Very obscure #DoctorWho photo restoration for you today: the cover of the October 1965 issue of ‘Amateur Tape Recording’ where a boy called Peter interviews Dalek Six (on an Akai X-IV Cross Field tape machine) in front of *that* Dalek console prop.

Hello! It’s been a while so here are a couple of nice colourised #DoctorWho companion portrait shots to make up for it:

Peter Purves photographed in 1965 and Elisabeth Sladen photographed in 1975. Legends both.

I’ve been very lax with new #DoctorWho colourisations for my #NotQuiteAdventCalendar but I’ll try to make up for it in the next few days. To kick off here’s a previously unpublished shot of Frazer Hines on location in Snowdonia for ‘The Abominable Snowmen’ in early September 1967

New #DoctorWho colourisation for my #NotQuiteAdventCalendar collection: Peter, Bill and Maureen meet the Chumblies in TC4 on Friday 9th July 1965 for ‘Four Hundred Dawns’. All colours vetted for accuracy by Mr P. Purves, and it turns out the Chumblies were blue, not pink!

I didn't have time for a proper #DoctorWho Advent Calendar this year (boo!) but I'm going to try and post a few nice things in the run up to Christmas anyway. Kicking off here's a colourisation of a lovely moody Tom Baker portrait from 'Planet of Evil'.

It’s the 60th anniversary of #DoctorWho today, so here’s a special treat: a colourisation & restoration of a *never-previously-published* photo from the pilot!

William Hartnell, Jacqueline Hill & William Russell on the junkyard set in Lime Grove D on Friday 27 September 1963.

There's a new documentary about the Zapruder film up on ITV X now titled 'JFK: The Home Movie That Changed The World' and filled with a ton of photo colourisations by me. Here are a couple of the most insane and time-consuming ones... 😅

New photo colourisation and restoration for you - the original unholy union of Disney and #DoctorWho as Tom Baker takes the hand of The Mouse™ on Sunday 3rd August 1975 in the Odeon ‘Disney Cinema’, St Martin’s Lane, London, during filming of his links for ‘Disney Time’.

I've been working on graphics for a TV documentary lately, and I wanted to really get to grips with Premiere & After Effects. So, naturally, I decided the best test was to remake the Season 3 title sequence for 'The Avengers' from scratch. In HD. And widescreen. So here they are!

60 years ago today: Friday 27th September 1963, Lime Grove Studio D, the pilot episode of #DoctorWho was recorded.

This is a colourisation and major restoration of a design photo - damaged and obscured by light glares - of the pilot version of the Totter’s Lane junkyard set.

And now I’m wondering what exactly those posters are, stuck to the ‘brick’ pillar behind the dummy. They don’t seem to be there in the remount. And screen grabs only help slightly. They might be boxing or wrestling posters maybe? Or even concert lineups. Someone must find out! 😜

New #DoctorWho restoration/colourisation/expansion: William Hartnell shows William Hall (extra & Evening News journalist) around the TARDIS set in TC3 on Fri 3 Dec 1965 before taping ‘The Feast of Steven’.

Bonus fact: That gun-belt was later worn by Steven in ‘The Gunfighters’👍
