As far as I know the Beeb are already filing some stuff in HD, I think Walking with Dinosours, or Blue Planet or one of these was - so they're already starting to build a library of content.
Those sorts of programmes are shot on film rather than video, AFAIK, so the Master version of the programme will lend itself nicely to a repeat in HD, when the time (eventually) comes.
