I also remember reading that the DVD of the 1996 movie was a botched IVTC, with blended fields all over the place. Is this true? (I know I could always Google it, but I can't be bothered right now). If this is the case, then a Custom DVD with the film frames reconstructed (Avisynth SRestore?) would be a useful first step before attempting any edits.

Yes this is true but I have yet to find a useful combination of filters to automatically correct it, there are many blended fields but also a few dropped fields.

I think some of the problem come from it being shot as 24fps and edited after pulldown at 30fps, then all effects shots were native 30fps, so the IVTC screws them up.

I once started correcting it manually (via AviSynth) and got about 20 min done, but I got quite bored and haven't gone back to it in a while.

I'd like to see a proper edit of the TV movie that removes any half-human references.

Hell, I might give that a stab after the new DVD comes out later this year ...

I hadn't heard about the new dvd ...(quick look at wikipedia and Galifrey base) ... looks like there will be more special features but a new / fixed transfer seems unlikely.
