^It’s too bad that it was shot on video. In all honesty though, I’m not sure it would have the same feel without that video look to it.
Classic Who, like most BBC series, was shot on a combination of film and video. The restoration team went back to the original film when it could be found.
I am aware of this. IIRC, it was mostly location scenes that were shot on film, because lugging a video setup around outside the studio would be too expensive and troublesome.
They could release restored episodes on Blu Ray with less compression though if there was a market for it.
I wish there was a bigger market for it, because it would be nice to see them on blu.
