I tried to find the answer to this myself, but have been unsuccessful. I'm hoping a forum member can help me in answering this.
I know that all 24fps film based material is transferred to 25fps PAL format for broadcast on UK television. My QUESTION concerns British made-for-television FILM BASED product. I'm referring specifically to 16mm (?) productions such as the Joan Hickson MISS MARPLE series and television movies such as MOTHER LOVE or IN THIS HOUSE OF BREDE, as well as filmed inserts in otherwise videotaped series like MONTY PYTHON. And while I'm thinking about it, what about 35mm shows like THE AVENGERS, THE PRISONER, or THE SAINT?
These were all produced with the PAL format in mind, correct? Were they shot at 24fps and sped-up for original broadcast? Were they shot at 25fps using a different format? I know this sounds like a silly question, but it came to me yesterday and I cannot find the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated by my obsessive Gemini mind.
Thanks in advance,
Will
