The new Doctor Who was brilliant, got off to a great start and I am looking forward to more.


But what have they done to the original music?? Made by Delia Derbyshire in the BBC radiophonic workshop in 1963. All electronic but no modern synthesisers it was fantastic. Anyone else remember the BBC radiophonic workshop? For years I thought the bass was real. Next vampires and dalec?s, brilliant.

It was quite a weird but enjoyable episode- mind you, I did watch it at abt 2 in the morning.

I did think the new Doctor did go a little bit OTT sometimes. I'll check with my 5yo niece aka the gremlin, to check if he was good or not.

I also agree about the music & the baddies too ( did I see those creepy statues?? )


Lastly, here's the best reason to watch.

A bit of trivia:


The theme music was composed by the late Ron Grainer: "In 1963, Grainer was asked to provide a theme for a new children's BBC's science fiction series entitled "Doctor Who" (1963). Despite some changes in the arrangement, this theme is still being used today - some 43 years later! The very first episode of Doctor Who was broadcast in November, on a day when television was dominated by the news of the shooting of President Kennedy, so tended to pass almost unnoticed, but soon became one of the most popular children's programmes of all time."

Hal,


Yes you are correct the music was composed by Ron Grainer but was done/made by Delia. I love the original any way and would be up for buying it if it's available, I am sure it is. I am old enough to remember the first series and while I didn't hide behind the couch I always had a cushion to cover my face for the scary bits.


Cheers


Chick

I came across a Dalek checking out the times on the Top Gear Lap Times board today and thought it made a reasonably amusing photo op so snapped away. Imagine my surprise when I got home and uploaded the shot to my PC, guess which star in a reasonably priced car it appears to be pointing its cannon at? Coincidence? I don't think so!

I remember watching it with my whole family back in the 60s (from behind the sofa... genuinely) luckily it used to be followed by The Monkees so that kind of took my fear away before bed.

are you mad ? it could go on forever ... don't see any reason for it to stop just as long as there are good stories , good aliens , and plenty of pace and excitement .... long may he re-generate .:))

Liked Matt Smith's performance very much.


Not convinced about Amy although Amelia was quite winning. For those of you feeling pangs for the kissagram I'll let you know if she's any more convincing in person 'coz I know where she lives! Mwahahahahahaaaaaa! WeeeOooooo duh-na-na-naa duh-na-na-naa...

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
