Let's face it: lots of people would watch those stories if the horribly loud colors were toned down.
Is it too much to ask to have at least the option of watching a de-colourised version of Vengeance on Varos? Old fans can still watch the original version if they want, it's not going anywhere, but if the BBC released the alternate, black and white versions of these classic episodes, it would be able to SELL THEM TWICE!![]()

I know
I am trying to make a point though, if it's acceptable to colourise the B&W shows why not the reverse? I mean why not just digitally darken 6's clothes, give him the blue outfit people like?
Half the people on this board feel the sixth Doctor is the greatest, and never miss an opportunity to remind us of his awesomeness, while the other half think that sixth Doctor cheerleaders are delusional fetishists.was there a thread that hailed the 6th and placed him on an alter or something?

Omaha has the mistaken impression that The Sixth Doctor is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
That being said, I like The Sixth Doctor, especially in the Big Finish audios (I think his Doctor shines the most in the audios, closely followed by The Eighth Doctor).

Yes, there was a Sixth Doctor. There are a variety of explanations for his sudden regeneration, but all we know from on screen is that he ... regenerated.There was a sixth Doctor?
Was he the one who died because he fell over?
Omaha is going to kill you, Starkers!![]()
Isn't it against the board rules to create a thread simply to troll one specific poster, as Starkers has done?I know![]()
One - It's not acceptable to colorize the Black and White shows, and it's not acceptable to de-colorize the best Doctor's shows either.I am trying to make a point though, if it's acceptable to colourise the B&W shows why not the reverse? I mean why not just digitally darken 6's clothes, give him the blue outfit people like?

Yes. The Sixth Doctor is the best Doctor in the history of ever. Best on the show, best off the show, best in the audios, he's just generally the best Doctor around. Tennant couldn't hold a candle to his awesomeness, and Colin Baker would be the first to tell you it's true.by the way, did I miss something with Omaha and the 6th doctor? there seems to be a running joke about the 6th and most fans who do not like him?? was there a thread that hailed the 6th and placed him on an alter or something?
Those who are under the misimpression that there was anything less than perfect in the entire Sixth Doctor's run simply need to have their heads examined.Half the people on this board feel the sixth Doctor is the greatest, and never miss an opportunity to remind us of his awesomeness, while the other half think that sixth Doctor cheerleaders are delusional fetishists.was there a thread that hailed the 6th and placed him on an alter or something?
That's not true. He was around - and great - long before sliced bread. Time travel, dontchyaknow.Omaha has the mistaken impression that The Sixth Doctor is the greatest thing since sliced bread.![]()
Too many people look at the costume and decide he's not something they want to watch. I call them idiots. Fortunately in the audios, people can imagine them in any costume they wish.That being said, I like The Sixth Doctor, especially in the Big Finish audios (I think his Doctor shines the most in the audios, closely followed by The Eighth Doctor).

Might be an interesting experiment, maybe I'll adjust VLC sometime and try it.
