But why does BBC HD have a low bitrate/bandwith in the first place, if it means the picture quality suffers?

I remember watching Last of the Summer Wine on BBC HD & it was stunning, then i watched Live at the Apollo on BBC HD & the picture is still good (compared too it being broadcast in SD) but not stunning, it's as if there some fuzzyness/pixelating or something like that, sometimes on BBC HD, it's hard to explain.
