Matthew Purchase

Thanks to everyone who has purchased a Ncuti tee. So far I have donated £284 for the Children of Rwanda charity of. There is still time to buy a tee, and I will be donating 100% of the profit. My Redbubble store is the only legitimate way you can buy it. redbubble.com/shop/ap/115097…

BBC Studios to stop using AI to restore Classic Doctor Who - Sign the Petition! c.org/sppSX9HNPP via @UKChange

@NN121314 They are using the audio with the film.

@TheCyberdevil What audio are they restoring? Don't they have Graham Strong's audio?

Restoration details about The Daleks’ Master Plan. Thankfully from their preview pics, no AI upscaling.

“Doctor Who fans are always moaning” Well dya know what’s just as irritating? Doctor Who fans who will not under any circumstances have a single bad thing said about the series. The ones who won’t allow anything even remotely negative to burst their little bubble of perfection 🙄

@nigelkirk iPlayer doesn’t support it, so it may be added later.

@TheCyberdevil No mention of the VidFIRE process though.

@Support My main account @TharriesYT was hacked I can’t get back in because I don’t have an authentication app I managed to reset my password but because I don’t have an authentication app I can’t get back in. Gonna tag @Darren_Mooney just cause he can verify this happened.

Doctor Who Season 21's Resurrection of the Daleks is an AI write off on Blu Ray then. You're supposed to ENHANCE detail not smooth it out.

Russell has deleted the story now.

Oh god. RTD likes AI slop.

@pheebs_18 Yes. I fear he is going to do it.

@TheCyberdevil remember when he said that they could recreate william hartnell with ai and ncuti and millie were sat there like “k!ll us now”?

@Thomashyne80374 Oh god. I read that rumour. Please Lord forbid. 🤢

@TheCyberdevil Remember 2024 imagine William Hartnell cgi hope to god don’t happen in this years Xmas ep 🤢

@gnattress @finneyzair Paul Vanezis didn’t do the restoration on Season 21. The booklet credits Peter Crocker and SVS.

@finneyzair @TheCyberdevil I know Paul! I wonder if he needs a trip to Barnard Castle?

@sjq000 There’s so much good work on these releases that has been overshadowed by the restoration. It’s such a shame.

@TheCyberdevil You know how bad this is? No one is even talking about how good the SE elements of Warriors. I'm in the middle of Awakening and the film sequences are gorgeous. But the AI is so bad it's the entire discourse of the release.

Yikes.

I still can’t quite believe we are down to 95 missing episodes. We were on 97 for too long

@Rob_Watkins I have

@TheCyberdevil Good post Matthew. Have you put it on GB? They removed loads of posts about AI on the boxset yesterday

@willdofficiale Yes. Planet of Fire.

@TheCyberdevil Agree they should replace the discs and stop using it. Didn't AI even turn the police boc text into nonsense on one episode?

The AI is so appalling that it's actually erased William Lucas' spectacles from his face. They need to stop whatever 'restoration' they're doing on upcoming sets. Go back to 13, and 21, press Ctrl+Z on the 'restoration' and get ready to start printing some replacement discs.

@JoshLFCanfield No I am watching an episode. Then getting distracted by the upscale.

@TheCyberdevil Are you freeze framing everything to within an inch of it's life ? 🤣🤣
