50 years of "Doctor Who" Themes

Thanks to the BBC, us whovians can now watch all the iterations of our favorite them music


Presented in two parts, just click where indicated in the video.

It's very interesting to watch how the title morphed over the years, as well as seeing all our beloved Doctors.

  3. Thanks for the link!

    I did quite a bit of that stuff in high-school with my trusty Sony TC-630, and some test equipment I had for my Amateur radio station.

    I knew I wasn't alone, but I'd never heard of Doctor Who, although I did listen to BBC quite a bit on shortwave.

  4. Well, you wouldn't hear Dr. Who on shortwave. I suppose that was mostly news, and maybe some radio dramas?

    I never did own a reel-to-reel. Would be fun to play around with one though. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop had this monster deck -- wish I could think of what it was called. These days, you can recreate all that stuff on a PC, but I wonder whether it'd be as much fun.

  5. Probably a big Ampex deck with 10-1/2" reels.

    Had one of those in College, and just recently got rid of it. It was working perfectly, but simply too big to squeeze into the Radio Room here at the house.

    IIRC, The Beeb was mostly news and talk, with a bit of music here and there. Don't recall hearing any radio dramas, but then I didn't listen to it a lot, as I was usually on 7MHz, LSB!

Keep it civil, please....

Gloomy, Gritty, Grey Day

 At 1700 local it's as described in the headline; 30*F, 88% RH, completely overcast, snowing like crazy (small flakes, but lots of them)...
