It sure is a good time to be a Doctor Who<\/a> fan, and while many are understandably counting down the days until the 60th anniversary episodes, the occasion won\u2019t only be marked by new episodes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, while viewers will of course be treated to The Star Beast<\/a>, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle, Doctor Who fans will also get to watch a new colourisation of the show\u2019s second ever story, The Daleks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will air next week and while we\u2019ve known for a while that the colourisation is happening \u2013 we now have our first look at the new version.<\/p>\n

As part of the exciting colourisation, The Daleks has also been edited down. So that means that although it originally consisted of seven 25-minute episodes, it has now been recut as a 75-minute feature-length episode.<\/p>\n

The original episode\u2019s black-and-white visuals have been colourised for the new version and it will also feature a new score from composer Mark Ayres and new sound design.<\/p>\n

The new colourisation will air on BBC Four on Thursday 23rd November<\/strong> \u2013 the date that marks six decades since Doctor Who\u2019s first transmission.<\/p>\n
