In a recent mailing ihuxo!dpa asked about color enhancing some of the
Pertwee episodes that are no longer available in color (they were all
filmed in color but, in some cases, only B&W copies survived after the
master copeis were destroyed).
Some time ago Dr Who Monthly carried an article about the process of
computer color enhancing and said that a Canadian company was using the
process to color an old Dr Who story - The Tenth Planet (DD).
This is of course the first cyberman story and the first regeneration, when
Hartnell's Doctor becomes Troughton's Doctor. I remember thinking this was
quite scary when I saw it, so I am looking forward to its eventual release.

It is 01:04/84, or "1 April 84". This was mentioned at Panopticon West '84; the staff at Doctor Who Monthly like to pull an April Fools' joke every year. In '83, it was "The Phoenix Rises", where out-takes from Hartnell stories were to be mixed in with a Davison story (someone else may elaborate more, if there is a demand). Wonder what their joke will be this year..... I hope it's something good, like a scene from "Revelation of the Daleks", where our favourite BBC-1 controller gets what he deserves.....*grin* -- "Now we're gonna see what you know in the way of languages and packages. How good are you at SPSS? Are you proficient in C? How's your FORTRAN? Have you worked with IMSL? Do you know Kimball?"
