Aaargh! My eyes!
I'm just rather half-heartedly watching 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' on Ch4 while I do some paperwork. Ye Gods, where have they got the print from, out of the canal? It's an absolute disgrace - jumpy and unstable, dark and grotty and it looks like it's been 'sharpened' in an attempt to rescue it.
I do wish TV stations would use their clout to insist on good copies.
The print of 'My Fair Lady' that gets shown on tV is ghastly - it looks ragged and again is unstable. This despite the proud 'Digital restoration by Hiram P Burbank' at the end. It looks far worse than the unrestored one!
