A restored version of the BBC Pride & Prejudice is coming to blu-ray (sans zombies).
The screencaps on Amazon suggest that a very nice job has been done, not only remastering the print but even better–restoring the aspect ratio to the native film it was shot in, as opposed to the grotesque 4:3 which it was broadcast in. Take a look:
By the by, my local Fox affiliate is now broadcasting Seinfeld re-runs in similarly remastered, gorgeous hi-definition. Before they had simply stretched the old 4:3 versions, making Jerry, Elaine, and the gang look like fun-house versions of themselves.
