First “shelfie” of the season! Seeing ‘The War Games in Colour’ in the shops is a wonderful feeling! I had to purchase a copy, just for the rush 😅

It’s lovely reading so many positive comments about the commentary and extras ❤️

The extra 6 minutes of The War Games in Colour really helps the project to shine even more. There is much more breathing space and the story doesn’t feel quite so chaotic. Decent set of extras as well.

Here's a wonderful clip from Ep108 where @rtipple.bsky.social explains what motivates him to colourise black and white #DoctorWho stories like The War Games. It's great to remember that Rich and his team are fans, and doing what they do because they love it.

Wow, The War Games in Colour is a beautifully produced, stunning colourisation. It rattled along with pace, tension & verve. And I loved how true the team were to Roger Cheveley's stunning set designs. Huge congrats to all involved!👏👏👏@benjamincook

Cross-posting my Blogtor Who review of Doctor Who - The War Games in Colour just because I can.

Fast, furious and fun, with some genius storytelling choices lending the tale greater focus, while the colourisation itself raises the bar hugely. A triumph by Ben Cool, @rtipple.bsky.social & the team.
