I like the Dr.Who theme and I've got a question about it:
What the hell was it played on???


Hi Craig... ;D
It was produced electronically in the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop using crude oscilators.... 8)....!
(Long before modern synthesizers became available).
Cheers mate... ;D..!

Paul you've been spending too much time on the wrong side of the border mate ;) ;D ;D ;D
Oh and general Dr. Who factoid here, the noise of the TARDIS materalising and dematerialising was made my dragging a metal ruler up and down a piano wire, and then playing the recording of the noise v.slowly ;)
I know lots of useless stuff about Dr. Who, one of my all time favourite sci-fi series. Far more intelligent than any other.
Okay for an extra point what does TARDIS stand for?

Tom Baker without a doubt the finest of the Dr. Whos.
My dad once met Patrick Troughton (the 2nd Doctor) in a restaraunt in Amersham, and got an autograph for himself >:(

I have a funny idea the some of the introduction music may have been produced using the "THERAMIN"...?
Does anyone remember that musical instrument...?
It consisted of an electronic oscillator and a loudspeaker, where the frequency could be smoothly changed by passing a hand over it's aerial..
I have made several replicas of it many years ago in my electronics workshop... 8)...!
...long before my Yamaha Digital Programmable DX7 synthesizers were invented... :)...!

Cheers all... ;D...!

Yackety Sax - Benny Hill Show theme

You brits give us the best stuff!  Anything in the world is funny when sped up and played alongside that song.

Paint it Black was definitely my all time favorite.  Every time I hear that song I think of Tour of Duty.

CHiPs...as horrible as that song was, you just know you're in for a great show when you hear it.
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.
