Similarly, the copyright strap on today's episode of Casualty was nearly at the bottom of the screen as well (and the end credits nearly at the edge), so with pretty much any overscan (as people watching at the time on CRTs would have had), part of them would have been cut off, so there's no way it would have been like that in 1991.
And obviously scrolling end credits, especially fast ones (Casualty's are quite slow scrolling, so not as badly affected as other shows), are another thing badly affected by the filmising, makes them jerky and hard to read. I think the BBC's production guidelines state scrolling credits have to be 50i even on shows shot in 25p for that reason.
