I love how he ad-libbed to give the impression that the control was stiff just to tie in with the slow camera panning on the museum. People like to criticise or ridicule Hartnell for messing up his lines, but Troughton was just better at thinking on his feet and covering mistakes.
Now that was awesome. Gives an entirely new dimension to the 2nd Doctor. Wouldn't it be a dream come true to recover more missing Troughton episodes and have the ability to colorize them like this.
And Hartnell ones, too! If only they hadn’t wiped the tapes - or if the TV companies who bought them for their own bespoke audience had kept them and sent copies back to the BBC, it would be possible to enhance them and colourise them as well, so they look as if television had always filmed everything in colour, but broadcast them in black and white initially, as transmitters weren’t able to broadcast in colour - and, now, here they are, in all their glory, in full colour, looking fresher and newer than when they were fresh and new!
A shout out to the original set designers and builders, the Tardis's Transparent Acrylic Construction and control panel was years ahead of any other science fiction props of the Mid 1960's. To think it was done on a virtually non existent budget makes it an even more praiseworthy achievement. PS spot the nod to a Crookes radiometer (also known as a light mill) in the 'Black and White' squares. The set designer had some knowledge of Physics.
I always loved how it went from 1 wide shot panning back and forth, and then just pictures of all different objects. What a time to make a Television Program!
I think this is just about the best colourisation of b&w Doctor Who that I have seen... better than the official BBC colourisation of The Daleks that was shown on BBC4 last night.
Colorization sure has come a long way! I would never have guessed that was black and white if I hadn't known! The Second Doctor is one of my favourites. He's so funny!
I agree the colorization have come a long way. I mean, back in the 80's it was consider an abomination no thank to some putz colorizing classic B&W movies that looks like smeared crap.
Absolutely amazing. The colour is so good, deep and natural. Most colourised videos I have seen are not as good and look a bit wishy washy and pale. Fantastic effort
Wow, I had always thought this Dr. Who was filmed in B&W ... and then while I was watching this excerpt I thought I must have been wrong, and it must have actually been filmed in colour. It had me convinced and it was only after watching it that I scrolled down and read that you had added colour. Well, I must say that this is really an awesome colourisation job. Well done!
I grew up watching Dr Who in the 1970s in Australia. I never got to see this or the previous version of the doctor as they always repeated John Pertwees doctor the the ones that followed. Its a nice treat to see an episode I have never seen and to see it in colour.
I love it. As said elsewhere, it looks like it was made in colour. They should get you to do this to all old episodes and have them as optional extras on future releases.
There is a somewhat dismissive reply from people in the Restoration Team (as was) that lone individuals can't deliver the results on time and on budget for these sort of projects. The sentiments were that doing a couple of minutes privately of *whatever* to an episode didn't scale up to doing it for a complete episode. However, it smacked rather more they seemed reluctant to let any part of a project outside of a small circle of their cronies and friends. It sounds to me like they might have had some trouble with the "Mind" 1 colourisation re: time/budget. What somebody needs to do is call their bluff by coming up with a completed colourised story ready to go, at a reasonable cost. No doubt other reasons would then be found, as happened with some of Ian Levine's projects he offered them. The other problem is that things need to start with the best-quality source material - and this isn't stuff ripped from DVDs as that has already been compressed once with MPEG2.
Brilliant work !!! I wish the BBC would consider doing this to an entire Doctor Who story - they would surely make their money out of the effort. Imagine what the original Dalek story would look like...it would give it a new lease of life...bring it on I say!
That's spectacular! If everyone who does these small colourisations would just get together and coordinate, we might just have a full episode at some point.....
That is absolutely FANTASTIC!! I cant wait for all the old Epsiodes to be colourised which surely will be the next way the Beeb gets us to re-buy them, LOL! And I would certainly do so, sometimes I prefer B&W, but for general TV entertainment like the 60’s stories, it would just bring a whole new sense of newness and wholeness to them and make re-watching them feel like a wonderous experience! I say bring on the colourisation ASAP! :-) And your skill here is Jedi-level!!! AMAZING Jedi master Climas! :-)
I came to comment how I had no idea Patrick Troughton was on the show when they added colour but then I saw the description. You got me, this looks legit.
DIRECTOR: Ok...Patrick...you need to act like the TARDIS controls are giving you trouble, you are having issues moving the camera, radar and sensors. PATRICK:...I only got the one knob to turn DIRECTOR: Really work that knob!!! PATRICK: You got it!
Love the seeds of death as the original six parter rather than the edited together vhs version.i found that to be long and tedious but watching it in 6 25 min episodes it's AWESOME
Those early VHS ‘make it into a movie!’ edits were _awful._ I had ‘Day of the Daleks’ and ‘Death to the Daleks’. I hated that they came in lieu of the cliffhangers. Thank God they rectified that mistake toot-sweet. Fortunately in terms of ‘The Seeds of Death’ I was able to record each episode off of the TV weekly in some early ‘90’s Sunday morning reruns, so _that_ became my de facto VHS copy, cliffhangers and titles intact!
I don't normally like colourisation, tend to feel that if something was made to be seen in black and white, then it's probably best to view it in black and white. But I quite like this. It just looks real.
This is one of the best colorization jobs I've ever seen.
I agree
Same, I actually forgot it was a colourisation, it looks so amazing.
Great job!😁
Agreed. This is exceptional.
Another one here who didn't even think about the colour at first because it looks so natural. Brilliant.
I love how he ad-libbed to give the impression that the control was stiff just to tie in with the slow camera panning on the museum. People like to criticise or ridicule Hartnell for messing up his lines, but Troughton was just better at thinking on his feet and covering mistakes.
I love how the companions constantly try to press buttons and he slaps their hand away.
Hahaha yes, there was only room for one person who only had a rough idea what they were doing.🤓
Patrick, Fraster and Wendy were such a team!!!
Now that was awesome. Gives an entirely new dimension to the 2nd Doctor. Wouldn't it be a dream come true to recover more missing Troughton episodes and have the ability to colorize them like this.

