There are 13 Pertwee episodes that currently only exist in black and white. On an earlier thread it was stated that Mind of Evil has chroma dots on Parts 2 to 5. Has it been stated which of the other episodes have chroma dots and what the prospects for restoration are?

Far as I know, Mind of Evil 1 is the only one without the Chroma dots. Might have been some episodes of Silurians or Daemons that didn't have them either, but fortunately Tom Lundy and his 70's Who recordings solved that problem.
I do know from reading elsewhere that Invasion (of the Dinosaurs) 1 and Planet of the Daleks 3 do have these chroma dots. And I am fairly sure all of Ambassadors of Death has it too.

That's good news:-) Jon Pertwee was the first Dr I watched regularly - I have no memories of Patrick Troughton:-( - and we got a colour TV in 1973 or 1974. It'd be good to see him back as the producers intended:-)
I suppose the supplementary is how good are the chroma dots on the b/w episodes? I was at MBW and James Insell said that the quality could be variable.
Do we know if Auntie is prioritising any of these episodes?

What ever the out come I am sure most people will be glad to simple reduce the number of episodes only held in Black & White that once existed and were shown in colour!

I totally agree:-) I remember being at MBW when Ralph Montagu explained how they'd put back the colour into Silurians, etc and I was there when James Insell outlined how the colour could be recovered from b/w telerecordings:-) What's really amazing is how lucky we, in the realms of the great unwashed, are to have people in the "business" who are prepared to put their own time/effort into this sort of thing. Only in Britain methinks:-) Makes you proud to wear Union Jack underpants ! |
