- If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.

There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.

To answer your questions: this is the last story of the Third Doctor's second season, so you're right, it's a bit soon to be worrying about losing him yet... :-) And yes, this is one of the stories which has had to be recolourised -- apart from Episode 4, which for some reason (no one knows why) managed to survive the BBC's archive purges of the 1970s and so should look much better than the others now. In this case, the recolouring was done by overlaying onto the monochrome film recordings the colour signal from a domestic videotape recording made by a fan when the story was shown in the U.S. in 1978. Despite the care taken by the restoration team, there's no way to avoid the colour being considerably fuzzier than it would have been on the original transmission.
