@Adamcarter:
Had a quick look at the Return fo Treasure Island file.

For deinterlacing assuming tff and deinterlacing using QTGMC and sRestore look like a good choice:

clip = core.std.AddBorders(clip=clip, left=0, right=2, top=0, bottom=0) # add borders to archive mod 4 (VsQTGMC)
# setting field order to what QTGMC should assume
clip = core.std.SetFrameProp(clip=clip, prop="_FieldBased", intval=2)
# Deinterlacing using QTGMC
clip = havsfunc.QTGMC(Input=clip, Preset="Slower", TFF=True, InputType=0, TR2=1, Sharpness=1.0, SourceMatch=0, Lossless=0, opencl=True) # new fps: 59.94
# make sure content is preceived as frame based
clip = core.std.SetFieldBased(clip, 0)
clip = core.std.CropRel(clip=clip, left=0, right=2, top=0, bottom=0) # removing borders (VsQTGMC)
# adjusting frame count and rate with sRestore
clip = havsfunc.srestore(source=clip, frate=25.000, omode=6, speed=9, thresh=16)

playing around with the denoising options in QTGMC might also be a good idea.

for some of the chroma residuals due to the interlacing handling I would try Vapoursynth->Artifacts->RCR->Vinvers2, something like:

clip = havsfunc.Vinverse2(clp=clip, sstr=5.00)

(also try different settings)

Regarding the chroma merging try: Filtering->Vapoursynth->Artefacts->Fix Chroma Bleeding


Side note: not sure I like or hate the effect of 'Retinex' when used for the coloring; for quite a few scenes it really seems good on others not so much, at east with the default values. But it really helps to see more of the artifacts and problems.
