100%The picture quality is excellent: the Restoration Team have used the VIDFire process to recreate the image as it would have been on its original 1968 TV broadcast. On the downside, the studio background is much more clear now than ever before. One of the few times when lower picture quality represents a plus factor. Of course, it doesn't detract from the power of the story.
The sound quality is excellent too.

After a battle against the Dominators, the Doctor and his companions take refuge from a lava flow. When his companions express concern that the TARDIS defences might not be sufficient protection against the lava flow, the Doctor uses an emergency system to remove the TARDIS from space and time. Finding themselves in a white void that seems to be nowhere and no time, the travellers take the chance to relax and repair the TARDIS. However, other forces begin to manifest themselves and very soon the travellers must battle against fictional characters and the mysterious master who manipulates them.
