Yes, but also he made the things to be compatible to that loss of quality. It is an old question of where the art begins and the medium ends as creating art also means using the properties of the medium. Not everything which did disappear was supposed to be seen in the first place. Of course it also was never meant to be watched in HD, so either way it would have been a compromise and I am glad they took the more complicated option.

@@cactusjackNV One puts more work into the parts seen than in parts one would wish people could see but most likely won't. For example Gilliam avoided fine patterns. Had he wanted to make things work on film in complete ignorance of the technical limits of video, we would have seen moire effects. We did not. So what is more likely - that this is pure coincidence because he dislikes regular patterns or that he simply knew they would not work when transferred to video and simply avoided them? Every artist works with the material. That is part of the job. The material was video. That should not take anything away from the improvements he had limited control over and could not calculate with in the first place, like colour changes and all kinds of random production artifacts. So there is no reason why he would not be happy about those.

My lifelong obsession with Python has literally saved me. I never ignore spots and I have lived through 70 bouts with cancer, Thank you, BBC.

It's amazing what 50 years of advancement in telecine technology can do (with continuous feed transfers, 4k sensor and programs like Digital ICE). Plus the fact that for the videotape we are going back to the original transmission copy and can now adjust for what was not set up quite right in the studio. Also for those of us in the states, we don't need to see those horrible 1970's PAL to NTSC conversions anymore.

Thank you for that awesome remaster. Even on KZread the color grading and level of photographic fine detail look fantastic. I can imagine how much work and passion flew into that project. My boxset arrives tomorrow and I hope that the transfers where done using high bitrates and no digital sharpness filters were used so we can see all the original glory of 16mm material and natural looking film grain. I am excited like a little child. Christmas is a bit earlier this year. We live in great times these days. First the incredibly amazing new transfer of Jabberwocky by Criterion and now that... I only wish there will be a new transfer from the original negative material for The Meaning Of Life. Universal botched the bluray completely. Absolutely unwatchable. Edge enhancement of terror and digital look overall. Couldn't believe what I saw and couldn't go on watching the movie. Criterion...please please please :)

That cleaned up scene of the technicians lined up outside was amazing. If the rest of the shows, as well as the animation, looks as beautiful as that, I look forward to owning this new set.

FWIW, the BBC did *not* wipe the tapes. That's a myth that's grown out of a misunderstanding of what actually happened. The Pythons suspected the tapes would be recycled, which was standard practice at the time, so Terry Jones arranged for low-band Philips N1500 dubs to be made. However, the series was sold to PBS in the States and they wanted VT copies, not film recordings, so the master tapes were saved from being recycled.

In the States, the line was "Three weeks later he died of gangrene" with "gangrene" an obvious replacement for what was there originally. In my youthful innocence, I thought the different tone of the disease name was for humorous effect, not due to panting censors who found the word "cancer" unacceptable.

Yeah okay it looks digitally better, but what has been lost? The changes in exposure, the rough and ready aspects of how it was originally made, the limitations of the technology then - all these elements also tell a story. They tell us about the time constraints, the use of telecine and even censorship... The word "cancer" was omitted originally by the BBC and the word "gangrene" inserted in its place. It sounded funny to suddenly have a male voice step in so matter-of-factly and use this word, but it also tells us about the fears and censorship back then. In this new version, the word "gangrene" has been removed and the point of its insertion has been lost. That tiny piece of British thinking back then, that little tid-bit of historical value is gone. The show in its original presentation tells us what making TV shows back in the late 60's/ early 70's in Britain was actually like. In some strange way the rough-edges of British TV production from that era are just as important historically as the writing and the performances.

4K TVs are reasonably common, but UHD Blu-ray players are much less so. Indeed, many people with 4K TVs don't have a 4K-capable disc player and get their 4K content via streaming or satellite/cable. And as said, Python is a mix of 625-line video and 16mm film. There is nothing at all to be gained by taking that to 4K - it would be a completely unnecessary expense. If it had been entirely shot on 35mm film, that would obviously be a justification for 4K.
