I remember reading about the Spider Dalek, but I don't think I saw any pictures.
To see it animated, it actually looks pretty interesting in a Transformers way.

The kids are his sons Jake and Joe.
"I should be mad at him for causing my death, but you know, I owe this resplendent face to him, so it's hard to stay mad, honestly."
One of my favourite bits of Doctor Who this. Really surprised (and delighted) to see it get the full treatment because the understanding has always been that the original masters were lost or at least, incredibly difficult to access. Brilliant stuff.
I thought the same thing. It looked like some old footage recently discovered from a dusty shelf. Proof of the time-traveling Doctor!
I got to see Vincent Price do that Oscar Wilde One-Man-Show in its one night in Columbia SC when I was a grad student at the University there. The site usually hosted country music or big-time wrestling. Oscar might have been amused!
Because the person who originally uploaded it made it look that way. You can see a snippet of the raw greenscreen version at the end of the video.
Sweet! Excited for it as well, especially the bonus features and vastly improved PQ...
Even if the pixel count is stretching it, the superior color space that HDR allows would surely allow 16mm titles such as "Spearhead" to pop more than a hot air balloon convention (or senior prom night with all those pimpled teenagers, but I digress).
Plus, upscaling from 1080P to 2160P is far easier to deal with than going from 480i/576i (essentially 240p/288p interlaced fields per frame, thus avoiding a lot of trickery that dealing with any interlaced material, especially during scene changes using fade or other effects, etc...) The ENT f/x shots were upscaled from 720P to 1080P and look slightly smooth/blurry but nothing even remotely terrible and the technologies have improved since. (Given a choice, any 35mm film being scanned and CGI upscaled is more than a happy medium IMHO but YMMV...)
They weren't from the TV Movie itself, but an earlier part of the long and winding road.
Spider Daleks were Philip Segal's idea, and formed part of the Leekley Bible, which was a pitch to Amblin. It was quite a radical departure from the established show, including making the Doctor half-human, the Master his brother and Borusa his grandfather.
There was a bunch of concept art, and they also envisioned remaking a load of classic Who stories. The Spider Dalek CGI comes from this period.
Ultimately Amblin passed and eventually it ended up at Universal and Fox, becoming the TV Movie with just a few vestiges of the Leekley pitch remaining.

It's long out of print now but there was a book called "Doctor Who: Regeneration" that covered the various permutations for it's 1990's return.
Oh, and the Leekley Bible was a literal printed book.
