    I don't have a screenshot, but there was also a head with "Owen Harper" written on it (as well as Inara Serra - a character from Firefly) It wasn't as obvious as the Amelia Pond one though.

    Gotta love new episodes of futurama though; new Who and new Futurama? Truly we live in a blessed age!

    But what is with the Doctor's giant hand?

    And why does he look like a cross between Rodney from Only Fools and Horses and the ".Okay :(" guy?

    This is Mark Wallinger‘s “Time and Relative Dimensions in Space 2001″, a life-sized mirrored model of the TARDIS from “Doctor Who,” which at certain angles seems to blend into its environment. It was exhibited at The Hayward Gallery in February 2009.

    Sylvester McCoy gives the Stonehenge speech (starts about 40 seconds to a minute and a half in, depending on how much faffing about about it you want to see).

    You should really rehost images before posting them on a forum. Not only is it rather nasty to leach people's bandwidth but the image can disappear without warning as it has now.

    That's not Eleven's theme! I'm rather disappointed now.

    :) Little too much from the original back track at times, but still impressive enough.

    Just got the sound track, have to say "I am the doctor" is one of the greatest pieces of music I have ever heard (even if a version of it is in almost every episode nowadays).

    Still not enough, I've taken to internally playing it over every slightly dodgy scene of 'Fear Her'. You'd never guess how profoundly it improves affairs.

    The same version, all too frequently. Gold is, unfortunately, reusing a lot of the series five soundtrack when new music would be better.

    The second I heard I am the Doctor I fell in love with it, it pretty much covers all my bases.

    Or "Amy in the Tardis".

    Why is Murray Gold's music suddenly so awesome? I mean, it was always good, but it wasn't... perfect, like it has been the last few years.

    I can't remember it, but 10 had this "sad womany voice" Dr theme, and it was good and spooky, but it wasn't a patch on I am the Doctor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,145 ✭✭✭TheIrishGrover


    I suppose many of his latest themes are based upon or intentionaly resonant with his 11th Doctor theme (Is it called "I Am The Doctor"?) which is, in itself, AWESOME. I mean with that reference point you know it's gonna be good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    Does the studio version also have the Stonehenge speech latched onto the end? I've been obsessively listening to the Proms version, and it's made all the more awesomer with the barking of 'Hello Stonehenge!'.

    My favourite bit of the Stonehenge scene is the "Oh sorry. Dropped it" at the start. I think it's hilarious coming just before such an epic speech :)

    I know! It's also the cutest thing ever, which is odd considering what he's about to face.

    11's theme is pretty awesome alright. I just hope it doesn't get over used. I like to think that when you hear the theme, you know something epic is happening. I liked Ten's "action theme" (as opposed to what Doctor Doom describes as the 'sad womanly voice theme', which was still ok), but 11's theme would have to be my favourite. Strange thought maybe, but I can imagine "I am the Doctor" (or is it "Every star, every planet"?) playing when he finally regenerates (hopefully a long while away yet), arms out stretched, brave and triumphant. A great example of how a good theme can really add to a character.

    Different direction maybe? I do wonder how composers for TV / film work; do they just go off and do their own thing based on the script or draft-edits, or do they actually get direction from the production team?

    I concur though; Gold's stuff has been excellent in series 5/6, the new theme for the Doctor in particular is stirring stuff, it really gets you going. The same though can be said of the visuals too - I don't recall the Tennant years looking so ... cinematic? Epic?

    It depends on the composer, and the amount of free rein the directors and producers are willing to give them. Most films have a producer-inserted sample score which gives an idea of the mood of the scene they're looking for, and then the composer works from there, but some composers (most notably John Williams, who can get away with it because he's famous) refuse to work with sample scores.

    I'd guess what happened in Gold's case is that the producers took him into their office and said "right, this is how our new Doctor acts. These are the new companions, and this is what we want the overall feel of the show to be. Write us something that fits that." I wouldn't say his music has gotten better as such - it's still very clearly his in style, but he's struck gold (har har) with a couple of the themes - I enjoy the I Am The Doctor theme, but possibly my favourite from season 5 was the classic-sci-fi-esque Silurian theme - and he's writing less of an action score now, which suits him.
