Yeah, I know it's black and white but some younger folks seem to way overestimate the quality of older television. This looks like it may have actually been HD, or at least higher SD.

Anything old enough to have been filmed in black and white was shot on film, which can be scanned in HD just fine so long as you have access to the actual film. The remaster of the original Star Trek is a great example.

The show is in color, this comes from an episode with a bit in black and white.

Yes I've seen some of The Nanny, I assume it was a flashback or something similar.
