Doctor Who bits and bobs
Posted by dailypop on September 22, 2007
Over at the excellent AMC Sci-Fi blog, there are two recent posts about the famous Timelord that should get your attention.
First, a Halloween idea that would make designer Ray Cusick proud… until he realizes he’ll get no money from this one either (the designer of the Daleks was cheated out of any residuals by now exterminated but still wealthy writer Terry Nation).Dalek Jack O’ Lantern
Second, a source for all those remixes of the Doctor Who signature tune. The instantly recognizable tune by Ron Grainer (also responsible countless other theme songs including The Prisoner) and Delia Derbyshire has been adapted so many times I’ve lost count… thankfully not everyone has.
For the record, the recent rewrite by Murray Gold leaves me quite cold. I prefer the alien/weird tune from the 60’s-70’s to the full Welsh Orchestra.
