You'd hope the original broadcaster would have broadcast quality archives. It's not like they'd keep them on LP VHS. The BBC has had to do various work to keep the archives accessible, mid-90s stuff like this was probably recorded on D3 digital composite tape, but that's now long obsolete, so has to be transferred to modern formats (nowadays as files on LTO tape AFAIK). AFAIK stuff on 2" quad (the first practical video tape format, used from the 1950s to early 80s) has been transferred at least twice, from quad to D3 or DigiBeta, then to files. |
