Inspired by 2023s "The Daleks in Colour" and anticipating the upcoming release of "The War Games in Colour", I began to wonder if the approach taken to editing existing footage as well as repurposing it to improve pace could be applied to a partially missing story, presenting it in a completely live action format for the first time since broadcast. The Daleks’ Master Plan seemed the best story ...

Review & Unboxing: Seventh Doctor The Last Day
This Dalek serial really would have been best served, in its original intended 6 parts not stupidly lengthened to 12 parts.
@@Eltonlaleham it almost feels like three different stories, between the Kembel plot, the Monk in Ancient Egypt and invisible enemies on Mira!
How did you get the protector for season 20? I have one for the others?
@@robtheoldmongoose7546 Steelbook Central
@ does it fit in the season 2 case? Looking on the website I can’t find a specific one for season 20
@@robtheoldmongoose7546 that is correct, I bought the season 2 one for it.
Hope more episodes are returned!!!
@@digipeeper fingers crossed!
Why do a bulk of the modern audience think this nonsense is now canon? Surely they can't seriously think so, considering its cut down from 10 episodes down to a mere 90 minutes with idiotic retcon changes shoehorned in under from the perspective of one person? Sorry its just has to viewed to be a bit of fluff. It was rushed and nonsensical, cutting out a lot of the plot, character development, overlapping scenes and dialogue, with a bunch of retconned stuff thrown in - the second half was a mess. Plus why would you show pictures of the faces of future incarnations and why is it all Nu-Who Doctors, especially as when one of the sketches in the original version looks very much like the 5th doctor, it's just nonsense. People didn't take the truncated Daleks in Colour as canon, so why should they take this canon, especially with the War Chief, just because he was a Timelord with a beard and he was doing bad stuff, why does that automacally makes him the Master, just nonsense. This is just a truncated version of a much better story for the ADHD generation, nothing more. The colourisation was impressive though.
what i'm confused about is the promotion for this said it would include newly recovered footage not seen since the broadcast and i keep trying to find at what part is this footage in there and if there really is new footage will it be integrated into the original 10 episodes when the colour version (plus original 10) is released on dvd and blu-ray (because that would make me interested in buying it), but seriously was there actually new footage because i wasn't aware any was missing?
@@bakura23 good question! The opening scenes shot on location have always existed as a lower quality copy in the archives. Earlier this year however the original higher quality film segments for these particular scenes were found and so have been presented here in a higher quality than even the original broadcast edit.
@@bakura23 in terms of when it will be available in black and white, I'd imagine the recovered material will be reintegrated in full into episode 1 for the eventual Season 6 Collection boxset.
@@whoniversityoflore so it's not about missing scenes or content but about the quality of that scene. In other words no shots or scenes were missing from the original dvd release?
@bakura23 that's correct, the higher quality footage is newly recovered but it already existed in a lower resolution.
Is that a young brig.
@@mikescrazycomedy7362 well spotted! Same actor, different character. He played this part first.
@whoniversityoflore thanks
The colourisation was amazing, especially later on. But I hated the last 5 minutes where the messed about with the regeneration scenes adding loads of CGI. I would have bought just a pure colourised version but without the weird regeneration.
the bbc did nothing with regards to the regeneration, that was from a youtube fan made regeneration over a year ago.
I love this!
@NotAgnor so glad you enjoyed it!
The original has enough gravitas. Why show the future incarnations..? That seems to be interfering with his own fate too much. Losing jennifers farewell and much of the middle was unavoidable but clearly a problem, unless they gave themselves more like 2 hours or just shy of that
I thought it worked. I really enjoyed it.
9:20 The Fugitive Doctor has always been explicitly pre-Hartnell.
@@DrWhoFanJ you're right, it's always been heavily implied, particularly given the Fugitive Doctor was introduced as a part of the Timeless Child arc. In merchandising the Fugitive Doctor has also been placed before the Hartnell Doctor in books. However, the police box TARDIS has always confused me a little, though perhaps Hartnell inadvertently stole his old TARDIS which took on that shape to try and reawaken his lost memories?
So why is he still referenced as the first Doctor?!
@@Paul_1971 Because he is still the First Doctor.
@@DrWhoFanJ And there's nothing before him...the original article, right?
@ Wrong. There have explicitly been incarnations before him since 24/1/1976.
Only just seen your channel now. Hope this channel becomes successful. I will share the video.
Nice review, just seen it all the edit is much better. I didn’t see where it made clear who the Doctor was playing chess against though ?
@@geraintwilliams531 glad you enjoyed it! Sorry, I should have been clearer, meant to say it becomes clear the following season.
The info text features are especially useful for those of us who can’t do commentaries (two sound sources going simultaneously & no commentary subtitles) and don’t watch the documentaries (though that’s slightly recursive [pun intended] as I skip those because they’re mainly discussing the same things I can read elsewhere and I’m a much faster reader than most people are speakers). I usually watch the episodes with 5.1 mixes, original effects and info text by default, though I do usually do the new effects on the first watch of a BD release just so I can see what got changed.
