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.

There is no Fugitive Doctor. Doctor Who ended in 2017! We know for a fact that there were only 11 Doctors up until Matt Smith. Where were all the millions and billions of Doctors before Hartnell hiding when the Church of the Holy Mainframe were looking for them?

 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.

It looks better than The Church on Ruby Road crap we were given last year.
