Either update the entire story with colorization, new effects and unedited, like they did wonderfully with Star Trek TOS re-masters. Or don't bother and just leave it alone. It's that Simple.
Leaving aside the "isms" of the day, and particularly for what we too often forget was a light entertainment show, the black and white era stories were designed, blocked, shot and acted quite specifically to suit that visual medium with the camera technology of the day. It's all integral. The translation isn't necessarily a good thing and often leads to a jarring sensation. They'll do what they'll do of course and spaff modern era aesthetics and ideas onto the past stuff. I still have the originals. I'm not keen on the animations for the inevitable "Scoobydooing" effect so I'll be more interested when AI is good enough for them to correlate everything they've got and produce missing stories "in the style of". It'll probably still seem odd of course. incidentally, all but the very late Troughtons were black and white for me anyway back in the day because I first got them from the Target books... literally black and white.
I don't see why they couldn't just colorize 4 part stories and call it a day, it would basically be the same runtime, when I heard they were colorizing the Daleks for the first time I just assumed it would be the same episode but in color, I do get why they would want to cut if down but the music choices are just awful and can't wrap my head around it.

Personally if the pasing works its good for ones like the games that are so long the story is over 5 hours long
@teamsonicchannel4400 I would argue that the pacing doesn't work for this War Games colourisation though myself
