"Yes, they have managed to achieve colour recovery on The Mind of Evil episodes 2-6 (Episode 1 is apparently unrecoverable due to some setting made in original transmission that prevented the chroma information from being recorded). But the result is far from stable. While some scenes, such as one shown to us from Episode 2, are stunning in how well the original colours were able to be recovered, other scenes are much less than satisfactory. We saw a clip from the climax of the story in Episode 6 where the colours bled badly into each other and there was psychadelic strobing effects when characters moved on screen.
So the short story here is: yes, The Mind of Evil is now (mostly) in colour through a process that seemed like science fiction even a year ago. No, it's not coming out on DVD anytime soon."
Absolutely gutting. Was really looking forward to a colourised version of The Mind of Evil coming out.
"The classic series range will soon be reverting to the branding of the new series and after five years Doctor Who will have one unified brand. And for all those fans who fear for the spines in their DVD collection, BBC and 2Entertain are apparently going to release reversible cover art with the 'McGann' logo still on the opposite side. (North Americans need to start lobbying BBC America!)"
BBC being awesome. Keeping the original style as an option is huge plus for me. Just hope they don't decide to rerelease everything again to fit in with the new branding, as I'd be stupid enough to buy them again.
