Thanks for the update Jonno, take your time. And thanks again Russ for sharing this! Would be interesting to see how Moth3r's recording compare, did danny_boy get back to you regarding his copy, Jonno?

So, this was first broadcasted in UK October '82, did ITV continue to use this particular master several times in the 80's? I got very nostalgic watching this without really knowing why but then I realized that it simply must've been this same transfer I had recorded on a betamax tape in the 80's (unfortunately lost to time) it sounds silly yes, how the hell can you remember that? But this is Star Wars, that tape was basically burned into my memory, you cannot miss the greenish hues and film-like contrasty quality of this early pan & scan transfer.

Discovered that this version was apparently broadcasted in Denmark as well, so I guess Swedish Television could've broadcasted the same master back then. Ok, enough of my useless babbling, are you going to keep it in PAL format? Not really necessary but would be nice with an alternative version with the main feature in NTSC.
