Though if we're at the point where the people who work there think that it's because "it's an old programme", rather than it just being something to fob off viewers (not that they should fob off viewers this way), then there really is a problem.

And it's not just The Upper Hand affected either, it's a significant chunk of their output.

I remember reading something similar when Red Dwarf came out on Blu-Ray, Series 3 and half of series 5 were filmised, and people there also got the "it's because it's an old programme" nonsense. Eventually they admitted there was a problem and issued replacement discs, but really these things shouldn't be happening in the first place (how many stages does Blu-Ray production go through for this to not get noticed?), let alone need a lot of repeated pressure to even get people to realise there's a problem and fix it.

I don't know if it's because we're in a world where people are just so used to seeing archive content through low quality social media videos and streaming services that only handle 25/30p that even many working in the industry just don't realise it's not how these programmes are supposed to look. So used to watching YouTube videos on mobile phone screens and the likes of Netflix and Amazon butchering archive content that when people are telling them there's a problem they're reviewing the footage they think it's "normal".
