Of course nothing beats going back to the original negatives and a proper restoration. It was shot on Super16mm so I would imaging it would get a similar improvement to Inspector Morse, better but not as good as if it were 35mm. According to forum.blu-ray.com , potentially opening it up to 16:9 is available if they were to restore it properly, but all the effects would need to be redone. considering the expense that would entail and the percievable quality increase, this was probably the best people could hope for.
