    I've created this colourised trailer to pay tribute to "the original, you might say" in celebration of William Hartnell and the first era of Dr Who.

    Now I really wanna see the entirety of The 1st and 2nd Doctors' runs in color, it would be so jaw dropping to see how this world canonically looked like when it began.

    This is like a trailer for the very beginning of Doctor Who. You made an incredible job I can't even imagine how many hours you've spent on this. Your final work is incredible, the music, the lines, all the scenes, everything excites you to go watch the Hartnell era. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us for free, it means a lot to Doctor Who fans.

      They could have the colour versions and black & white versions together so it's optional. With these blu ray releases they could animate the remaining black and white episodes as well as colour for the first 2 doctors. It wont ever happen as the money to reanimate episodes is already quite a lot but one can dream.

      They should all be in black and white. But, I would mind a color version as an option. As long as both were available on one set.
      Unfortunately it would be way to expensive.

    One mild criticism in an otherwise excellent job...there are some cases where you don't 'hold' the color as it transitions from shot to shot. As it fades, just at the last moment, it shifts to B&W again.

    • @JohnMorris-ge6hq
      @JohnMorris-ge6hq 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      There is No footage from Marco Polo. It is from the Celestial Toymaker. Only colour pictures exist with audio. One scene did look like Marco Polo (guy with the scar) but I doubt it. Not one second of film exists from Marco Polo. Could have been a reconstruction. Check out the live reconstruction of MISSION TO THE UNKNOWN on UTube by University students. If you didn't know the story was missing you would swear you were watching the real deal.
      I hope I am a wrong about Marco Polo. Even if they found one episode - BOY WHAT A TREAT THAT WOULD BE .

When I say 'I'd rather watch this than new Who,' I mean the Whiticker/Chibnal era of the show, not the 2005 reboot leading to Capaldi's portrayal of the character. Eccleston, Tennent, Smith, and Capaldi were great and could all do 'Timelord'. I don't think Jodie can carry the character off at all.

    Actually, the prickling sensation scene from episode 1 of War Machines makes sense if you realise that the events of this story, Faceless Ones and Evil of the Daleks are occurring within the same few days. The Doctor isn't sensing the power of WOTAN but the Daleks lurking at Waterfield's antiques store. The second Doctor and Jamie are somewhere nearby also.
