Yep. Both Steve and Peter are correct. I orignally saw this drama when it was re-transmitted in the 1980s as part of the Lime Grove Story TV day on the BBC.
I did video it at the time, but somehow the recording was lost.

I managed to obtain it on a Latin American DVD. So it has been converted from 25FPS to 29.97FPS (it is an NTSC DVD), then converted to on my media server back to 25FPS. It then somes out from HDMI at 30FPS and then is converted back to 25FPS in an HDMI decoder before it then goes into a Hedhog standards converter to turn it back to 405 lines
Actually the change of frame rates is not the main problem (there is not much action). The worst problem is that it is stored on the DVD as a low resolution bonus track; the main feature is actually and American movie version of 1984 from 1956 (also very good).

Hi Hugo,
Well I don't mind as that is part of their charm - if you can call it that. I can't imagine that repairmen of the day liked getting sticky waxy fingers
The larger capacitors have the insides pulled out of them. However this does cause the wax on the outside to move and become matt in appearance, so a quick blast with the hot air gun makes them shiney again.

Cheers
Andy
