This is a question Screwed over by The Man

We once made a flash animation for a record company. They told us it was brilliant and 30 staff gave us a round of applause. They asked us to stick it out without their name on it. Then their legal department sent us a cease and desist for infringing their copyright. How have you been screwed over?

The change to Blu-ray is primarily driven by high definition video and audio, something old episodes of Doctor Who won't benefit from. I think your DVD collection will be definitive for a while yet, at least until the disc rot sets in and you have to buy new copies.

My mate is most insistent that films from the 70s and 80s which have now been released on BluRay contain incredible levels of detail most of which couldn't possibly have been present on the original film.
I think that either a) he's admitting just how crap and blurry his old TV was or b) he's frantically trying to justify to himself and everyone else spending a small fortune on equipment and buying every film yet again, having only just finished replacing all his VHS with DVD.

If a film was shot in 70mm then Blu Ray would be more accurate to the original
If it was standard 35mm film then yes, DVD is as good as it would get without adding extra sharpening effects.

American shows were shot on film
However cost cutting meant that most British shows (Doctor Who included) were shot on video tape, so I doubt they would benefit from a blu ray transfer.
