Hope and trepidation for "The War Games in Colour".

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.

They must be /fought/.
