In the new masters of The Murder Market you can see the technicians hands waiting to catch Diana Rigg when she is hanging on half way up the wall in the marriage bureau office during her fight with Suzanne Lloyd.

Here's screen grab of a blooper someone sent to Roobarb's from the new discs. Ignoring the stunning new picture quality for a sec, can you see Diana Rigg's shadow on the backdrop?

It's a goody though - and it's great to have the opportunity of showing an example rather than to just describe it.
Yes but that was probably not visible on original broadcast, due to the overscan area and the shape of TV screens. The new DVDs have a lot of material at the edges which was not meant to be shown, just like film series when seen on the big screen. The idea of overscan isn't given much respect these days. Hance much complaining on forums about boom mikes in shot, edges of sets and tech crew ladders at the edge of shot, etc when they actually aren't when seen on a proper screen shown at the proper zoom amount. You're not watching them how they should be watched, how they were framed by the director for broadcast. He didn't intend every bit of the filmed image to be seen - he shot more of it, to allow for overscan.Dandy Forsdyke wrote:![]()

Sounds like another overscan issue!jaz wrote:In the new masters of The Murder Market you can see the technicians hands waiting to catch Diana Rigg when she is hanging on half way up the wall in the marriage bureau office during her fight with Suzanne Lloyd.
