Other programmes aren't so impressive in HD - the Doctors soap for example. It seems to vary a lot from programme to programme. Whether this is down to the TV or the BBC's HD output, I'm not sure.

On the other hand, I've just got a Blu-ray player and the images from that look stunning on the TV, and are a big improvement over DVD. Blade Runner has never looked better
Blu-ray & 'full' HD (1080p) are currently not significant while discussing HD television, which is only available in 720p or 1080i
