Oh Boy Oh Boy, some of yu don't get out much.......Yes  it is possible to at least minimize Flickering in PAL Hires Interlaced......one of the reasons the screen flickers is because of those one pixel thin black lines around the borders of windows and buttons and gadgets wich contrast greatly against the one pixel thick white lines........ Solution?  get Visual Prefs from Aminet...and MUI....whith visual prefs.....double the thickness of the lines and change any lines that are black on the Title bars, butttons gadgets, window borders... to dark grey and the white lines to a very light grey ( and of course like I said make them double the thickness) and you will be surprised how much less it flickers! totally usable!...now do the same thing to as many Public screens as possible and those will flicker less as well.  
 Now the colors dont have to be Dark grey and Light grey....you can also use....lets say.....dark blue for the shadow and  very light blue for the shine........ trust me my workbench looks nice and flickerless and actually has about as little flicker as a PC connected to a TV with a flickerFixer. Also Ive noticed PAL always flickers much more than NTSC.

oops!  I forgot to mention...on top of Everything I just said.....if you want even less flickering....add a genlock (I guess a PAL one for you) like the SuperGen SX and click the notch filter.....it adds some anti aliasing so it now might look a little blurry....so I definitely recommend using bigger and thicker fonts like FuturaB 12 or Workbench 12...................I use my Amiga on an NTSC S-Video TV  full time! and its excellent!
