The thing about is that it says that the image captured derives from something that is a BBC copyright. As demonstrated above, the BBC don't own copyright to it in the traditional manner. Therefore can't be applied, and we have no license that could really handle the highly unusual copyright situation of DIT.

Additionally, the images must derive from someone's off-air, 20-year-old recording of the event. This quality is inevitably too low under T:GTI to allow.

Anything you see of DIT on YouTube or wherever is definitionally a bootleg because there is not now, nor will there ever be, a legal re-release of the story.

High quality snapshots aren't possible, because all snapshots would be limited by the VHS recording technology of 1993, plus the effects of time on the physical tape itself.

But, as I said, the insurmountable issue is really that we could not, in good conscience, hose images of the productions when we know that the actors specifically withheld their permission from the BBC to use the material ever again.
