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.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
