Did anyone ever watch the 5 hour miniseries in English?

I'm curious to know if this was ever broadcast in English as a 5 episode miniseries?

I know it was released in English as a (heavily edited down) feature film, but I've yet to see any trace of the English language miniseries. Perhaps it was only ever shown complete in Italian?

The original broadcast would have been around 1981/1982, if it happened? Its strange that there are no posts here from people who remember watching it at the time - which has sparked my curiosity.
