- The very first time the doctor ever faced the Daleks in the episode titled The Daleks! Originally in Black & White this episode has now been cutdown & presented in new glorious colour for the very first time. Here's what I thought of this new edition.

I found the second half of the colourised The Daleks just accelerated into an incomprehesible trailer of jump cuts I couldn't follow. It was really weird - hard to follow and rushed. And the shocking pink in the Dalek city was ridiculous and on Barbara's top was insulting - she'd never have worn that! It was still a mammoth task, done really well and under very difficult circumstances I'm sure - but... ooff :/
I haven't seen it, so I'll take your word on it.
as for colorized versions of classic who, I'd probably want "The War Machines" and "The Dominators". not sure how well the story could be squished like "The Daleks" were, but it'd be cool to see none-the-less.
I love the war machines. They would probably remove most of the story though. I'd be fine with The dominators to be cut down. You could really make it look like an alien world to with the colourisation.
Not sure what they are trying to do with this, a colour version of this story has already been done.
I can't think of anything I'd want to see less than classic who cut down to give nuWho vibes.
It was an odd choice. There was a colour 90 minute version already. Dr Who & The Daleks (1965) anyone?
Classic purists when background music is changed to not sound really dated and awkward and the pacing doesn’t take 4 hours to get to the main monster: 😭😭😭😭
Justice for the Magnadon!
60s Doctor Who is lowkey underrated
Great vid
Was great apart from the fact they made the original fans and anyone over the age of 17 look like idiots who couldn’t take the whole thing on board. Too much was chopped out and the music when Ian is in the dalek 🙄 what person thought that worked?
Yeah the whole edit cut down is very obscure that scene especially with Ian as a Dalek I hated they way that was cut together in a wired montage.
@@thewhoview trying to make it a fast paced moment when it never was 😂 it’s a shame that they felt like they needed to this for new viewers as it really could of been amazing if scored and chopped less the colour was wonderful and it felt like it wasn’t 60 years old
@@Budbrothers420 agree
Too much colourisation, especially primary colours. Very little black or white. The editing was too severe, it needed that extra 15 minutes. Sound was good at the beginning, especially when Barbara gets caught. The over the top music at the end did ruin the enjoyment for me. It takes away all the danger and threat. Good try but it failed. I had this Preordered but cancelled my order after it aired on BBC2. Huge disappointment!
Hopefully they take notes from how people responded to this colourisation & not repeat the same things for the next release.
Colour looks something more akin to a Willy Wonka chocolate factory film than a Doctor Who episode. Think I will pass.
LIKED AND SUBBED TY1
It feels like it was designed for the new generation of ADHD-obsessed viewers who brag about their short attention spans because they can't take anything out of long-term substance. They got the themes of this story so wrong.
I'll stick with the 7 episodes in glorious B/W, at 25 minutes an episode it's perfectly palatable. Trying to reinvent it with 'pacier' editing and bombastic cacophony is pretty offensive. RTD should steer clear of episodes he has no ownership of.
Slight correction: “artistic license” rather than “artistic merit” is the term you want.
My mistake 😄
I enjoyed it but it takes away from the original
A garish nightmare ...were the Daleks all on ecstacy when they decorated their city? Ridiculous.
🤣🤣
I didn’t enjoy it at all. I’m not against the idea of colourising it in principle, as long as the B&W is always readily available. But I do feel that it’s a waste when the money could be better spent doing animations for missing episodes.
The editing was awful. Very chopping done.
The lurid colours seemed to take their cue from the Peter Cushing movie. I’m ok with that to a point, but it was a wasted opportunity do do something new. And whilst the addition of the Dalek ray was a welcome addition, it would have been nice if it was blue like later episodes and not that shade of aquamarine.
Due to the editing they had to re-record some of the Daleks lines. Naturally they used Nicholas Briggs because the BBC seem to spent the last 19 years thinking he’s the only person qualified for the job. (Personally I’m getting a bit tired of his Dalek voices now). But getting David Graham out of retirement to re-do his original lines which was a nice touch. I’m glad he was involved.
The soundtrack was the biggest problem for me. Made all the more disappointing because Mark Ayers is usually such a safe pair of hands. But they ditched a lot of the really atmospheric music from the original in favour of high-paced music where high-paced music wasn’t always warranted. I assume it was to make the story seem packer than it really was for a modern audience not used to the slow-burning style of storytelling of yore. But it turned slow, thoughtful scenes into urgent, rushed scenes and it wasn’t good. And then they threw in some 60s-style pop which just didn’t suit the spirit of the program.
For me it was an interesting enough novelty, and I’m glad I watched it. But it’s not something I’d ever want to watch again.
Although I’m invested to know how they justified 2 discs for this.
The BBC attitude towards IP is bizarre sorry it's denied you some of its treasures. Sad that it took Disney to make Dr who more widely available
Im personally not a fan of it i prefer the original version it should had been left alone.
The colour version was pointless. It cut an entire hour out of it. It just didnt make any sense. The editing is dreadful and the incidental music doesnt work in a lot of scenes. If you cant do it right just dont bother guys. Sorry but i wont be buying it on blu ray.
Fair assessment.
I like The Daleks in Colour
That's great. For me the editing just didn't really work for me.
@matthewbolitho-jones May I asked what you liked about it? All I saw is vandalism.
Unpopular opinion (potentially); I actually like how lurid it all looks. It seems to befit its ‘60’s ‘technicolour’-obsessed era very well.
so glad you mentioned the flasbacks. it's the main reason i dislike this video
1 or 2 flashbacks I could be forgiving, but there's so many & a lot of them are completely unnecessary. We don't need a flashback of something that happened 3 minutes ago.
