- TriviaThe Far Pavilions (1984) was HBO's first mini-series, the complete version runs for 300 minutes, and the parts were titled "Return to India," "The Journey to Bhithor," and "Wally and Anjuli" (The current DVD release splits each of these parts into two, creating six parts each of about 50 minutes, adding a credit section at the newly created break in each part, and removes the title card names of the original parts). It was also was the most expensive at the time, budgeted at 12 million dollars.
- GoofsMost of the prop "jezails" carried by the Afghans were modified British Martini-Henry rifles.
- Alternate versionsThe 1986 UK video incurred 12 seconds of BBFC cuts. The newer 1998 VHS and DVD versions required a 1 second BBFC cut to remove an illegal horse fall.

Featured review
This miniseries came hot on the heels of 'The Jewel in the Crown', 'A Passage to India' and a fascination with all things Indian.
Ash (played by Ben Cross, best known for 'Chariots of Fire') and Wally (played by Benedict Taylor, who had featured in children's TV series 'Barriers') were the main players in this drama. Ash had been brought up to think of himself as Indian rather than officer class, and so falls in love with the sultry Anjuli (played by Amy Irving, at that time I think Mrs Steven Spielberg).
it was not a bad plot and had some brilliant dialogs i would say good acting overall
