I knew I shouldn't have re-opened this debate... : ) If you go
back and look at the ITC DVD forum where we were discussing this last
year, you'll find some pictures of the labels from the original audio
recordings for a few episodes that clearly show that the camera was
running at 25fps.

I'm not saying this was the case all the time, but it suggests that
at the very least there was some mixed-speed shooting going on...
