Glad to hear they are playing that over your way, I have yet to see it broadcast here in Canada!
As for condition of the aircraft...well...it's in the condition you would expect an aircraft to be in when it strikes an uphill slope, in cruise, in cloud. Some female Russian Geologist discovered it in the 1960's and access was not allowed until the end of the Cold War. Credit should be given to the POW/MIA organization that headed up the recovery of the remains.
Did anyone happen to notice that they used the Minneapolis based PV-2 for the recreation of the flight?
