- Certainly at lot worse than a 2" VT or Even an Off air recording on a high band
- format of a 2" VT. And it WAS worse than than an NTSC conversion (ie ep 1` of
- sea devils). The colourization was poorly done. There are many bits
- throughout in which the colour "misses" the B/W bits! Watch the chap walking
- the dog at the start. He has 3 hands:-
-
- 1) A B/W colour one.
- 2) A B/W one
- 3) An orange colour one!

- Maybe they colourized the cliffhangers with the 2" VT colour to stop the qual
- jumping too much. The titles looked completely rematered.
