You hope. Obviously that would be the nice way to do it - basically
running the PAL master at 24fps, interpolating the lines down from
625 to 525 and adding the 3:2 pulldown to get the required 30 frame
per second video... but of course, they might just decide to do a
video standards conversion, giving a US master that still runs 4%
fast and won't look as nice!

Will A&E go for the expensive, quality option or the cheaper version.
We'll see!
