Similarly, can you watch the original b&w versions or have all of them been colourised? Or was it just a case that the ones colourised should have been in colour anyway?

No original b&w stories have been colourised ( thank gawd! )
Day of the Daleks and The Curse of Fenric have had makeovers which really help. Many other stories have optional new effect sequences.

As Mojo says, the only stories to have added colour are Pertwee ones which should be colour but black and white prints were all that survived the BBC cull.
