Children's shows in 50fps that shouldn't be

user-1346

There's definitely something wrong. Lots of children's shows that simply AREN'T available in 50fps are coming up as only available in 50fps.

"Lots" is of no use whatsoever. Give me an example so I can see what is going on.

EDIT: And how can programmes that aren't available in 50fps be available only in 50fps? That doesn't scan.

Apologies.

'Alphablocks' and 'Octonauts' are just two of them.

As far as I now, never available in 50fps, yet downloading in 50fps using hvfhd - because hlshd is not available - on two episodes of each. Other episodes are unaffected.

The relevant episodes affected, so far, are...

b01nhsyn - Alphablocks Series 3 - 13. Thing
b01py6g1 - Alphablocks Series 3 - 18. Book

b00vjgxc - Octonauts Series 1 - 14. The Albino Humpback Whale
b00vn2k0 - Octonauts Series 1 - 19. The Snapping Shrimp

Although I just checked and the latest aired episodes of Octonauts have gone the same way.
b00vn2k8 - Octonauts Series 1 - 20. The Snot Sea Cucumber
b00vt5ww - Octonauts Series 1 - 21. The Giant Whirlpool
These all date back to 2010 and surely shouldn't be available in 50fps.

If you want to tell the BBC what they should and shouldn't do, be my guest. Just don't do it here. There is nothing wrong with any of those programmes. If you don't want 50fps, don't download 50fps.
