Just because many TG4 viewers can now see the restored 3rd Doctor reruns on BBC 2 doesn't mean that these broadcasts should be ignored. For instance, this story works in either colour or the Black & White prints that this station is using, but the look is very different. And since the BBC does not plan to air The Ambassadors of Death or The Mind of Evil in its current run of stories due to the lack of colour prints to use, this station is Ireland's only hope to see those stories on TV anytime soon, so the ratings need to stay high enough to keep the show on the air.
