OVERALL: Blu-ray ALL
The only version we're currently aware of.
WARNING:
This was made by the BBC in the usual way for the time; PAL broadcast quality videotape for studio scenes and 16mm (sometimes 35mm) for all credits and location shoots.
The Day of the Triffids has an approximate mix of 90 minutes of filmed material and 69 minutes of videotaped scenes.
Unfortunately, the BBC have taken the strange decision to filmise the 69 minutes of taped material to try and equalise the visual experience. This has removed the fluid 40 fields per second video look inherent in the taped scenes that were always part of the look of the production.
The BBC Doctor Who Blu-ray releases (classic 1963-89 series) retain the correct look and as a result are faithful to how the programmes were made and are an example of how programmes of this vintage and production format should be handled.
That said, reports indicate that the image quality is still a major step up on the DVD masters. -
