Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker
The travellers arrive in a strange domain presided over by the Celestial Toymaker — an enigmatic, immortal entity who forces them to play a series of games, failure at which will render them his playthings for all eternity.
From the archive
The only surviving episode of the 4-part Doctor Who story The Celestial Toymaker. In this concluding episode, "The Final Test", the Doctor (William Hartnell) nears the end of his game against the Toymaker (Michael Gough), while Steven (Peter Purves) and Dodo (Jackie Lane) take on Cyril (Peter Stephens) in a lethal game of hopscotch to try and recover the TARDIS. I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
