Review of The War Games in Colour by turlough

This review contains spoilers!

A mostly great adaptation and respectful to the original, the colouring is fantastic and you wouldn't be able to tell this was originally made in black and white. The new score is beautiful and the story itself is obviously great, one of the best and arguable most important Classic Who stories out there. Troughtons regeneration, whilst obviously heavily edited, still did the man justice, and the little touches of showing the other Doctor's faces was hilarious. My only main issue was with the length, while the major plot elements remain in the story, a lot of minor dialogue and character developments were left out, leaving the story feeling quite rushed and some of the side characters feeling underdeveloped.
