[Neil Jones]

One thing that I will be interested to see is which copies of the latter episodes they have (ie the Tudor-Pole series), assuming they're going to show every episode of every original series. YouTube uploads from repeats aired on Ftn or pre-Challenge channels show there's a copy that has been given a butchering with a random ad break inserted at the half-way point, which looks silly. I assume that version will get used again anyway, but will be intrigued if a non-butchered version will get used by Sky.

Ftn was the old Flextech "shop window" on Freeview for the Flextech channels (so Challenge, Trouble, Bravo, Living), so it was owned by the same company as Challenge was at the time. So it'll probably be the same prints they've had for the last 25 odd years, including the ones Virgin butchered.

Although Challenge is the only one left out of all those services, as most were closed not long after Sky bought them, the exception being Living which lasted a while before being folded and replaced with I think it was Sky Witness.
