DOCTOR WHO ‘The Daleks’ In Colour | DID IT WORK? | My Doctor Who Night On BBC4 | NCUTI GATWA CAMEO! 

I saw it over six weeks when I was eight . The colour and definition was incredible . The quality of the acting helped it and I thought the editing was pretty good . There were a few omissions , didn't mind the music and the original was written to cover the time slots so there was a fair bit you didn't need .

More fallout (pun intended) from RTD's Buffy complex.

Thought it was a wonderful idea to colourise and make it 'feature length', but while I loved the colour I found the cuts more than a little extreme (no denying a new pace though) and the new music didn't work for me at all. Watching again I realised the music wasn't large enough in terms of vision. I tried The Daleks in colour with the Who-inspired 'soundtrack' Bibliotapes album The Edge of Destruction and it changed what I was watching completely and for the better. Things began to look weirder and more magical at a stroke.

The creative choice to, basically, throw out the actual on-set colour photographs we have of the serial, actual photo reference, and instead paint it with a variety of colours that are perhaps "in-universe" aesthetically pleasing but don't reflect accurately how the sets were actually painted, is maybe this efforts big fault for me. I'm not wholly against colourising black and white Who to offer audiences an alternative version, but whereever possible they should follow the reference materials to provide a natural colour pallette. After all, when Doctor Who eventually started shooting in colour, they were working with the colours on the set, not tweaking them afterwards to represent something different.

They did a good job considering the limitations of video technology back then . ( ie 640 (horizontal pixels) by 480 (lines)

The flashbacks really killed it for me - not everyone has TikTok Brain and need reminding of incidents which happened less than 10 mins ago.

The replacement music was shockingly bad!

My issue with the colourised story was the music. At times, it is too fast for the pace. They got back the original actor David Graham to do the voices along with Nicholis Briggs . As for the ending of AAIT&S perfect.

I'd give it 9/10. The model shots were absolutely amazing, the jungle set completely came to life and I loved the new music. Did feel slightly rushed but it doesn't really affect the story too much.

I'd love to take a look a look at it myself to form an opinion of my own, may I ask where you were able to watch this? :) I heard it was on certain streaming platforms but couldn't find any solid confirmation 🤷‍♂️

I enjoyed it👍. This is the way to introduce the young 'uns to b&w Classic Who. As a gen x'er with a lenghty attention span I prefer the original version. The colour trailers looked good. Would love to see The Aztecs in colour . Thought David Bradley was great in the edited An Adventure in Space and Time. Nice cameo by Ncuti at the end👍. Looking forward to Saturday and the Star Beast.

Dalek Invasion of Earth next! That would be amazing :)

It was nice to see as a curio but the music and editing became a bit jarring.The colourisation was amazing though.

The soundtrack ruined it for me. As someone who has never seen the original Daleks ( I would have done but I decided to wait for the colourisation ) I now so not know what the original soundtrack was. But I do know what the new soundtrack is, and it definently is repetitive, all parts sound the same, and it doesn't fit with the audio of the actors.

Goodbye Doctor, Australia will miss you :(

I wasn't really that taken with it. As much as anything, I prefer the black and white to the colour. I'm used to it. I also prefer not to have it chopped up to make 7 episodes the length of 3.

Hi don’t agree with change to adventure in space and time

The problem with the war games its 10 episodes long

The colourisation great. Did notice more. I did notice that Barbara got caught in a lift.and the thals were shirtless under the blue thing. The edit - dreadful. Too rushed, too much cut. Music - Horrendous New scenes - Awful Flashbacks - no get rid Cloyster bell - Ood The transition - Im fine with that but shouldnt be done outside a special feature and the transition looks odd. The B&W part looks dire in comparison to original episode. They should finish the rest of the 25 minute episode version before attempting another. Or start smaller like smugglers clips and orpganed episodes that have or likely to get their missing episodes animated anyway. The tardis on skaro - honestlt looked more like an animation. The death ray should have syayed the same. Fits people surviving better imo. Parts 3 onwards felts rushed as hell.

pretty good but i would use this new colourisation technique to clean up jon pertwees

Tristram Cary's original electronic score was deemed too sophisticated for today's children/non-binary/LGBTQ audience. Nice subtle tinkering with the original theme too. I like the clever use of "flash backs" for the intellectually challenged. I just wish they could have inserted a cameo of Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa winking at us before the closing credits. I guess I'm just a glass half empty kind of guy. (sigh)

The music was far too loud, couldn't hear a word of the dialogue, very disappointing. The picture restoration was excellent.

It was brilliant 👏 end of!.....

I don't mind colourisation of old stories as it can add new life to them. I was thinking they were doing it by episodes not an edited down version which is irritating.

I didn't like the way it dipped in and out of colour at the start and the music was too overpowering at times, other than that I liked it.

I found it pretty decent, wasn’t a fan of the music, some of the music was fine but a lot of the time it was overdone. I feel like some important bits was left out, which is a shame.

For everyone who mentioned the soundtrack, you didn’t have your TV sound configured correctly. It was fine. One thing I’d forgotten was how devious Doctor one was, I was too young to realise that first time round.

need extra 15 minutes fit right

Over saturated, it looks better if you turn the colour down 90%

Seriously over-cooked colour and some very unpleasant colour choices, odd flashbacks, a very truncated narrative, some truly dreadful new music, some utterly pointless redubbing... I was looking forward to it but came away seriously disappointed. It looked amateurish at best. File under ‘pointless’.

No

no it was crap

Sorry, but I find your videos a difficult watch. Your constant self amusement puts me in mind of the Toymaker’s nefarious plans in this week’s episode ‘The Giggle’! Aagh! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
