I wonder if it was produced on film. This would allow a remastering, similar to Seinfeld [0].

In that era typically only things recorded in studios would be video, the rest would be film. So Connections could certainly he remastered, and I hope the BBC does so. Some of their older documentaries, like Ascent of Man, already got that treatment.

I think it was on film because it was released only a year later in the US. That was very difficult for shows on tape because of the 50Hz-vs-60Hz difference in video formats.

I fear that another BBC favorite of mine, How Buildings Learn [0], is too modern (90ies) to have been produced on film...

Don't forget The Day the Universe Changed!

I strongly agree.