The red on Zoe looks gorgeous

Holy Jesus that’s flipping fantastic! It looks like as if it was always in colour
Thanks!
I assumed this was original colour
don't blaspheme
@@colonelbarker I didn’t realize you colored it. I just assumed it was how it was recorded.
I think this is just about the best colourisation of b&w Doctor Who that I have seen... better than the official BBC colourisation of The Daleks that was shown on BBC4 last night.
omg this is the best doctor who colorization ive seen
I'd love to watch the whole serial colourised to this standard!
Oh my god. For a moment I thought this was filmed for the 25th anniversary or something! Amazing work!
Colorization sure has come a long way! I would never have guessed that was black and white if I hadn't known! The Second Doctor is one of my favourites. He's so funny!

I've seen alot of Doctor Who colorizations on youtube since about 2008 and this is by far the best!
Nice color. Wendy Padbury was so cute.
It looks like it was shot using late 1960's color tv camera technology of the time! Amazing recreation...well done!
Yoooo, that looks so natural! Great job!
Absolutely amazing. The colour is so good, deep and natural. Most colourised videos I have seen are not as good and look a bit wishy washy and pale. Fantastic effort

Zoe is gorgeous
Just Zoe?
Jamie for me 🤣
Fabulous work...! Seeds of Death is one of my favourite stories of all time, and you've just made it even better. Brilliant!
Whilst I love the old B&W episodes, I have to admit to loving old scenes in colour too :) This is just wonderful, well done and thank you!
Don't talk yourself down mate this is wonderful!
Wow I thought this was originally in colour. I didn't realise it was colourised! Awesome work!

