March 4th, 2025 - 11:22pm@Craig fascinating to read, many thanks for this review.
I’ve noticed quite a number of fans on social media are praising the sound work on Spearhead, so that’s even more proof for me that more 60’s animations are worth it alone for the sound restoration techniques available today. The sound work on Galaxy 4 with the telesnaps / photos was night and day improvement over what was available to Loose Cannon.
Regarding the posts on the ‘blue/grey Pertwee hands’ for a few frames in Ambassadors – much respect to Peter Crocker for admitting his frustration with that and that it was a genuine error. Because this is a commercial project and not a fan edit of course it won’t be possible to mend that for all kinds of logistical reasons, and the fact its just a few frames, I couldn’t care less. Every single Doctor Who media range has its own fair share of human errors – so for something as deeply complex and intricate as chroma colour work to warp out for just a few frames on a commercial Blu-ray set containing a sheer mega ton of material, is not that great of a deal.
I last saw Ambassadors around 2021 – I can’t recall if it had a similar dreaded slower pacing of some of the later 60’s and later 70’s stories given it’s from the start of the 70’s (The Silurians was certaintly too long) – but in terms of the storytelling, characters, plot and tone, it is simply for me one of the very best Doctor Who episodes in one of the best Seasons ever made.
Season 7 takes the science / grounded, human psycological edge of the Hartnell era, with the futuristic and horror feel of the Troughton era, combines them and then cranks it up a gear into what often feels like a more mature, serious kind of realistic gritty spooky final result.
As a whole Season, this one’s easily one of the best in all of Doctor Who.

March 5th, 2025 - 9:47amTotally agree. The Ambassadors of Death is one of my favorite stories and the this seasons one all time greats. As I have been working the last two days, so I haven’t had a chance to watch any of the stories yet. I have watched the Mac Hulke and Nicholas Courtney doc’s. I look forward to seeing how good the restoration is on Silurians and Ambassadors of Death is .
