[quote author=steve board=general thread=3748 post=35338 time=1212952751 Sometimes the 4.43MHz carried would be stripped out prior to the film recording process, sometimes not. Only recordings where this in intact can be restored in this way. So programmes like you mention may, or may not, be restorable in this manner.[/quote]
Indeed... it was all down to flicking a switch or something and a lot of the time, this didn't happen. In the case of the 1971 Doctor Who adventure "The Mind of Evil" which exists only in black and white it's been discovered that Episode 1 was t/r'd correctly and has no recoverable colour elements whereas the remaining 5 episodes have recoverable info.
So, not EVERY b+w t/r of colour programmes would be recoverable via this technique.

Hopefully eventually we may get a complete colour 'Planet of the Daleks' then?
And what of the 1960 colour pilot test BBC telerecordings?!...

I understand that this process only works with PAL telerecordings - not NTSC kinescopes/telerecordings, so this would rule out early colour broadcasts by the BBC?

Not necessarily, the signal pattern would be different and would need decoding but if its there it’s recoverable, please correct me if I wrong though

looks pretty effective.
this would mean they can colourise most if not all these b/w totp editions

The tests seen on the site are from the 29th January 1970 edition... and even though they may not be perfect, they look wonderful!
