I just found a BBC1 Christmas programmes trailer on the begining of the 6th December 1989 recording of the last episode of Dr Who episode 'Survival' as i was transfering the VHS of 4 episodes of 'The Curse of Fenric' & 3 episodes of 'Survival' There was another different one at the end as well

Alex it was posted on Richards Twitter, Retweeted on TIEAs twitter on December 9th, i remembered where i saw it earlier
4:3 1080 files are 1440 x 1080 and 16:9 are 1920 x 1080 so its common to switch between the 2 and black bars can easily be generated to make a 1920 x 1080 video or the image streched to fit.

Richard Russell posted this Illustrated using a frame from one of the Morecambe & Wise episodes, the main stages in the Colour Recovery process: 16 mm B&W film scan, measurement of geometric distortion, determination of the signs (+/-) of the U&V chroma, recovered original-colour image. Coded in BBC BASIC!

My archive has many from 1988- as i always kept the idents on the front of recordings, these are on VHS and can be transfered to Blu-ray HD here. There are over 1000 VHS tapes stored. Im sure all the idents i will have are not missing due to the dates. I have a few 1980 VHS recordings but mainly in the summer.
Every winter i pull a few VHS and transfer them, the process is made not easy by panasonic, as the tape is played at 1:1 and the Blu-ray disc is needlessly written at 1:1 when it easily could be written at High Speed [1 byte difference] Then the H264 reconvert is also 1:1 so it takes 9 hours [3x 1:1] + 3 minutes [high speed transfer back after changing the 1 byte to make it a DR direct recording] to do a 3 hour tape.
The few original Boss Cats i have from the last 1988 showing are now on hard drive and disc.

There is also a good transfer program called multiAVCHD although it hasnt been updated in 9 years, converts/or copies most video streams to a dongle/usb flash drive that will load into dvd/blu-ray recorders as AVCHD, it also has pal-speed up for NTSC 23.97 fps to 25fps. This program has presets for most recorders and works well with Panasonic Blu-ray recorders, the file can then be converted into H264 with the built in converters on the panasonic at 1to1 rather than the slower rates in PC software.

Looking at the episodes on the Goodies DVD there are a few that need working on
Series 1 Ep 4 Caught In the Act is in B/W but seems to have lots of chroma dots Series 2 Ep 2 Commonwealth Games B/W , hopefully has some chroma dots, not as obvious as in S1 Ep4 Series 2 Ep 7 Kitten Kong [Hopefully B/W with chroma dots] Series 2 Ep 8 Come Dancing [weak colour over B/w] hopefully a better copy or chroma dots
So if the original Kitten Kong is back it would nice to have the other 3 episodes restored, so the Goodies is complete in Colour again

Phil has stated in interviews that he will only return completed stories, or episodes that will complete a story, so that limits this if he has found anything, except the expect the unexpected at any time. We know he found cans when he dug up the desert, although he has not stated what or the condition of the film inside. Also that container load that came into the country a few years ago, a lot could be local programmes, but we have only had a few cans out of that declared so far. It would be a lot of restoration on any large amount of programmes, so it would take a few years.

Expect the unexpected, so telling everyone the next reveals will be non-who, could be part of that line

Phil [in a radio interview] has stated that he will now only return complete stories, or episodes that will make complete stories, after the Web3 events, so nobody knows how many or if any are near complete. I hope that any Dr Who returned as rolls of tar, have not been binned, like the M&W was nearly binned. I remember a Pertwee being mentioned as returned in a similar state, but was not missing or needed for chroma dot recovery. Im sure any damaged rolls of missing episodes will be kept after the success of the M&W print. We also dont know what was found by digging up the desert, but stuff was recovered from years in the sand.

Although Jerky i'm sure computers will be able to make the picture more stable, in the future. It seems to have got the roll of tar, back to a badly damaged film print. Nobody expected that 2 years ago.

when you convert 29.97fps to 25fps. the dropped frames show on fast movement but not slow movement, Pal Speedup works on the 23.98fps to 25fps by altering the audio so it does not copy [add] or drop [cut] frames. Some of the damage on this print could be repaired by the damaged bit of the picture replaced from the frame each side. Some software takes frames 1 and 3 and will produce an intermediate between the 2 frames replacing the middle frame, so this would be near to the missing original frame 2. That should cope with faster movement scenes without the jurking. Im sure if the difference between frames 1 and 3 is 0%-2% a copy could be added which would speed up the production of frames.
Many years ago Digipaint on the Amiga computer, had a rub through option, which was very useful, as you could have 2 pictures loaded and rub the damaged bit with the pointer, and the back image would replace the bit on the front image, so you would be able to rub the damage off Erics face in close detail with a small pointer, without touching the other parts of the frame.
If all of the M&W film has been scanned and stored, and put into some order, it could be worked on over future years, and software produced to work on sections, similar to the early chroma dot recovery in the 1990s
