Does that apply to 60fps as well? Because the trailer for Captain America: Civil War has been uploaded in 4K running at 60fps.


Unless it's from an official source, don't give any credence to any 60fps trailer. They're all interpolated/motion compensated and don't give a good impression of what a real 60fps film would look like.

It's probably been upscaled from 1080p to 4K as well.

Big Brother didn't move to widescreen until BB7 which was broadcast in 2006.

BB was held back due to the lack of usable widescreen night vision mini cams.

Ironically I think at least one Noel's House Party had been made in HD by then (using the experimental 1250/50 standard - and I think a Top of the Pops was shot that way too).


Will be interesting to see if BBC4's TOTP runs get into the 90s, if they show said episode in HD!

I wonder if that means if Noel was presumably looking straight at the SD camera, on the HD version he's always looking slightly off to the side!

ITV Westcountry News (and maybe other regional news?) is the last programme I can think of that (finally) switched to widescreen - February 2009.

As mentioned on Off The Telly...

...Camberwick Green was filmed in black and white and colour at the same time, so presumably the now-wiped black and white episodes feature everything from a slightly different angle.

Are we sure Noel is the person behind this YouTube channel? You'd think he'd provide better grammar in the descriptions than "This video is about Noel House Part".

That'll be something that's auto generated by whatever software he's using.

If it was shot long lens from a reasonable distance it might be tricky to tell - but yes.

So this would be in the same way that Tom Jones back in the 60's was recording at (what is now BBC Elstree) his ATV series 'This Is Tom Jones', made for the UK and US markets (a standard Lew Grade trick)

UK viewers saw him deliver his links looking just off to the right - where the US viewers saw him looking straight down the camera at them. The reason? The UK PAL camera was to the left of the US NTSC camera, and as that was the colour camera, and the US was the bigger market - that was the camera that Tom had to look down.

I've tried to find a clip on You Tube to show you what I mean, but after 10 mins and clicking on countless renditions of 'The Green Green Grass Of Home' swirling around in my eyes and ears, I've run the white flag up the pole... Confused
