'Doctor Who' Peter Capaldi sends heartwarming message to grieving fan

The past few weeks have been hard for 9-year-old Thomas Goodall, who lost his grandmother in early October.

It was the first major loss of a loved one for the boy with autism from North Baddesley, England, who relies on a consistent routine to avoid meltdowns, his father, Ross Goodall, said

Things finally began to take a turn for better on Monday, when Thomas received a comforting video message from actor Peter Capaldi, who plays Thomas' favorite TV character on "Doctor Who."

For the first time since his grandmother's death, Thomas smiled.

"I think it probably meant everything to him," his father told CNN. "I think it gave him the emotional support that we as parents couldn't."

After Ross Goodall uploaded the video to YouTube on Thursday for family to see, others took notice and started sharing it, drawing more than 200,000 views in 48 hours.

It didn't come out of the blue. Thomas comes from a household of Whovians, where sonic screwdrivers, robot Daleks and TARDIS time-travel machines make up much of the decor.

I wish I could do a HD version with the corrections included. 

I just don't know anything about the newer ripping methods, video codecs, and how they work with Windows 7.  My SLV version was done on an old Windows XP computer.

If you want I can provide you with the assets I'm using; I have all the non-theatrical SD footage ripped, de-interlaced, upscaled, and denoised in 422 ProRes (I still need to remove all the dirt from the footage); In addition to your analog track I'm in the process of securing a bit-perfect rip of another SLV LD that had a PCM track (it was a Japanese disc); and I have the HDTV broadcast, Blu-Ray, and both trailers (which contain some extra shots, such as the "smirk" from Chapel) in 175X DNxHD.

This should be enough to reconstruct your edit using any popular NLE software, as well as the latest Davinci Resolve which has some editing functionality.

 WOW!  You know I am seriously considering doing this. It would have to be started after the New Year holiday. I would start sometime in January, and hope for it to be finished by Easter.  How does that sound?
