on 23rd November on BBC Four.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but the colourisation will be followed by a repeat of 2013\u2019s An Adventure in Space and Time, the one-off special about the making of the show\u2019s first episode, starring David Bradley as William Hartnell.<\/p>\n<p>There will also be a five-minute documentary on Hartnell airing alongside it.<\/p>\n<p>For the colourisation, Doctor Who\u2019s second ever serial, which is collectively known as The Daleks, has also been edited down, with its seven 25-minute episodes being recut as a 75-minute feature-length outing.<\/p>\n<div
