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

230 minutes down to 90 is drastic cutting -  even the worst
serials didn't have THAT much padding.

A few seconds of Pat clowning here and there would be
pointless.

Trepidation - about the "regeneration scene" from Pat to

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.

250 minutes the original.

This is a new edited version of "The War Games", in colour...to
sit alongside the original. Not replace it!

 Still as bad as the las air colourised version.
