These comparisons are so satisfying, thank you! Your recreation of the opening animation and the fonts for the captions are beautiful. I'm glad to see my scans of the VHS covers (from the TME site) being put to good use!
Very nice! I never before realised that there was a significant change in the hieroglyph displayed at the opening of Escape Switch between the 2 versions
If you mean 4:26, then that's a split-screen image where the left half is from the left half of the VHS and the right half is from the right half of the DVD; it's not two identical halves of each image.
Thank you for the work you put in to these videos, the comparisons are very interesting to see. I did rush to get this VHS, and the Cyberman one, upon original release :)
I must confess that I was A Bad Fan who never bought this on VHS, but it's always nice to appreciate the had work that the Restoration Team have put in. I did laugh rather cynically at the notion of Season 3 on Blu-ray - I know it's coming eventually, but I suspect it'll be one of the the very last in the range.
I got this video in Dec’1992. It was amazing to view any of these recovered episodes. These comparisons are great - very researched. Back then, the only way to see random episodes, outside the bootleg network. (I got into some trade of tapes).
Thank you for putting this together. Although the episodes were later released on the Lost in Time DVD set I like the lunking narration from Peter Davison. Glad I kept my VHS 👍
My understanding is that the turnaround time for restoration work on the Lost in Time set was ~3 weeks or so for all 18 episodes, hence a lot of the credit rolls and more glaring problems being left as-is. It's amazing they were able to fix as much as they did, really. I believe some of them were re-restored for BritBox.
It was great to see those comparisons of Doctor Who, Do you take any requests? If you do, What about The Time Meddler (VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray); BTW, Keep up the great work.
Is it me, or did the molecular dissemination thing look even more freaky in unrestored form? I mean, it's so abrupt. If I had been a child in the 1960s I would have crapped myself. Rather than vomiting as I did in the 1990s.

Love your site! Great time saver :)
What's the TME site?

I’d have loved it if this was the theme tune to ‘Rose’ in 2005! 😂

Sorry linking not lunking 😂
Definitive theme tune, here. 🎵
Awww I had this VHS as a kid 😁

Excellent video Pip!
Any plans for comparing on Doctor Who: The Tom Baker Years VHS and Blu-Ray video?
No, there'd be very little point in it, it was a straight transfer of the video master.

Not sure if it is your forte but are you able to do mock-up covers for The Davison Years and The McCoy Years had they been made as planned?
I'll leave that to others, I'm just focusing on products that exist :)
That disco version of the theme tune was strange!
Shame you cant do more without content Id. Can it be uploaded elsewhere as your videos are pretty much a history lesson in themselves.
