The Restoration

With the emergence of new technology, FremantleMedia are undertaking a comprehensive restoration project and will launch the series as it's never been seen or heard before.

This painstaking restoration project is the largest of its kind for a television show, using exclusive machines of which there are only 2 in the world - a level of restoration more usually associated with major film studios' classic titles.

Each frame has been restored individually and the audio reconfigured and upgraded - on average each episode has over 140,000 fixes, making more than 3.6 million across the entire series!
