I’d be happy with a better version of IotD1 plus, perhaps, some of AoD.

They couldnt afford to colourise everything, this is another of RTDs wind ups, which are now becoming rather tiresome.

RTD says a modern audience are simply not interested b&w episodes... Best news I've heard all day.

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.

Looks like it’s shorter than the movie version. |

I guess they need to test the water before embarking on a big programme of colourisation.

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. |

Maybe for future Blu-Ray releases, they can give the fans an option to watch 60s Doctor Who in either Black and White or to view it in a colorized format. We do have the behind the scene photographs of many episodes both missing and existing, so it can be colorized accurate to the photographs.
If they want to see it in color, it's up to them. If they want to see it in black and white as intended, it's up to them.

At least, it depends very much on their age now or their generation. Under 10 seems not to be terribly bothered but my own peer group can barely watch B&W; even "I Claudius" is too different for them! |

I suspect we're just using different definitions of young people - I assumed RTD meant children. |

I’ve previously reminisced about how multicamera drama was, effectively, a child of the theatre. It doesn’t really worry me though, many four part DWs from TOS were pretty good. |

If they want to see it in black and white as intended, it's up to them. Whenever they have released a story with significantly different visuals (ie replaced SFX), the standard version has always been there, usually as the default. For the forthcoming release of The Daleks In Colour, the standard black and white version will still be there. There's no reason to think that won't continue to be the case. |
