What kind of format are they in that can't be shown on television? Are
they holographic or something?  So far as I know, if it's on film, it
can be shown on television.  I can't see frame rate as being a problem
since I've seen 24 fps and 18 fps films on American TV which is 30
fps.  If you can manage that conversion, you can manage any other!  If
the episodes are on a strange video format, even THAT should be
convertable to NTSC TV.  I've seen different video formats from all
over the world converted to NTSC.  Some don't look too great, but they
WERE converted.  The upshot of all this is: British video can be
converted to American video.  We know this because we have seen too
many videotaped Dr. Who episodes to deny it.  Dr. Who is a British TV
show.  Ergo, It must have been shown on British TV.  Ergo, it can be
converted to American TV.
