Dr Who

Got around to watching the colourisation of Patrick Troughton's finale The War Games, and like The Daleks a bit of a mixed bag.

The colourisation team deserve a lot a credit for their work and I'd say it was done better than The Daleks, a bit less garish. The edit got the job done in telling the story but even without watching the orginial some of the editing still looked a bit too jarring and made no sense. The original had padding as it never meant to be 10 episodes but still squeezing in over 200 minutes into 90 minutes this was to be expected. A lot of the character development and interactions, particularly between the Security Chief and War Chief was lost.

The retcon of the War Chief wasn't needed at all but I guess RTD just couldn't resist himself.

The new series starts April 12th
