Aha! Wait, I thought they were still utilizing the Lowry transfers...

Nope. Thankfully they've had the sense to upgrade to LaserPacific transfers. The Lowry transfers did show in HD though on the BBC pre-2008; they're the ones where the CGI cliff shot was experimented with.

Comparisons on TOD and LC look to be the same between sources for DVD and BD.

Again, nope not the same source. It's a 2008 restoration from Laserpacific scanned at 4K and processed at 2K. They appear to have received slight color timing tweaks, much like the new Raiders restoration but less so. Hues have been shifted so flesh tones are less red.

If anyone really has a problem with the color timing of the new BD box set, it's a simple matter of getting the 2008 HDTV Broadcasts. The timing is relatively similar to the Lowry, and it's available in really high HD quality (on the scale of 20 GB something captures).
