      Liam Esterly yes, but then have you seen John Smith's who lock, by using different clips and piecing it together on top of the original soundtrack and with visual references from the telesnaps. Maybe, possibly, they can be re-imagined, renewed.

    It doesn't matter how many times I see this clip, I feel tears well up. It really is quite touching, it's that wonderful mix that Doctor Who always seems to have had, adventure and excitement but with some underlying human problems and emotions thst draw you in further.
    Have to say the colour change made me feel the same as when I first saw The Wizard of Oz.

    I love that quote. Hartnell had some really good quotes but that one always sticks out. It shows the doctor before he was truly mad (Jodie and Matt Smith). He was just the old time lord who ran out out of fear. Running till days end.

  • @grummkruger1

    This is surely one of the most dramatic scenes in all of Doctor Who history. When I first watched it with the entire episode, I couldn't help my tears. It just makes me want to go back and thank William Hartnell for all he did and gave to Doctor Who that made the show what it is today.

    My favourite bit about this is actually the re-scoring. Would love to see the whole original series rescored with full symphonic orchestra. Not that the original score is bad in any way.

    • @GedUK
      @GedUK 9 лет назад +6

      Oddly enough, I couldn't disagree more. I really thought the scoring was unnecessary and detracted from the visual and the speech. It may just have been mixed too high.

    As a moving image archivist, I have to say that it's not a restoration in any way, it's a colorization. It's an enhancement. It's an artistic interpretation., It isn't restoring it to what it ever was.
    That said. As a fan of Doctor Who and VFX, I have to say that it's impressive.

      Color WAS available. Star Trek Original Series came out 3 years later (1966) and it already had better graphics than that of DW in the late 70's. It's not that the technology was unavailable; financing is what Doctor Who lacked. It was forced to use the old black and white tapes and crummy special effects due to a small and constrained budget. That's why episodes were destroyed in the first place, to save money by reusing old tapes.

    This is incredible. Remember that this scene was shot on standard definition videotape, and the original tapes are long gone, wiped by the BBC decades ago. 1960's Doctor Who episodes exist now only as kinescope/film recordings, which do by no means represent the quality of the original tapes. On top of that, I'm guessing you probably used the official DVD as the source of the footage (I doubt you have access to the BBC's vaults and film prints), and DVD's, a standard definition format, compress the already bad source material even further. So basically what you have done is, you have created an HD version of the DVD of the (bad) film copy of the original standard definition source. That is simply amazing! I always thought we would never see classic Doctor Who in HD. If we had the original studio tapes and location film at our disposal, then perhaps, but with the subpar copies that remain, never. You have completely changed my mind, sir!
