New BBC UK releases are 1080p and 24fps?

This seems concerning to me.

First we had the duplicate American versions of the first four series of the new Doctor Who, then I noticed that Series 9, Part 1 was also listed as "1080p" for the UK release. Now I am also seeing the new Sherlock special is indicated as "1080p" (and will likely be locked Region B, too):

Meanwhile. the UK-only releases, like Peter Kay's Car Share (which is also Region B as indicated), The Hunt nature documentary, and the upcoming Series 4 of Luther (which is still going DVD-only in the US) are all listed as "1080i", and in the case of the former two, they are indeed 50Hz, as broadcast in the UK.

Does anyone know what is going on? Have the BBC started to produce some "big" shows at 24 fps, meaning they broadcast them incorrectly in the UK, or are they just cutting corners on BD, using one master for releases that come out in the US and UK?

If we are getting sped-down releases of Doctor Who and Sherlock from now on, I would be very ticked off with that...
