Tue 6PM GMT Doctor Who And The Silurians ep 5 of 7
The most difficult episode of this story to restore the colour to, as the colour video recording was missing the last minute or so. The video version has some rainbow patterning as the quality of the colour degenerates near the end. Apparently the patterning problem has been solved, and this version of episode 5 will look better than the video.
