Morse was made for the BBC, No?

Morse was the first use of "Elaines" in the UK.

The BBC, itself, was still favoring combination TV (interior) and  
film (exterior) origination, or all TV origination for its own  
teleproductions, when Morse was filming its 32+ episodes.

Subsequent British producers also went with S16, but using equipment  
from Arri, as one might expect.

It was careless of me to lump BBC-owned productions with producers  
making their product for BBC exhibition.

Your examples of Boeing and Airbus are totally irrelevant to a  
discussion of cinema equipment.

British TV producers do not resort to bribery and international  
corruption when selecting their production equipment, but British and  
other "national air carriers" do when selecting their commercial air  
transport equipment.
