As many of you will know, the first 6 years of Doctor Who were in black & white, moving to colour episodes when Jon Pertwee took over in the 1970s. However, when the BBC destroyed a whole load of Pertwee episodes, some were later re-discovered, however only black & white copies of those colour episodes were found.

I’ve been following a thread in Outpost Gallifrey where some of the fans are re-colouring stills from the black & white episodes using photoshop. Its interesting stuff, and some of the results are fantastic. However, some fans are taking it a step further, and re-colouring sections of the episodes.

Here’s a clip one of them has put on YouTube of a re-colourised version of one of the black & white episodes of Planet of the Daleks. Its excellent work.
