Doctor Who Theme – BBC Radiophonic Workshop

EDIT: this video seems to be lost, it’s been pulled off YouTube and I can’t find it! EDIT 2: It’s the feature on the ‘Doctor Who Beginnings’ DVD called ‘Masters of Sound’.

Saw this via Akira the Don and assumed it was the Alchemists of Sound but it’s actually from 1993 ’30 Years of the Tardis’ which I’d never seen (although much quoted second hand) – I’d love to have a copy of this! Can you get it?

And I love the bit at the end – yes Delia is totally right, the music to Doctor Who IS sacrosanct, as all ‘remade’ versions prove, the off-beat non 4/4 groove,

The runthrough I was talking about is also on YouTube (it earlier also mentions the Wobulator which was a homebrew simple electronic noisemaker, not even a synth!) where Mark Ayres runs through each tape loop, track by track showing how it was built up.

P.S. yes I saw End of Time which was the departure of David Tennant – the last 20 minutes were devastating; not too sure about the Timelords return, it had leaked months ago – but the actual ending with Wilf was very sad. Shame he did the Dying Swan bit a la The Trocks and extended his goodbye out FAR too much. But anyway, remains to see whether the Goofy Floppy Haired ‘Gosh’ Doctor of Matt Smith is going to be better, seeing the new trailer really am not sure about the gun and return of Daleks…again.

    That’s very interesting Lucinda, but could you punctuate your paragraph so it makes sense! Thanks.
