I really like what Ady did there; looks fairly similar to my own second test on that page. It's amazing how much nicer the GOUT looks when you just restore the colours. It's like how when sick people lose all the colour in their skin and look grey, once you see them healthy again you realise how bad they looked.

For what it is worth, I would recommend a light contrast bump in addition to the colour restoration. The GOUT is a bit flat, probably due to the age of the tape and the fact that this was intended for 1990s television. If they were to transfer the print today the contrast would look different. Nothing too serious, because SW has a high-key pastel look, but just a few points of increased contrast I feel it gives the image a little something.
