Doctor Who Discussion


I was wondering when the next animation would be announced. I think TS is one of the most underrated stories from this era, and though the animation still seems rather flat and lacking shadow details like TUM did I’ll pick this set up for the improved telesnap reconstruction and VAM - this is a three-disc set so I assume there’ll be more extras than usual.
 
Digging into the Season 7 collection set this evening with Spearhead from Space and its VAM. The transfer is more or less the same as the old release but with some extra cleanup for part four and it looks very nice as the only classic Who serial to be filmed entirely on 16mm film.
 
Doctor Who and the Silurians is another great story, and showcased the impressive colour recovery process that was implemented to restore this story for the boxset.
 
The Ambassadors of Death was another worthy serial from the season, and the colour recovery here is also impressive, as it’s always looked rough on home media excepting episode 1 where the original PAL Tape still exists.
 
Finishing off Season 7 with Inferno, this is really one of the greats, and the strongest in one of the best seasons in all of Who. I still need to watch some of the new VAM but this has been another great boxset to work through.
