Unfortunately that's the one version you can't buy. The 'Original, Uncut Version', or in UK 'Miniseries', have, as Redbear said, the episode breaks edited out. What you get is a 4 hour and 53 minute movie.
Well worth it, just the same.

That was me, but not all of the book is in the 'Uncut' version. Some things they had to leave out for the sake of good taste, for instance the whole Spanish freighter incident at the end. Still, it's far and away the best version. And I agree about the book: it's a must-read.
