I believe the flashbacks were to make it easier for them to cut between different scenes with it not looking to janky.
Daleks didn’t have anything blasting from their gun at all until the Tom Baker era (aside from one Pertwee story where they used bullets), up to then they just cut to a negative shot of whichever actor was being exterminated. The gas/smoke effect was only used in the 2 films.
Didn’t the have flamethrowers in one of the later Hartnell stories?
@@SciFiBrony Not their guns, they were adapted sucker arms for burning down jungle.
Im glad its out and that there are options to watch the original. Theres bugger all to grab on Who now for us who own all the boxsets so this is a pleasant surprise. The 75 minute colourisation is awesome, seeing it was an emotional experience as its a childhood favourite. Those who are dead against colourising are missing the point, as its nice to have an alternative way to watch classics.
I should say, I'm not dead against colourising at all. I think they did a fantastic job of the colour here. I just wish a little lighter hand had been used in other areas.
My exact sentiments! A wonderfully articulated argument and review of an interesting release.
Thank you ever so much, I'm glad you liked the video.
I finally saw it on bluray tonight.... absolutely loved it!!!!!
I'm glad you liked it. I'm glad it has an audience :)
I really liked it. I hope to see more stories in colour.
Really glad you liked it. I think we will be getting more in colour.
Overall, I really enjoyed this release, although like many, I have a few niggles. I did, however, buy the Steelbook simply because I want to support and encourage further colourisations. I can't wait for the next one, whatever it may be! 🎉
I think people will have their own reasons for buying it and I do hope it goes well enough that more of these can be made. I would like them to do more for the release, however. Right now, it’s too much like I’ve re-bought the same stuff again.
Great review , glad this popped up on my feed
Thank you 🙏 I’m ever so glad you like it :)
For me, The set should have included the original serial in HD. Adding the 2nd disc as a reprinting of the original DVD disc feels lazy. Also the Stef Coburn situation makes me a little worried about the possibility of a Season 1 release in the Bluray Collection.
I totally agree about the music, they obviously were trying to drive the pace through it in the second half. I appreciate they didn't have a lot of options with cut-aways because of period limitations in live editing, so the flashbacks are an interesting workaround.
The second disc just being the original DVD is a big disappointment. I agree RE: Season 1 as well. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with that.
Whats the Stef Coburn situation?
@@literacylabyrinth4018 Stef Coburn is the son of Anthony Coburn, writer on the first Doctor Who serial. He wants to withhold rights to the BBC over some grievance, which is why an Unearthly Child is missing from the iPlayer right now.
I liked the colours, and some of the music. I wasn't someone who enjoyed the original story being 7 parts long, but even then, it should've been slower paced. Add another half an hour maybe to this edit maybe.
Having recently revisited the Cushing films, the pacing on those was so much more natural. I get they could probably only colourise a certain amount of footage due to cost, but I do feel that was at the expense of the pacing.
It looks good but the music gets intrusive in many spots
A lot of people have said the same.
Great review
Thanks ever so much :)
I like The Daleks in Colour
It was a good achievement for what it was, but still has some teething troubles I hope they will consider in any future releases.
Very informative, thanks.
You're welcome!
It might be interesting if fan editors were to blend the colourised tv show with the Cushing movie.
Yes, that would be interesting
That new soundtrack was too much in the new edit. I was hopeful they might have adjusted the volume of it for the physical media release.
Infinitely had the steel book on preorder but cancelled it after seeing it broadcast on BBC 4.
I don’t think you’re the only one who did that. It was far too much, wasn’t it?
I hope you at least ordered the blu-ray or DVD in support of the media release. If it doesn't sell well, it could be interpreted that Who in Colour is a failure, which would be a shame.
I thought the colour was great too much added ambient music totally ruined immresion needed an extra twenty minutes to let the story breath.
I would love to see Tomb of The Cybermen next maybe trim out some of the poorly aged lines to toberman and leave most of the length as is.
I would like to see Tomb as well. I get the argument against (that a lot of it would be shades of grey anyway) but it is one of my favourite serials. I was thinking that it might be fun to see The Mind Robber done like this as well.
@@BeyondTheSofa yes I thought of The Mind Robber as I typed this it's another great story worth making a colour version.
Try to watch It. But You can tell, I didn't like it. Fell asleep
It's not going to be for everyone. I'm glad they tried it, even though I think it was, ultimately, flawed.
Dear God man please don’t tell me they are going to bastardize more of these! Sacrilege! RTD has literally destroyed New Who and Classic Who with his political revisionism. 🤬🤬🤬 #RIPDoctorWho
I don't see any political revisionism in the colourisation. I mean, it has its failings but it's not unique in that.
@@BeyondTheSofa that’s not at all what I meant
Then you should be clearer since this video is talking about the colourisation and nothing else.
