I've thought that about some of the other shows that have been affected too (the episode name/writer captions and copyright strap on Casualty in particular feel very close to the bottom of the screen, especially as I'm watching with overscan turned off, definitely doesn't look like what would have been graphics safe by 1991 standards), so it's possible that whatever's causing the de-interlacing on these shows is zooming in slightly too.
When this filmising first started happening, the affected shows also had a thin black bar at the top of the screen, but that got quickly fixed (I think EastEnders and Some Mothers Do Ave Em were the only shows that had it). A shame the bigger problem of de-interlacing wasn't fixed too.
Talking about Casualty, but unrelated, was interesting to see Jerome Flynn in today's episode, as Robson Green was playing Jimmy the porter at this time, rather unfortunately they didn't share any screen time. I think the first series of Soldier Soldier had already been shown by this point (though I don't know which was filmed first). Obviously Unchained Melody was still 4 years away...
