I was somewhat alarmed by the overall picture quality of last Sunday's [ 14 SEP 08 ] episode of Poirot, what were they exactly trying to achieve with all that soft focus, or maybe they are trying to cover something up? The extended pale halos hugging any character that dared to step into direct light was something akin to a Ready Brek commercial from the 1970's, at least they had an excuse. If HD is too harsh a medium for premium television drama then go back to sourcing on film, yes it's expensive but at least you will have an original that is infinitely transportable and not locked down by the limitations of the technology of the day.
