Who knows what res they scanned them in the first place & if they're showing them directly from tape they'd easily upscale it to HD, but either way they would benefit from being shown in HD. The 'old PAL videotape' still captured faaaaaaaaar more detail than lousy 1080 res we are being treated to at the mo

I've seen a few of the old Sean Connery Bond movies in HD on my telebox and they are clearly much better than in SD
