Friday at 11:05PM CST "Doctor Who And The Silurians - recolored" episodes 1 and 2 of 7
Huh? I thought the version Iowa aired a few months ago was the restored one. But IPTV is spending most of April showing this story, to be followed by the recolored episodes of Terror of the Autons. Whatever their reasoning, the recolorization jobs are quite good. Assuming they're sent the right tapes, of course. My source in Iowa says that their special broadcast of the extended version of The Curse of Fenric last month was fouled up. Aparently, they were given and aired the original broadcast version. I can only imagine the words between the program director and the supplier after that one. If anyone's still reading, the 3rd Doctor, the Brigadier, and Liz investigate a nuclear power complex that's suffering a series of baffling power losses. The Doctor wonders if it might have something to do with nearby caves.
