very rarely end this way
But if you are the least bit hard of hearing, or, you don't do all that well with some kinds of English accents frequently spoken a high-speed, over roaring background noise, TOO BAD. There's no closed-captions for the audio soundtrack.
Now, if you "buy" the three-part movie on Amazon Prime, there ARE closed captions, but there are none on this DVD! Just hope that at some point your "purchase" of this movie doesn't disappear from Amazon Prime as it has with some others. Remember -- what you think of as "buying" a movie on Amazon Prime is really only an indefinite kind of rental!
Bad sound. Ship rocks 75% of time VIOLENTLY. The characters have no character. The story is hardly a story.
6 hours could be reduced to 30 minutes. The producers forgot or never learned the art of editing.
My question is: why was it ever made? A string of bad choices.
My only quibble is that each episode ends with some not-quite-closed plot elements. You know pretty well what will happen, but I look to the storyteller to show how it happened.

Anyway, I'd already watched the movie and it is great !
Edmund Talbot, young wealthy nephew of a sea lord, sets off on a journey to a Government position in Australia in 1814, taking a hutch (sorry, Cabin) in a leaking on-its-last-legs former ship of war. With him are various passengers, and a crew drawn together for the trip at the last moment, as well as the poor people crammed in steerage (ie, below decks). A series of events takes place on the interminable journey, they get held up in the doldrums, find another ship coming towards them in the mist, narrowly escape disaster with ice, and proceed to the southern ocean with the ship just barely creeping through the increasing waves.
The film is based on the diaries of the lead character, thus Edmund Talbot - played by the now rightly famed actor Benedict Cumberbatch - carries the bulk of the film on his shoulders, depicting a character that is often naïve, often very unsympathetic, but by the end of the voyage, chastened and grown-up by experience. His performance is wonderful and completely compelling. He is aided by a wonderful cast, everyone from super Jared Harris as the captain, Sam Neill as educationist Mr Prettiman, Brian Pettifer as servant Wheeler, to Joanna Page as the sudden love interest Marion Chumley.
THIS VERSION of the film is edited differently from the original broadcast. It was first broadcast as three films - matching the three novel titles - of 90mins length each. Here, those three are now two of 135mins each. Nothing has been taken away or added, just split in a different way. I found it perfectly acceptable if unexpected. The dvd's are a Netherland's issue, with dutch subtitles which I turned off.
This is a superb drama, and if you ever find that your ancestors crossed the seas in previous centuries, you may wish to consider whether they experienced steerage on a vessel as bad as this. Every scene creaks, the sets and actors are thrown about and regularly soaked, the lead character Talbot being a tall man - like Admiral Hardy - gets knocked on the head several times, and you really wonder, as do the characters, whether they will make it to the antipodes or not.
