Hope - that the colourisation is sympathetic and there aren't too many bright blue floors. Hope - that the story can fit satisfyingly into 90 minutes (I think 120 might do it, 150 (as two 75s) would be better. 230 minutes down to 90 is drastic cutting - even the worst serials didn't have THAT much padding. Hope - that any found footage (as advertised) is meaningful. A few seconds of Pat clowning here and there would be pointless. Trepidation - that the "new effects" and any visual changes (to the offered faces, for example) might spoil the charm of the story or seem out of place. Trepidation - about the "regeneration scene" from Pat to Jon. Still, at least that will shut down the "Fugitive Doctor wasn't before Hartnell" crowd, at least the sane ones. I wasn't keen on the trailer for "Joy to the World", though. I hope it's better than it looks like it might be. -- There are some corners of the universe which have bred the most terrible things.
