Been meaning to ask actually, though I suppose Technologist's post pretty much answers it. Not sure if it might be better as a new post actually but I'll put it here for now.
Old shows such as this would have had their subtitles squirted through Teletext page 888, in the analog TV days on both Ceefax/Oracle (later Teletext).
Would the data for those subtitles have been embedded on llne whatever it was teletext (21?) in the VBI at the point of editing or added prior to broadcasting and thus is technically still available, even though teletext in that fashion isn't available any longer? Or do broadcasters have to effectively remake the subtitles for modern methods of broadcast via Freeview/Sky/Virgin?
