Your colourised clips of The Celestial Toymaker, as featured in The Giggle and The Daleks in Colour, were magnificently produced. Thank you for sharing them here in full.
Awesome to see the full clips for the toymaker without the glitches from the programme. Congrats to you & Richard, nice surprise having the clips from the the 60th trailer! Nice to read in the description the behind the scenes process!
Well, reusing clips is cheaper, and since the series has time travel, it adds to that feeling of time passing since then. It’s at least not dissonant like if an animated series clearly changed artstyles and flashes back with classic clips or something like that.
Having only been a Doctor Who fan for about a decade now, it was the other way around for me. I listened to the audio performances of The Celestial Toymaker, and was like "THAT'S ALFRED!" lol
Looks brilliant, Kieran! You've certainly come a long way since the original Hartnell years trailer you did. Any advice on how to do realistic skin tones? I'm getting back into doing manual colorization, and would appreciate hearing some insight on how to get it right
I think practice makes perfect and you eventually get an intuition on how much saturation is required for how much light or shadow is on the face. Just always keep in mind: the colour reflection of what’s around the face (particularly the clothing under the chin), the light coming through the thin skin of the ears, five o’clock shadow where applicable, make sure the transition from skin to hair isn’t too harsh, and that the highlights always move toward pure white (unless you’ve got some groovy gel lights going on, as I often do) 🖌

Cheers mate 🧡
Wish this was on the latest Blu-ray release. Hoping to see more in the future. Keep up the great work. Your work is amazing.
Brilliant work here. Leaves me wishing you did full-colour for the entire episode for 'The Celestial Toymaker' blu-ray release. ❤
I too would love a full colourised version, this looks fantastic!
You've done a phenominal job with this! love the way this looks
I love the usage of Classic Who in Nu since it doesn’t try to dress it up as something modern.

Stunning work Well done 👏
Genuinely astonishing and gorgeous! ❤
damn it looks so good
It's only now when it is in colour that it looks like the Toymaker is wearing trainers rather than smart shoes.
I only recently found out that the Toymaker actor later played Alfred in the 90s Batman movies.

Very cool! Didn't know you and Richard worked on the colorization. BTW, how much will you accept for recolorizing the entire 1st episode of IOTD1?

Ya done good here.
How much of your original colourization of The Celestial Toymaker has changed since doing The Giggle and The Daleks in Colour?
I'd start the whole thing from scratch at this point, and work from the HD restoration of the episode done for the animation release
Perfect work, please colourise as much of greyscale doctor who as you can and work with the BBC to release it x
