There were a few Mr Bean episodes with location work done on film as well, not just the two entire location episodes- was quite inconsistent really how it bounced between film and video. Then again Ab Fab was the same with the seemingly random pieces of location work done on film.

Of course when these shows were made, the idea of them being upscaled to HD and seen on big screens is not something that ever crossed the producers minds anyway, whether they choose to shoot on film or video, there'd never have been any thought of it being seen at any better quality than those old telecine transfers (especially considering many of the film inserts were thrown away after being telecined). Being able to make HD remasters is an unintended side effect in most cases. Plenty of occasions where the HD remasters of old show flaws in the sets, make up, effects etc. due it it never being intended to be seen in that quality- the original Star Trek is full of it, so is the 60s Twilight Zone Blu-Ray I have.

Interestingly in the Twilight Zone case- there were 6 episodes of that in the second season shot on video. Even discounting the inability to upscale to HD (which wouldn't have been a consideration in 1960- in fact the picture quality of the 1960 telecine transfers of the filmed inserts in those episodes is significantly worse than the video shot footage), the technical limitations of video at the time severely artistically limit those episodes (which is the reason why they stopped using video), you'd have to wait around another 20 years until you started to get the same creative freedom with video as you did with film.
