    Regarding the restoration sources for this Season and Season 23;

    Is there any particular reason why Colin Baker’s Opening and Closing titles look like they’re from SD tapes (like Sylvester McCoy’s) rather than being near crystal clear like the film trim version used for Peter Davison’s and Tom Baker’s starfield intros?

    As far as I know, the BBC had a third party company make the McCoy cgi intro, hence there is only one SD resolution source for it – but for Colin Baker’s intro, surely if it was made in the same circumstances as the other early 80’s intros, then it must exist on film somewhere? Or is that being kept back for Season 21?

    I also notice that Season 2’s boxset also uses what I guess are the original transmission intros (instead of the original film trim as presented as an extra on The Power of the Daleks Blu Ray) however that said, Season 2’s broadcast intros are still as good as crystal clear looking to me.

    If anyone has an answer I’d be absolutely fascinated to know, I love reading up on these restoration processes when I can.

      The Colin Baker titles were never properly archived, so they used a clean SD tape transfer found on the surviving Revelation studio footage tape. A copy of part of the opening (basically the middle) was later found in a private collection, and transferred and dropped in. Most of this is covered in the Colin Baker DVD articles on the old Restoration Team website, and as the full film has never turned up it still applies.

      I’ve not looked at all of Season 2, but from what I’ve seen I thought they were using the new film transfer – just blasted with OTT noise reduction to make a smeary, posterised disappointment.

    The only thing with Amazon Pre-Orders is that lately they have not been arriving on day of release, which I have experienced I pre-ordered Season 15 Limited Edition months before the due date it came out on Monday it’s not arriving until Saturday. It happened just recently with The Daleks In Colour again not arrived on the day of release.

      Heard about someone complaining to amazon about the continued delayed delivery’s of doctor who items they got a refund and credit olusbthe order arriving. Its a shame home media has gone online only to preorder/purchase.
      Only hmv left on thr high street. Remember the days of when there were loads of stores ypu could walk in and buy or place a preorder. It all went down hill when Woolworths went as they owned the main supplier of home media.

      From memory: Revelation pt 2 reprise editing, scaling/DNR/interlacing/branching errors on video effects in Timelash/Revelation, text note errors that contradict what’s on screen in Attack.

      I’m sure that’s down to availability on filming dates. He’s a really busy man with appearances and he seems to travel about a lot.

      We got him on Season 23 Behind the Sofa and hopefully they can get him for the Season 4 – 6

      I believe he has said that he has filmed behind the sofa for the mind robber.

    • Sofia Fox

      Didn’t he record for the Mind Robber Behind the Sofa at least?

    • Prowl1701

      February 24th, 2024 - 2:53am

      I believe he mentioned at a con that he had recorded for the mind robber.

    • Auton

      February 24th, 2024 - 6:51pm

      Which means he’s done all of Season 6 Behind the Sofa set. Hopeful Season 6 will be the next season because all our shelves are lacking a troughton set. Followed by Season 25

      Rumours point to S25 coming along next in Limited Edition format

    • JRT!

      Yes. I prefer to wait for those. I bought a few of the limited edition versions but with every one the plastic trays fell out after a time. Much prefer the standard packaging.
      The booklets are nicer in the ltd versions but as Ive never read any of them I can live with the standard versions.

      Agreed. Less expensive, saves space and is generally less hassle in the long run.

    A question for the people who scour the internet: any news on whether any of the errors/glitches will be fixed? (My feeling is probably not – I’m guessing Meglos was quietly fixed on S18 purely because it was a contractual credit.)

      From what I heard there isn’t the budget and time to fix it. However the error at the start of revelation part 2 was fixed for the American release so it might be fixed for this. Guess we will have to wait

    • Ian Cotterill

      ‘Revelation – Part 2’ certainly needs fixing. Not only was there a problem with the opening shots, but one of the CGI effects from the end was missing on the blu ray.

      Interesting because the file was on the disc when I digitised it to my hard drive, it would okay now I have checked and it isn’t there on the disc, but is on the ripped version?? Encoding issue? I don’t know

      If anyone does buy the standard set please let us know if errors have been fixed. I might buy it to swap the discs around.

      I thought that too – this has gone round quick

      Then again, the Limited print of this was announced early 2022 – so the 2yr gap still stands

      That was verycquick. I wasnt expecting this to drop until at least june. Its usually th2 2 year mark. Whats going on?
      Not that i,m complaining. I collect the standard editions. Season 2 next.

      Saying that, there is no release date, so Amazon getting in the preorders early.
