Alternate Versions as compared to what's on iTunes

I notice that on IMDB (and indeed on the DVDs), the show is listed as a 15 episode show. However, on iTunes, ]the same show with the same copyright and cast https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/bleak-house/id306976243 lists only 8 episodes at 51 minutes a piece (save for two which are listed as 52 minute episodes.) Doing the math, the iTunes version is about 100 minutes or so shorter than what is listed on IMDB.

Surely, therefore, there has been some editing for the iTunes version.

I was wondering if anyone had any substantial knowledge of this and could provide both here in the thread as well as in the Alternate Versions section of the show's page what the differences are.

Thanks a million.

I know this is late but I just started watching it on Netflix. On Netflix the first episode is listed as episode one consisting of 1 50ish minute episode. The rest of the episodes, 2-8 are listed as two actual episodes. For instance, episode 2 is listed as actual episod 2 and 3, episode 3 is listed as 4 and 5. Given this information I can come to no other conclusion than the first episode was 50 min and the remaining 14 were about 25 min in length and both ITunes and Netflix simply combined them to create 50 min episodes. I therefore do not think you are missing anything.
