Alternate take: You expect 80 year olds to know how the scene groups work? You expect them to actually be able to digitize 60 year old film reels, (with film equipment that probably hasn’t been built since the 80’s,) anonymously get into contact with a scene releaser, and get the (notoriously distrustful) release group to work with them? If I were part of a scene group and someone came to me with that story, I’d be seeing red flags all over the place. I’d be suspecting that it’s a BBC employee trying to plant a mole, to catch us for piracy.

Protip you don’t need to be a scene group to upload a torrent to the internet.
But you do need to have an understanding of how torrenting works, at least on a basic level, to host your own torrent effectively.
