Did the BBC produce HD programs in HD at 4:3 ?
Odd it wasn’t widescreen using new tech for that period.
It was upscaled from standard definition. Upscaled SD can look surprisingly good when it's not being chewed up by ancient MPEG-2 encoding, but it's not comparable to true HD - this programme was around eight years early for that. As for widescreen - 16:9 was starting to come onto the scene at around this time, wasn't it? How late was the BBC still making 4:3 shows?
