Doctor Who: ‘Fortress of the Daleks’ and ‘Invasion of the Daleks’ - TM2YC

TM2YC selected two of the weakest Doctor Who entries, the stand alone movies with Peter Cushing, and reedited each into three episodes, in keeping with the BBC series.
Futhermore, he decolored both, so they resembled the late 60’s (Hartnell and Troughton eras).

Terrific work all around. Not only in cutting, but in the decision to switch to black n white.
Not hard, sharp contrast black n white, either, but a scale similar to the late 60s, were well thought out.

Narrative - Fast moving episodes, much better than the original series which tended to drag several times.
This is an edit that could almost fit in the canon proper.

Enjoyment - To quote Danger Mouse’s sidekick, Penfold, “Crikey!”
Plenty here to enjoy, to appreciate, to brag about.
The extras, talk about goodies! Not only bonus material, but BBC voiceovers.
The main downside is Peter Cushing as the doctor.
His was not a portrayal I enjoyed. Don’t know whether this was his interpretation or straight from the script, but his addled, confused manner was more onset Alzheimer’s than brilliance. There was no way to excise him or add starch to his manner.
Cushing did not hurt my opinion of the edit, however. Indeed, TM2YC did quite a bit to maximize the action, and heighten the Daleks, and minimize Cushing’s fey doctor.
He is not Hartnell (let alone Pertwee), but these two stories can now stand in the same room as classic BBC Doctors.
