One of the best opening episode of a DW story.So sad than that nincompoops at the bbc wiped the original colour tape.

I love how the Doctor has to use a telephone box to contact people -- doesn't the Tardis have technology as simple as a phone?

@ShelltoonTV1 Black and white are colors.

We open on our adventure only to find that ALL THE COLOR IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN STOLEN!

Sarah Jane = smokin' hotness!!!
I was sad when Elisabeth Sladen passed away this year. She was a damn good actress and person.

@MrClassicDoctorWho The BBC wiped numerous of their tapes, and so oftentimes, such as here, the only surviving recordings are black and white. This isn't the only episode where it happened, there are a couple other Pertwee episodes (although I can't come up with the others by name). My mom (I've had to catch up with the retro Whos being only 18) says that she distinctly remembers this one having been in colour when it was originally broadcast.

Apparently the colorisation of this hasn't come out very well so they just gave up and what they release will be the best they could do. A pity.

let's hope legend films or west wing studios recolourize this.

Malcolm Hulke was, by far, the best writer of the Target novelizations. (Terrance Dicks, bless his heart, did little more than transpose the scripts and then claim a writer's credit.) And what a treat to see the lovely young Sarah Jane in B/W!! My favourite companion, the little cupcake!
I can remember when this episode didn't exist, and the local PBS station had to run this story with only Episode 2 as the start. Damn the BBC for wiping all those old tapes!!!