My giddy Aunt, wow! Just WOW!
'Giddy Aunt' I forgot about that! 😊🏆🇬🇧
I didn't even see a full second of this video before my jaw dropped; the colorization is spot on
Thanks!
Very cool! You gave me a senior moment where I couldn't recall the show being in color at this point...
Brilliant work !!! I wish the BBC would consider doing this to an entire Doctor Who story - they would surely make their money out of the effort. Imagine what the original Dalek story would look like...it would give it a new lease of life...bring it on I say!
WOW. On these TARDIS shots I always notice they never ever dust the top of the time rotor. Always thick with dust! Wonderful job on this
Looks good. If only the 60s episodes were in color but still they are fantastic
Brilliant colourisation, should be option when BBC issue BluRay collection set for 60s Dr Who.
OMG I just saw this one this week! Great work, I'd never have spotted colorizations best I've ever seen!
“Those letters, CCCP, stand for Russia”. Yup, sounds about right.
Союз Советских Социалистических Республик
It's written in the Cyrillic alphabet, not the Latin alphabet that we use.
СССР = ( U )SSSR
@@iangreen4572 But Latin doesn’t have Z and a few other letters in it.
@@kylethedalek They mean the Latinate alphabet rather than the Greco-Slavonic Cyrillic alphabet.
Excellent! If only all 1960s who could receive this treatment.
This is awesome!
Seems like pat was playing along with the delay of the screen what a legend
These 3 will always be my favourite team
Traughton, was my favourite, doctor. Eccentric, off-beat. Terrific!!
That's spectacular!
If everyone who does these small colourisations would just get together and coordinate, we might just have a full episode at some point.....
That looks superb. I love The Seeds Of Death. It's the best Ice Warriors story imho.
So well done ... now finish the story !! 😁👍
If someone were to pay me to do it, I certainly would!
this colourisation is seamless. Well done.
Really impressive colourisation job!
Brilliant, i absolutely love this!!!
You've done well. It looks splendid.
Fabulous colouring it would be awesome if all episodes in this story were coloured so brilliantly 👏
Absolutely unbelievable. Thank you.
Amazing work!
This looks amazing
Superb work. What a treat.
Wonderful work!

This looks so good
Very nicely done!
Fantastic, absolutely brilliant.
Fantastic job!
gawd that's stunning that's the future after blu ray re release classics to colour lol
That is really good color.
Stunning colourisation.
This is all just very adorable
Unbelievable. Amazing. Fantastic.
It's so weird to watch this in color, but looks pretty good.
Colourisation is improving all the time. Well Done!
That looks unbelievable.
Just stunning! Well done mate! 😍😍🤩💖
One thing we don't get with New Who is a lot of TARDIS time between the Doctor and the companions.
Bruh this is awesome!
Wow that is pretty amazing.
Seeing it in color, you would never know that episode is decades old!
WOW that looks great
Awesome! I never thought of Zoe wearing Tmobile Pink though
More, dammit!!! This pleases me.
Looks great
Excellent
great work mate
Very good, Aaron.
omg looks amazing
Great work indeed! :)
I came to comment how I had no idea Patrick Troughton was on the show when they added colour but then I saw the description. You got me, this looks legit.
Top notch stuff.
looks fab
Awesome job! Hey, can you colorize THAT shot of Zoe in the TARDIS?? ...*You know* the one I'm talking about!
Flipping heck! This is good.
Thanks!
Brilliant.
That's very cool. The 2nd Doctor is my favourite, also the Doctor with the most lost footage, this is a great story BTW.
DIRECTOR: Ok...Patrick...you need to act like the TARDIS controls are giving you trouble, you are having issues moving the camera, radar and sensors.
PATRICK:...I only got the one knob to turn
DIRECTOR: Really work that knob!!!
PATRICK: You got it!
That looks so good! Thankyou so much! Now I want all of it in colour.
That was amazing 👏
Well done mate
You can see that the console room set has been reduced to two walls, an increasingly knackered looking console, and not much else!
really good

oh wow I'd watch the whole 6 episodes like this!
