I thought Silurians looked pretty good on DVD. That was of course its third pass even then. We know it's had Colour Recovery though! Should help with tones, a bit of rainbowing and that missing minute or so they colourised! - ThreadSky

Yeah it looked ok, but that restoration essentially dates from the early nineties and things have moved on a lot. Including Colour Recovery! Terror of the Autons and The Daemons from the S8 set are hopefully the quality we could expect

Oh, they did a fuckton for the 1999 upgrade and the 2008 DVD. The notes are all on the RT site...

They did, but it was the same techniques. It predated all the colour recovery work that allowed for the newer restorations. Terror of the Autons was a compete ground-up restoration for Blu-ray

The Colour Recovery Wiki shows Silurians 2 and 4-7 having been put through the CR process in January this year. https://colour-recovery.fandom.com/wiki/Processed_programmes

Does the chroma dot signal not survive in the TRs of 1 and 3 then?

retrobrendo.bsky.social•73 days ago

Possibly not! It may be the proper filter was used on those, or a some problem yielding a result that’s no better than the existing Ep 1 and 3 colour restoration.

That's a good point. Possibly not. Or MAYBE PAL COPIES OF 1 & 3 HAVE HAVE HAVE (self immolates)
