The earlier A&E DVD release of Space 1999 was NOT sourced from 16mm prints. This rumour is false and (like so many) springs from fans of the show who have never even touched a roll of film stock and try to double guess why things like sharpness or colour are not as they expect them to be, or have misunderstood information given them by the facility house, in this case Carlton International. The original releases used existing telecine transfers onto digital tape from 35mm interpositives held in the United States and it is the soundtracks that were 16mm sep-mags (separate magnetic tape dubs). The new versions that Network have released are taken from freshly created 35mm interpositives transferred onto HD and using the original 35mm sep-mags and triple-track music recordings to create the new 5.1 sound mix.
OK, so no jump from 16 to 35mm, just much better grading on the new transfers and mastered in high definition.
