===Documentary make-overs=== Colorization is sometimes used on [[documentary film|documentary]] programmes. ''[[The Beatles Anthology]]'' TV show colorizes some footage of the band, such as the performance of "[[All You Need Is Love]]" from the TV special ''[[Our World (TV special)|Our World]]'' (1967). In the documentary, this scene begins in its original black-and-white before [[dissolve (film)|dissolving]] into seemingly realistic, [[psychedelia|psychedelic]] color.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.beatlesagain.com/breflib/anthvid.html |title=Anthology Home Video |access-date=2007-01-01 |publisher=Beatles Reference Library |archive-date=2010-12-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101228050428/http://www.beatlesagain.com/breflib/anthvid.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The color design was based on color photographs taken at the same time as the special was shot. More Beatle footage was colorized for the 2016 documentary ''[[The Beatles: Eight Days a Week]]'', such as a performance of "[[Help!

There had previously been full-color documentaries about World War II using genuine color footage, but since true color film was not practical for moving pictures at the time of World War I, the series consists of colorized contemporary footage (and photographs).<ref>{{cite web|last=Bowser|first=Jacquie|url=https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/telegraph-launches-ad-campaign-first-world-war-giveaway/765523|title=Telegraph launches ad campaign for First World War giveaway|work=CampaignLive.co.uk|date=8 November 2007|accessdate=3 October 2017|archive-date=3 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171003053714/http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/telegraph-launches-ad-campaign-first-world-war-giveaway/765523|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://cosmolearning.org/documentaries/world-war-1-in-colour-406/|title=World War 1 In Colour (2003)|work=cosmolearning.org|accessdate=14 October 2021|archive-date=14 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211014062452/https://cosmolearning.org/documentaries/world-war-1-in-colour-406/|url-status=live}}</ref> Several documentaries on the [[Military Channel]] feature colorized war footage from the Second World War and the [[Korean War]].{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} The 1960 [[Masters Tournament]], originally broadcast in black-and-white and recorded on [[kinescope]], was colorized by Legend Films for the documentary ''Jim Nantz Remembers''.
