heard that the BBC did put out an earlier version. I have been searching for the miniseries practically since it first aired--nearly twenty years ago. Is that version on DVD or even VHS? It showed more of Beatrix's life than the Zelwegger version. I especially enjoyed them showing her interest in botany and the "Powere that be" not taking her seriously because she was a woman.
