For a show shot on standard definition one-inch video tape and originally broadcast from 1988 to 1999, the HD transfer is pretty decent, providing a noticeable if not massively improved image compared to the DVDs. It’s just a pity the old master tapes were lost. Edge enhancement is used carefully and effectively, aliasing is greatly reduced, in some cases eliminated, and the new colour grade boosts image quality even further, particularly on series VI. The picture aspect ratio of 4:3 is maintained, which many fans (including myself) prefer to the zoomed-in remastered episodes that lost picture top and bottom. Some episodes get slightly more picture than the DVD versions, some slightly less, but without a direct comparison you’d be hard-pressed to notice.
The Xtended series VII episodes are intact, as are the remastered versions of Tikka To Ride (all four versions are here), and the feature length version of Back In The Red is also included. It’s a very comprehensive package, more so if you don’t already have the multiple disc DVD sets.
On the downside, the bonus discs are exactly the same as those included in the old 2- and 3-disc DVD sets, probably so each series can potentially be sold individually down the line, but with the same new generic artwork splashed across every disc. There are some odd typos in the booklet, and the new HD disc menus are a touch lazy, but access to each episode is quick and easy.
While the Bodysnatcher disc has been put in a cardboard sleeve, making its inclusion feel somewhat an afterthought, it’s at least been upgraded to a Blu-ray disc, and (contrary to some comments online) as a result, includes every extra from the old 4-disc DVD set, meaning only the remastered episodes are missing (even the select episode commentaries are here, oddly enough, along with all the Easter Eggs).
Regarding deinterlacing issues on the series III and V discs, the BBC is now distributing corrected discs. These will eventually be in all the new sets, but if you get an affected set, email DVDSupport@bbc.com and they will help you out.
