The idea of taking a
vintage monochrome programme, colourising it and editing it down to less than
half its original length is unusual. How many other series has this been done to?
As someone who has really enjoyed the additional effects on some of the
Seventies stories I’m glad that it is being done. Those who complain about it
can be assured that the original versions are still there and still the
official ones. This is a more fun way of watching old Doctor Who that
may also help its appeal to younger audiences. It is art in a contemporary way,
no less so than sampling or cover versions. So you can either enjoy them or ignore
them.
