That was stunning.
This clip was used in the colorization of The War Games and was posted in that thread, but it's amazing work and always fun to watch. 
It makes it look like it is from the Pertwee era, but personally i will stick with the full fat B&W War games, unless they want release a full fat colour WG, then my money is sitting there for them to take. Ha
The thing that lets it down is the NuWho publicity photos. The drawings should have remained tbh.
Overalll the War Games was too cut down (there’s lots of shots that tell you a character is important, but that character has basically been cut everywhere else for instance)

New colour = great, if slightly oversaturated but nothing to actually whine about.
New backing music = detracting, mawkish, overly loud (smothers dialogue too), and laugh-inducing. The original in 1969 had enough tension to not need anything added.
Then the CGI of Troughton sitting on his throne and turning into Pertwee - wasn't that inspired by a fan video on YouTube?

I believe it outright *was* the YouTube clip.
At least, since "The Five Doctors" confirmed what what happened to the First and Second Doctors was the same "regeneration" that happened to the Third and Fourth, and not some kind of separate process.
A billion years ago, someone posted an article here from somewhere (I don't know if it was a fanzine or authorized book/magazine) from before "The Five Doctors" where the author's opinion that the First-to-Second Doctor transition was him becoming physically younger but keeping the same body, and the Second-to-Third was a cosmetic alteration, and the Doctor's first actual regeneration into a totally different body was Third-to-Fourth.
It’s that way if you take screen dialogue alone and disregard the later stuff. Though arguably The Three Doctors very much cements them as separate incarnations.
I was mostly just saying that the scene has always essentially been framed as an ‘execution’ scene, even allowing for them commuting his sentence into exile. (The War Doctor was full on executed, and I imagine Shada may have been an option if the Doctor hadn’t argued his case.)
