Connections, Connections 2, and Connections 3 are gold-mines of information. The information density is incredible, and it's enjoyable to watch.

The show holds up very well given it's age, but the image quality is especially difficult to watch on modern LCD screens.

I wonder if it was produced on film. This would allow a remastering, similar to Seinfeld [0].

In that era typically only things recorded in studios would be video, the rest would be film. So Connections could certainly he remastered, and I hope the BBC does so. Some of their older documentaries, like Ascent of Man, already got that treatment.

I think it was on film because it was released only a year later in the US. That was very difficult for shows on tape because of the 50Hz-vs-60Hz difference in video formats.

I fear that another BBC favorite of mine, How Buildings Learn [0], is too modern (90ies) to have been produced on film...

Don't forget The Day the Universe Changed!

I strongly agree.
