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.

Ambassadors 5 wasn't done for the DVD for that reason - it was good enough and wasn't worth the expense.

eddierobson.bsky.social•73 days ago

I was just thinking of Mind 1, where they couldn't pull the colour information and had to do it by hand. Obviously they can fall back on the off-air tapes for this one so it's not such a big deal if that's the case.

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

Or maybe the US off air recordings were good enough to use (like Ambassadors 5 on DVD)

chris-egb.bsky.social•72 days ago

Quite possible, although the episode 3 reprise was manually colourised for the DVD. Hopefully not too much longer until we find out!

I assumed they were using elements from both sources.
