Hi, Paul,

While I am sure that this suggestion applies to the UK and the BBC, 
but here in North America the major broadcast networks and the local 
stations -- including, for the most part the Public Broadcasting 
Service. Instead, both in the U.S. and Canada, small post production 
houses that specialize in various formats are the best professional choice.

There are also some consumer-oriented facilities such as 
www.homemoviedepot.com and www.digitalimprovements.com who do very 
good work for prices substantially under those of the professional 
post-production houses.

I attempt to keep a list of North American resources for this and 
pointers to other lists here:
