I'm dissapointed that the extras for "Terror" make no mention of its archive status. Does anyone read Roobarbs or wherever the RT post now? Do we know what methods they've used to restore the colour? Have they performed chroma dot recovery?
I've a feeling that the silence around the restoration of this story is a suggestion that they're trying to quietly avoid the fact that they've had to do a lesser restoration on this than on Planet: 3 due to financial constraints. That said, I'll be happy if they've combined the 1990's off-air copies with new chroma-dot recovery.
Less happy if for some reason they haven't used CDR due to a fall-out with James Russell and this is a simple combination of the off-airs with the film prints, as per the video release.

I've asked over at Roobarbs and will report back if anyone replies.

I'm not neccessarily after a feature, but sometimes in the extras they include things like "Restored prints using blah blah technology" but this time there's no word. I just want to know what they've done and what kind of improvement we can expect. It's one of only about five Doctor Who stories where colour film prints don't exist, so it's odd it isn't mentioned somewhere. It would be a selling point to me, and I suspect others, if something new had been tried on the story this time.

If they let us know how much work went into Terror of the Autons it might make people a bit less peeved at having to buy Spearhead again just to get it.
Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

Well it was always the best of the early recolourised stories (and I saw it on a big screen at the NFT at the end of 1992 and it looked rather good then) so hopefully there will be good results. The Silurians was done by this method and it looked rather good didn't it?

"No need" to use an additional colour source?

The Chroma Dots process is time consuming and produces variable results, so maybe this was the best way? The Terror tapes didn't suffer from the strobing problems that Ambassdors has after all, and is fairly stable.
There's also rumours that they've found a better video tape of the story to use as the colour basis for the recolouristation too, so maybe, just maybe it'll be good Si.

Come on! Give them a chance! It might be good, it just might be... We should get down on our knees and pray, because there's a slim sliver of hope here!

You didn't. I was just suggesting that maybe the results will be good anyway, without the chromadots being involved.

I think I heard some years ago that Part 2 of the Unit Family documentary (Part 1 being on the Inferno DVD) would be on the Terror of the Autons release. Has the idea been dropped or was it on a different story release?

Having never got round to buying Spearhead on DVD, and having not watched either story in... well, in ages, I'm really looking forward to this set. Having rewatched Inferno recently I can feel a bit of a Pertwee session coming on...

Whatever they've done, it's got to be better than the blurry murk of the original video release, so I'm sure it'll be great!

Do you think they'd actually ever release it on Blu-Ray?
