Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on BBC HD

Does anyone know if the BBC have plans to broadcast Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom on BBC HD? I know they've shown the trilogy over 3 consecutive Sunday's on BBC 1 (the last one being broadcast this forthcoming Sunday) and both Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Last Crusade have/will be simulcast on BBC HD but due to the broadcast of the Big Weekend last Sunday the Temple of Doom wasn't. Could someone please tell me if/when the BBC plan to air this in HD? Thanks.

It's extremely unlikely. It's not scheduled any time in the next two weeks and the BBC HD schedules are about to be swamped with summer events (Glastonbury, Wimbledon, The Open, etc)

Judging from the terrible picture quality during Sunday's broadcast of Temple of Doom I'm wondering if they even have an HD master of it to show? Would they use the same copy of the film to broadcast for SD and HD if it was an HD version?