@@DrWhoFanJ it's great that there's so much choice so we can all experience these stories with the visual and audio choices that suit us! Halfway through Remembrance now with new effects and 5.1 sound and really enjoying it as always!
@@whoniversityoflore My S25 set hasn’t arrived yet, but that’s certainly one of the very first things on the list (after transferring the episodes, galleries and files into my computer & RotD BtS, which I always watch before the story in question).
@@DrWhoFanJ hope you enjoy it when it arrives!
What sort or size is it on the shelf? It is the size of season 24? looking too get a protector for it when mine arrives
@@robtheoldmongoose7546 funnily enough I'm doing exactly the same! I've tried it in the Season 24 protector from Steelbook Central and it fit perfectly
Thank you so much 🎉
If I understand the continuity properly, this Peri is a different one than the Peri from The Widows Assassin. If true, I'd like to see the continued adventures of this Peri, Mel and Six, since I think digging into that more outside the very busy context of an anniversary story could have some excellent storytelling potential.
@@rngwrldngnr I agree. I think this may be the sixth post-Trial version of Peri we've had on audio and TV so far?
I'm glad about the next box set continuing on from this one, because I feel like there's a lot of material they could work through.
really interested in this set after listening to dark Gallifrey, but I haven't listened to any of the other war doctor sets, does this require listening to any of the previous sets to understand?
@@duracell9575 it's a completely standalone adventure, no other War Doctor sets necessary!
"The Last Days of Freme" is really spectacular. While I like Romana in the Gallifrey series, I think the combination of a scientifically competent and politically powerful character tends to overshadow Leela in the previous stories. Here she has no real friends or equals but is running circles around everyone. It's magnificent.
@@rngwrldngnr The series really does put Leela front and centre doesn't it!
Could you possibly do spoiler recaps of each trilogy after each trilogy’s conclusion since the series is 24-parts?
@@chazhardee7615 more than happy to! Keep an eye out in October
Is this like a brand new story someone has written or is it a modern day audio reconstruction of an actual episode of DW first broadcast in the 70s or 80s? I don't know much about DW as you can probably tell from my question!
@@elizabethknightsbridge thanks for the question! So basically there's a company called Big Finish who take the original actors who played characters from throughout the shows history to play their parts again in brand new episodes written especially for the audio format. The episodes are often set during their existing eras and expand on the characters. Hope that explains it?
@@whoniversityoflore Got it! So it's a brand new story, written by someone who possibly wasn't even around in the 70s and 80s. Thanks for explaining.
@@elizabethknightsbridge that's correct! Many of the writers are writing for the characters they watched on TV as children!
I love they finally made young War Doctor in a photo style, rather than the painting one (though it’s gorgeous in its own right)-it looks amazing, I love it. I am also fond of the story and the way they wrapped it up was, surprisingly, satisfying. I loved that they tied the Time War into the resolution, that conflict is a great excuse for all the weird timey-wimey shenanigans, but it’s quite fantastic. Big Finish is giving live to my, probably, favourite era of the show, which is the Time War, and the Eighth and the War Doctors. On the one hand, I wish we had more of that in the TV format, but on the other hand, the Time War seems better in imagination and audio drama format really is being utilised to its strengths in these ranges.
@@War_Wanderer completely agree. The Time War is such a rich era and wonderfully realised on audio where your imagination provides an unlimited budget for visuals. The Big Finish output also provides a massive canvas for the writers to paint on. I also agree about the photographic cover, it's been wonderful to see a real life young War Doctor again.
@@whoniversityoflore The writers really do use this canvas to its strengths; I think my favourite boxset is ‘Battlegrounds‘ where those strengths shine. The stories ‘Keeper of Light‘ and ‘Rewind’ in particular-the former is truly great for its mystery and intrigue throughout the whole thing and the latter with its ending is… quite brave, but I feel like that ending elevated the whole (already decent) story to another level. I am curious what they are up to in the War Doctor Rises, as I didn’t get around to that yet.
@@War_Wanderer Battlegrounds is definitely an underrated boxset, really enjoyed it.
@@whoniversityoflore Oh, it’s underrated? Didn’t even know (though the War Doctor reviews are tough to come by, that’s how I found your channel). Why would that be?
@@War_Wanderer more of a personal feeling, it's not often talked about. Overlooked would probably be a better word!
I have that for switch but I’m to scared to play it
The only classic Blu Ray release with no reversible sleeve and no information leaflet. Mistakes on the artwork with missing dalek plungers, so much not animated. It feels like a rushed and unfinished release. This kind of shoddy package has happened a couple of times before, with an improved release following a few years later.
Omg I don't cry a lot, but jesus
Just got my copy today and I’m thoroughly enjoying the excellent story.
