I really like the color grading they've shown on the stills. It looks like 60's British film.

Interesting.
I think the pacing was a bit off - it mostly felt rushed. Could have done with being an extra 15-30 minutes, really.
Not sure about The War Chief
Most of the effects were good. The colour did highlight just how cheap some of the sets were, such as the childrenās magnets used as ācontrol circuitsā for the SIDRATs š¤£
I liked both the War Lord and the Doctorās trials. I actually liked the regeneration sequence, although the second bit with Pertwee before he falls out of the TARDIS unconscious seemed unnecessary and a bit uncanny valley, even if the 1970/1980 gag was pretty good.
Overall, yes, Iād call that a success.

It's more than just colourisation, they recovered 16mm footage from location shoots, which gives us some of those crisp shots they've used for promo pictures.
It's pretty exciting, almost enough to ease my worries how they're going to edit a >4hrs serial down to a 90 minutes special...
And they're also making a regeneration scene based on a fan creation that actually shows the regeneration iirc. But rip 6B.
Oh man, is it confirmed that it's a Second to Third Doctor regeneration? š
I were holding out hopes that they'd snuck in a cheeky Jo Martin cameo!
