In both versions of Axos, several sequences from Episode Two are replaced with footager from a PAL VT studio tape, and the cliffhanger of Episode Three from the PAL VT Four. Below are an example from each story – note some of the improvement can only be appreciated when viewing the video in motion these images demonstrate the decreased screen area on the generally better BD restoration. As a result, these versions also appear, in SD, as bonus alternate versions ( Axos from its first release in 2005, as the 2012 SE used the same restoration technique as the Blu-Ray). This restoration technique caused some new artefacts, and slightly cropped visuals, so arguably the original DVD releases which used just the reverse standards converted NTSC VTs (and not the b/w film) could be considered preferable to some. Several scenes from Episode Six are held on an offair NTSC VHS, which was used to create a bonus feature at the end of the original VHS release (the episodes themselves being in b/w), which has not been necessary since the advent of chromadot recovery.Ĭolony in Space and The Claws of Axos Episode Two and Three are taken from B/W film telerecordings with the colour added back from reverse standards converted NTSC VT returned from Canada in 1981 ( Axos) and 1983 ( Colony). The Mind of Evil Episode One is from a hand-colourised B/W film telerecording, with the cliffhanger and remaining episodes colour-recovered using the chromadots. The Claws of Axos Episode One and Episode Four, along with The Dæmons Episode Four were remastered from their original PAL VTs (with elements of Axos One from an original studio tape). This was the first in the range since Season 14 the previous May, after the COVID-19 pandemic slowed production of bonus features. This season was the eighth released in The Collection range, on 8th March 2021.