@@lukan1u5 glad to hear it! I remember when it was missing I never found it that engaging with just the reconstruction. But once it was found it's become a real favourite of the era!
@@whoniversityoflore Would be great if they colourised this story, would make it even more cinematic!
@@lukan1u5 fingers crossed!
I like the look of the lab sets too
Great cliff-hangers... Lousy cliff-hanger resolutions.
Didn’t know that this exist😅
Agreed . A good episode!
Can we see your whole collection please?
I'll add it to my "to record" list!
@@whoniversityoflore Thanks
UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING!!!!
It is awesome on CD
As always a pleasure to see one of your videos come up on my recommendations
So intensely gratifying to hear a fan as expert as yourself approving of the work. There are only two reasons I do this: 1. The pleasure I get from it. 2. The pleasure other fans hopefully get from it. 1 is obviously very much dependent on 2. And 2 seems to be improving with each release. Seeing such a comprehensive, detailed and insightful review from an erudite listener like yourself is a firm vindication of this. Very best wishes, Stephen 😁
Hi Stephen, so touched to have the Doctor himself comment on my channel! It really was a stellar release, contributed to by so many wonderful people. As I said in my review, as something of a self proclaimed Hartnell connoisseur I am continually impressed with how every subtle detail of your performance hits the mark and I look forward to hearing what you have in store for us next!
Would be great to see what you consider the rest of the phrases to be, especially with all the newer releases that have come out recently
Yes, I definitely need to get round to recording the next video!
<3
I am so touched that you've commented on this review. The production really was the highlight of the anniversary week for me and I look forward to more soon (fingers crossed!) in the future. Thanks for all of your hard work!
I found it messy, too heavily edited. Also the music was overpowering. Perhaps a longer 2 hour cut might have worked better. The colourisation itself was quite good. I'm not a Doctor Who purist even though I have been a fan for over 50 years, so I am ok for it to be changed for modern audiences. But I did find that this particular attempt was too messy. It was ok as a novelty item, but I would not recommend it as an introduction to other people. I have a friend at work, who's 10-year-old daughter is liking the modern stuff and maybe a little interested in the older stuff. I would maybe point him towards this for her because it is more of a modern take, so perhaps that is the purpose of the program.
Should made it at Least 2hrs plus long colour version
If added all 7 episodes together to colour would be over 3hrs long I felt the way they edited Down to 1hr 15 mins was not long enough colour version
They shouldn't have removed the part where the Doctor breaks the Dalek's listening device in their cell - this is an important plot element.
Great to see you liked it . I was eight when I watched this over six weeks on our tiny by today's standards b/w tv with a 405 line picture . I've seen a few bits over the years but the colour and definition really brought it to life . Glad you picked up the actors performances , there were a few omissions such as the camera on the prison but I thought they did a good overall job with the editing . It was easily as good as the film version I thought and a great watch on the anniversary .
Have no idea what you were watching but I thought it was awful and disrespected the original source material and production! For starters, it was always going to be difficult cramming 7x 25 minute episodes into 75 minutes. It should have at least been 90 minutes! But the editing for this was just all over the place. The flashbacks were irritating when constantly flitting between scenes to hurry the story along. Key moments were cut out - for example, Ian's argument with the Doctor about the Thals dying for the fluid link (which I think was really important for character development) was completely removed. The colour palette is garish and over the top. And the music - as soon as the disco soundtrack came on for the escape scenes it lost me as an audience. It didn't help either that those scenes themselves were cut to bits and felt very rushed as a result. The edits and the LOUD soundtrack I might add, ruined this modern version. Overall, I appreciate the idea behind the new colourization and edits. But if this is the result then the BBC shouldn't bother with the rest in future.
The flashbacks were so irritating just shows how you have to destroy something just for the brain dead TikTok Generation who cannot retain information. awful. When I was a youngster I could easily watch a full 6 part episode on VHS with no issue and never found it boring. This is no doubt RTD NuWhoing the classic series and a way of editing out everything which he finds "Problematic" with the classic series to pasify the modern audience and NuWho fans.
I swear my retina hurt by the end. Still it was a fun romp
So many things wrong with it (new music at times too intrusive and editing a bit choppy here & there) but thoroughly enjoyable and exciting. Much better than the Peter Cushing movie. The Daleks and William Hartnell on top form. Definitely buying the dvd in Feb. Iconic.
The music score they added in was pretty good
It was shredded to bits - I had to explain a lot to people that had never watched it originally or watched the film. terrible hack sorry. The colours were good though
Speak for yourself, this new edit improved the story, definitely enjoyed this version more. The pacing is better, the editing is better, the music made it far more enjoyable and can be considered the definitive version of the story.
@Futural2500 Totally agree. The editing was awful. A number of scenes were edited out making the story difficult to understand. Also, the jaunty music ruined the atmosphere. It was a case of a classic ruined.
@@Trev359if full would been over 3 and half hrs long
