Well this could be very interesting indeed... Obviously the main question is how on earth can they cut anything from that story down to 75 minutes when it's already such a lean script with no padding at all?!?

I'm a huge Troughton fan though, and while I'm g glad there's been something of a First Doctor revival in the last few years it'd be great to see a colourised Mind Robber or something as well, not that it will happen...

Yep. The Doctor and his companions figured out they were powered by static electricity from the floor because they smelt of dodgems. This has been quietly dropped - it gave the series a teachable moment and a means to overcome what is an alien xenophobic psychopath in a small tank but wasn't really flexible enough for future stories.

I see it as a bit of an evolution ans now they can fly. Well except for the genesis of the daleks putting a kybosh on it.
