"Aroon, araan, aroon
Aroon, araan, aroon, araan
Aroon, araan, aroon."

However, the lyrics are slightly different in the original 'Curse Of Peladon'

"Klokeda, partha, mennin klatch,
Ablark, araan, aroon.
Klokeeda shunna teerenatch,
Aroon, araan, aroon, araan"

According to the Radio Times, the BBC were looking at colourising An Unearthly Child for the 50th, but there wasn't time with the available tech then. I think this is actually happening, people...

The most boring story they could colourise.

I get why, being the first, but surely something like The Daleks or The Keys of Marinus would be more watchable and fun for the average viewer from the first season.
