I was going to take some pictures from the latest DWM which arrived a day early chez moi, but someone on FB had already taken a pic of the spread above. Our first glimpse of the colourised version of The Daleks, due to be screened along with a repeat of An Adventure in Space and Time on BBC Four on the evening of 23rd November. Not sure about Barbara's bright pink blouse, but the Daleks themselves look okay.
We really need to see what it looks like in video however, to really see if this has been a successful experiment. How they will condense seven episodes down to 75 minutes is the other unknown.
There had been rumours that the first story was to be colourised for the anniversary, but that's out of bounds at present.
You'll note that they have given the Daleks new CGI weapon effects. Interesting to note that if successful they may colourise other 60's material.
The other thing to say about the new DWM, which deals mainly with the forthcoming specials, is that it prints the final results of the anniversary poll.
You'll recall that the top two stories for each Doctor went into a further draw to pick the overall Top 10.
There are four stories from the classic era, two of which are from Tom Baker's tenure. Five are written by Steven Moffat.
The results are:
1. Heaven Sent
2. World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls
3. Genesis of the Daleks
4. The Caves of Androzani
5. The Day of the Doctor
6. Blink
7. Human Nature / The Family of Blood
8. City of Death
9. Remembrance of the Daleks
10. Silence in the Library / Forest of the Dead
I'd agree with most of this, but the way the poll was designed has meant a lot of Hinchcliffe-Holmes material didn't get a chance. I would have placed a number of their stories above three of these.
For my views on Heaven Sent, I'd point you towards the Countdown to 60 piece I posted on 4th November: TARDIS Musings: Countdown to 60: Heaven and Hell
