Of-course if a TBC was used during the transfer, which it should’ve been, then those tapes must actually be damaged. The digitised result is what we’re currently seeing.

Yeah I think they might be able to fix the horrible glitching you posted by re-digitising it from the master. Hope so.

I would be surprised if they do tbh, after already spending the time to do it the first time. Especially to re-upload the whole season on YouTube again when they already have such a big task ahead with what’s to come. But hopefully.

Probably won’t be. Feels more like a tactic to hype up old-school retro BB, and thats the angle they're leaning into with this new one. Not a bad move, just… a move. Hopefully it’s at least a sign of good things to come.

They were on Betacam tapes which was the industry standard at the time but I agree with Theorists’ comments. You’ll also find the quality of the pre recorded programming IE Daily shows etc, were all higher quality due to the way they were post produced and played out . Live shows you’ll find there is more compression on them as they were recorded off the live data link to broadcast playout.
Word is that all these tapes were stored at 10 Pyrmont and not really looked or touched since the 2008 axing.

There is the possibility of a few AI programs that are able to savage and repair issues with older tape content so will be interesting to see if they use it/try
