Report from the This Week in Doctor Who Archive:

Friday 27th July 2001:
KTEH 54 San Jose, CA http://www.kteh.org/
Sun 11PM PDT Doctor Who And The Silurians eps 5+6 of 7
Recolored using a US recording of a 1970s TV broadcast. The tail end of episode 5 and the start of episode 6 had to be colored from scratch, with vastly inferior results. The 3rd Doctor tries to make peace with the Silurians, but one of them gets the idea to infect and wipe out humanity. Anyone infected must be quarantined before it spreads out of the area - or out of the UK!
