The colourisation was amazing, especially later on. But I hated the last 5 minutes where the messed about with the regeneration scenes adding loads of CGI. I would have bought just a pure colourised version but without the weird regeneration.
@@DrWhoFanJ you're right, it's always been heavily implied, particularly given the Fugitive Doctor was introduced as a part of the Timeless Child arc. In merchandising the Fugitive Doctor has also been placed before the Hartnell Doctor in books. However, the police box TARDIS has always confused me a little, though perhaps Hartnell inadvertently stole his old TARDIS which took on that shape to try and reawaken his lost memories?
The original has enough gravitas. Why show the future incarnations..? That seems to be interfering with his own fate too much. Losing jennifers farewell and much of the middle was unavoidable but clearly a problem, unless they gave themselves more like 2 hours or just shy of that
what i'm confused about is the promotion for this said it would include newly recovered footage not seen since the broadcast and i keep trying to find at what part is this footage in there and if there really is new footage will it be integrated into the original 10 episodes when the colour version (plus original 10) is released on dvd and blu-ray (because that would make me interested in buying it), but seriously was there actually new footage because i wasn't aware any was missing?
@@bakura23 good question! The opening scenes shot on location have always existed as a lower quality copy in the archives. Earlier this year however the original higher quality film segments for these particular scenes were found and so have been presented here in a higher quality than even the original broadcast edit.
@@bakura23 in terms of when it will be available in black and white, I'd imagine the recovered material will be reintegrated in full into episode 1 for the eventual Season 6 Collection boxset.
@@whoniversityoflore so it's not about missing scenes or content but about the quality of that scene. In other words no shots or scenes were missing from the original dvd release?
Why do a bulk of the modern audience think this nonsense is now canon? Surely they can't seriously think so, considering its cut down from 10 episodes down to a mere 90 minutes with idiotic retcon changes shoehorned in under from the perspective of one person? Sorry its just has to viewed to be a bit of fluff. It was rushed and nonsensical, cutting out a lot of the plot, character development, overlapping scenes and dialogue, with a bunch of retconned stuff thrown in - the second half was a mess. Plus why would you show pictures of the faces of future incarnations and why is it all Nu-Who Doctors, especially as when one of the sketches in the original version looks very much like the 5th doctor, it's just nonsense. People didn't take the truncated Daleks in Colour as canon, so why should they take this canon, especially with the War Chief, just because he was a Timelord with a beard and he was doing bad stuff, why does that automacally makes him the Master, just nonsense. This is just a truncated version of a much better story for the ADHD generation, nothing more. The colourisation was impressive though.

the bbc did nothing with regards to the regeneration, that was from a youtube fan made regeneration over a year ago.
9:20 The Fugitive Doctor has always been explicitly pre-Hartnell.

So why is he still referenced as the first Doctor?!
@@Paul_1971 Because he is still the First Doctor.
@@DrWhoFanJ And there's nothing before him...the original article, right?
@ Wrong. There have explicitly been incarnations before him since 24/1/1976.

I thought it worked. I really enjoyed it.

@bakura23 that's correct, the higher quality footage is newly recovered but it already existed in a lower resolution.
