I'll go out on a limb here, just to be super clear. Angel - stop digging up threads when you have nothing to actually say, other than to parrot already known information. Asking (or alluding to) pointless speculative questions isn't helpful either.

What's this got to do with Doctor Who? (there's a theme here) Angel thinks it could be Doctor Who because the film can shown has a BBC label on it. I wrote that before it got moved to this sub forum - it was originally in the Doctor Who section. And yeah, I knew that's what he was getting at.

I can go my 1980 VHS recordings for "The Krotons" and see the original wobbly end credits. This isn't as broadcast. The end credits are wobbly due to distortions in the film recording process, and warping of film over time. Look at credits on tape and whilst they're not totally perfect simply due to the analogue nature of the technology, they're nowhere near as wobbly. Surely in some cases some of the picture of the final shot is being removed so new titles can be slapped on? Nope, either an identical shot is taken from a reprise in the following episode, or the frames are carefully edited to paint out the old credits with the new, cleaner computer credits put on top. There are instances where either method had proved unfeasible (perhaps due to a complicated or fast moving shot) and the original credits were maintained, at least in part. Perhaps I'm being somewhat fanatical? Most viewers won't care. Somewhat indeed. I can see every reason why the black and white version of this Doctor Who story might largely disappear in favour of the colour version. Oh boy.

I hardly think snub is an appropriate word. There's no bad blood, just that Disney can offer a much wider audience and investment.

In which case, you have to wonder why theyve bothered going through all the trouble of putting them on BBC i player then if no ones going to watch them...we know they will and do. We've yet to see how colourising The Daleks works yet. Its heavily butchered time wise, and we dont know yet how he may have re edited it or messed with it. Hopefully he has not. It doesn't literally mean absolutely every single member of the viewing audience. It's just that to make something viable on a mainstream platform, modern audiences [generally] don't regard B/W material that palatable. The fact is, those watching B/W TV, let alone archive Doctor Who, are in a minority. That number will get smaller over time as younger, newer, viewers mature - they'll have acclimatised to a very different taste in material to us. The 'archive' as it were is constantly getting bigger, more to choose from, and older B/W material is going to be left behind. It's remaining relevant (overall, not to you or us specifically) to a more mainstream audience, which ultimately, is what will allow budgets to be allocated towards projects. All is good and we don't need to get emotive about it.

It's clearly not him. It doesn't require verification. You like peddling daft rumours on here, and this now extends outside ones about missing episodes. It's getting annoying.

To make it more blunt, What I Think he is saying is maybe they can colorize iotd1 next. Yeah I know. It's still not a hint. Exactly what Richard said.

I despair. That's not a hint. That's a line taken from an article that has nothing to do with British television.

Did this really warrant a new thread? What answers are you hoping for? Do you imagine someone on this forum knows the answers but just forgot to mention it? People make mistakes. Things get filed in the wrong place or mislaid. Films get put in the wrong cans. Sh!t happens. No it didn't. It's just what Angel does. It's like a randomiser of which section of wikipedia or any other site with info on MEs does he next start a thread on. No depth, rhyme, or reason.

Admin - I think it's become sufficiently clear that anyparting's insolence is just trolling at this point.

I feel like we're just re-treading well trodden ground for no reason again. Just because someone doesn't think one particular thing happened (based on lack of evidence) doesn't mean they have a specific alternative in mind. Looking at it rationally, the only reasonable answer with the info we have is: "We don't know". We can offer an idea - PM was good enough to offer his. "We don't know" is more a case of treading old ground. Point is, no one ever has offered a satisfactory alternative explination, which is why, so far, I'm sticking to PM's version. The line about treading old ground was in reference to Angel starting this thread, hence why it was at the top of my reply. However what you say is fine and you're entitled to stick to PM's version, however it does not undo my point. If you don't totally buy into what PM has said, there is absolutely not reason why you should have to have an alternative theory. We're only people looking in using the little info we have - so no, we can't really 'offer an idea'. Information and evidence is thin on the ground, the whole matter is shrouded in secrecy, PM hasn't necessarily been the most reliable communicator. It's fine to say 'we don't know' - because we really objectively don't. Heck, even PM's theory is only a theory.

I feel like we're just re-treading well trodden ground for no reason again. That rather depends on whether a private collector ever took it in the first place. What do you think happened instead of this, Richard? Just because someone doesn't think one particular thing happened (based on lack of evidence) doesn't mean they have a specific alternative in mind. Looking at it rationally, the only reasonable answer with the info we have is: "We don't know".

Paul, have you or Philip Morris have asked the private collectors if they were willing to loan the prints to the BBC so a copy could be made in the archives? That way the collector could have the original print and the BBC can have a D3 copy. Why would the BBC put it on an obsolete format like D3? Angel doesn't actually have any real knowledge of the subject. He's only taking what he's reading on the internet and parrots it about.
