Default A bit of nostalgia and history..

To one of the greatest, creepiest, but addictive theme tunes of all time:



Still sends shivers even today.

Pretty rare interview, too:

Nah, I prefer the X-Files theme. As a kid, I always rushed to change the channel when the episode was over so I couldnt hear the music.

I've loved the Dr. Who theme since I discovered the show back in 1984. I never thought it was creepy, just cool.

X-Files. One foggy night I found myself actually whistling that tune, just to fit the mood.

What, you only discovered this now? When I was reading the title I was thinking, It must be the doctor who theme! I love that youtube movie and Christopher's Eccleston ears warping! He manage to put the first doc who theme made by a sintetiser during the 3 rd doctor years, but only use once or two times!

Here's the classic:




PS: What do you say about that eleven doc?

In 1984 all we could see on the sole tv channel here was the president on country tour trips , simple studio staged quizzes, simple studio staged drama and some more president tour trips in the country. We all thought that that kind of tv was actually quite appealing.

Okay, off the top of my head:

First Row:
Susan Foreman
Vicki
Dorothea 'Dodo' Chaplet
Polly Wright (or Lopez, depending on the source)
Victoria Waterfield
Zoe Herriot
Liz Shaw
Josephine 'Jo' Grant
Sarah Jane Smith
Leela
Romana

Second Row:
Romana II
Nyssa
Tegan Jovanka
Perpugilliam 'Peri' Brown
Melanie 'Mel'
Dorothy 'Ace'

I don't know any of the new companions.

Of course the artist managed to leave out one of the very first companions, Barbara Wright, along with all the men:
Ian Chesterton
Steven Taylor
Jamie MacCrimmon (who was in more episodes than any other)
Adric
Vislor Turlough

Am I a Whonut geek or what?

Whoa Sailor Steve, that's pretty impressive, I only remember one Doc Who-gal who had nice knockers.

Well actually I basically just remember the knockers.
