Last Saturday I attended the Doctor Who Day in Eastleigh - great fun and another TARDIS selfie ❤️

I really *really* love the 2005 Cyberman design. This amazing, unfinished mask will be mine soon!

Had the *best* day at #Utopia2025

@barnabyedwards.bsky.social wonderful to see you today at Utopia, Barnaby!

First “shelfie” of the season! Seeing ‘The War Games in Colour’ in the shops is a wonderful feeling! I had to purchase a copy, just for the rush 😅 It’s lovely reading so many positive comments about the commentary and extras ❤️

"The Doctor's old Time Lord flames have a habit of turning up unexpectedly, with a new face and a grudge. That's never really stopped. So we leaned into that…" @rtipple.bsky.social and I chat to the BBC about #TheWarGamesInColour, OUT NOW ON DVD/BLU-RAY/STEELBOOK! 💥 www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-fea...

Out today! Doctor Who: The War Games in Colour An extended 96-minute version, with updated sound and new score, plus featurettes, commentaries, 16mm film footage and more. Blu-ray Steelbook amzn.to/4a8LrDb Blu-ray: amzn.to/3BR54Te DVD: amzn.to/4fw8lVY

NEW ARTWORK! Today sees the physical media release of The War Games in Colour. Here's a brand new piece of artwork for the story.

💥THE WAR GAMES IN COLOUR💥 is OUT TOMORROW on DVD/Blu-ray/Steelbook! Feat. an additional SIX MINS of colourised footage not in the BBC Four broadcast, plus a TON of extras – including a commentary w/Frazer Hines, Wendy Padbury, Russell T Davies, @markayresrws.bsky.social, @rtipple.bsky.social & me.

The extra 6 minutes of The War Games in Colour really helps the project to shine even more. There is much more breathing space and the story doesn’t feel quite so chaotic. Decent set of extras as well.

*Extras include: 🪖 COMMENTARY w/Frazer Hines, Wendy Padbury, Russell T Davies, @markayresrws.bsky.social, @rtipple.bsky.social, and me 🪖 Full 16mm FILM FOOTAGE 🪖 MODEL-MAKING footage + extended shots 🪖 CONCEPT ART And THAT line we FOOLISHLY cut from the TV edit. 😉 #TheWarGamesInColour 🪖💥🎨

Absolutely loving my new tee ❤️

Sundays are best spent cuddling this little fella ❤️

Lovely gift from Kieran Highman ❤️

Here's a wonderful clip from Ep108 where @rtipple.bsky.social explains what motivates him to colourise black and white #DoctorWho stories like The War Games. It's great to remember that Rich and his team are fans, and doing what they do because they love it. somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-10...

Just out, @richardjsmith.bsky.social chats with Benjamin Cook and @rtipple.bsky.social about #DoctorWho The War Games in Colour, how they made some of the creative choices and how it differs from last year's The Daleks in Colour. Get it while it good and hot: somethingwho.podbean.com/e/episode-10...

All these corridors look the same!! Team Daleks in Colour on set in November 2023 #DoctorWho

Decisions.. decisions..

Ben Cook shared these ‘over there’, so I thought I’d upload to Bluesky x

And some more! #DoctorWho

A few peaks at the glorious model work from The War Games in Colour #DoctorWho

Wow, The War Games in Colour is a beautifully produced, stunning colourisation. It rattled along with pace, tension & verve. And I loved how true the team were to Roger Cheveley's stunning set designs. Huge congrats to all involved!👏👏👏@benjamincook @rtipple.bsky.social @markayresrws.bsky.social

Cross-posting my Blogtor Who review of Doctor Who - The War Games in Colour just because I can. Fast, furious and fun, with some genius storytelling choices lending the tale greater focus, while the colourisation itself raises the bar hugely. A triumph by Ben Cool, @rtipple.bsky.social & the team.

An incredibly exciting day talking The War Games in Colour! 💥 #DoctorWho

I’m looking to sell my original 1965 production design sheet from The Daleks’ Master Plan. Dalek Pursuit Ship set build detail int/ext. It was unfortunately cut in three by designer Chris Thompson many decades ago, and the bottom third is lost (tho thankfully was largely blank). Offers welcome.

First mince pie of the season. No regrets 🤤

We visited family in London this weekend, decided train over car and it was miles less stressful - photo credit my six year old!

Welcome @gallifreyone.bsky.social <3

#DoctorWho #CGSets A recreation of the studio recording for The Five Doctors! Day 1, in TC6 on 29th March 1983. I've also recreated the other two days of the sessions, so stay tuned...

Daddy, Daughter, Dalek ❤️🥰 ...and some kid called Kieran taking photos in my back garden :D

We need to start a grassroots campaign to get the legendary Peter Purves on here <3

I made this years ago - it still makes me laugh. Apologies for the potato quality - it's a rip of a rip of a rip!

A few photos from you-know-where that need to be on this platform. Apologies for the indulgence!

I can't believe we're approaching a year since THIS!
