It's more than just colourisation, they recovered 16mm footage from location shoots, which gives us some of those crisp shots they've used for promo pictures.
It's pretty exciting, almost enough to ease my worries how they're going to edit a >4hrs serial down to a 90 minutes special...
And they're also making a regeneration scene based on a fan creation that actually shows the regeneration iirc. But rip 6B.
Oh man, is it confirmed that it's a Second to Third Doctor regeneration? 😞
I were holding out hopes that they'd snuck in a cheeky Jo Martin cameo!
Article says "The episode will feature the Second Doctor's never-before-seen regeneration into the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee), alongside recovered footage not seen since the original broadcast."
Ah, damn. I read some advance news earlier in the month so I only skimmed this one. There goes my Fugitive 6B pipedream 🙂
