Third Doctor serial ‘Mind of Evil’ restored to color for the first time in 40 years

via DoctorWho.tv:

• Due to a policy of “junking” video tapes in the 1960s and 70s, the original colour versions of all episodes of The Mind of Evil were lost, with only black and white copies remaining in the archives. Two types of colour restoration were used on this release:
• Colour recovery was used on episodes 2-6, where the B&W tapes retained the original colour information, hidden in their signal. These were restored by Richard Russell of the Colour Recovery Working Group.
• Manual colourisation was needed for episode 1, where due to the original colour-to-B&W transfer settings, no hidden colour information existed. Stuart Humphryes manually recoloured every fifth frame (out of 36,000!) in Photoshop, and the information in these “key frames” was then extrapolated out over subsequent frames.

The re-colored version of Mind of Evil is now available on DVD.

CBC News: Doctor Who lookalike causes double-takes in Edmonton

Twitter was abuzz earlier this week when the BBC announced that Matt Smith, the latest actor to play the main character in Doctor Who, is stepping down.

Some fans might wonder if Smith quit the popular British show to work at a Planet Organic grocery store in Edmonton.

There, at the checkout, is a man who looks very much like Smith and even dresses like his character on the show.

“One guy actually took a picture of me,” says Smith lookalike Christian Milanovic. “So that was interesting. Then he tipped me.”
