Richard Penna 3,687 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Did anyone else buy the soundtrack? Kind of works more as a concept album of mostly electronic music with a few sections of orchestral work. It's definitely not going to appeal to those attached to Gold's full-blooded orchestral style - totally different type of scoring. I've found it a good for making car journeys a little more dramatic. Highlights for me are everything from Rosa (I'd buy a full episode score in an instant), The Tsuranga Conundrum, the NY special, and Thirteen. Akinola's 'Doctor' theme is one area where I think he's beaten Gold - I absolutely love her theme. I had a pipe dream that they might celebrate his first season with an isolated score on the DVD (like Arnold's first Bond score was marked with an iso score) but I seriously doubt that'll happen.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So now there is a release of the series 9 and 11 soundtracks, but not the series 10 one. Right? Bit of a curious release order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Baker is The Doctor! I haven't, no ... isn't that one of the lost Troughtons? Yes, yes he is. To me, the Doctors can be divided into those born to play it (e.g. Pertwee, T. Baker, Tennant) and those who gave it a shot (e.g. Davison, C. Baker, Eccleston). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,523 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yes, Sweep, it's a lost Troughton. Fortunately, I saw it in 1967. It's the one where they all go back to Skaro, and have an epic punch-up. It's the story that Smith quotes in VICTORY OF THE DALEKS: "This is it; the final end".

Right? Bit of a curious release order... Hopefully we get a release sometime in 2019. It’d be something to look forward to since there will be no new series this year. I’m thinking it will be a 3 disc set this time. 1 for Doctor Mysterio and the other 2 discs for series 10 that will also include Twice Upon a Time. I don’t think there was a lot of new music for that episode to justify a 4th disc. Maybe 6 new tracks? Or maybe it will be a 4 disc set. It might contain previously unreleased tracks from the last 9 series. Muahhahaa.... if only... Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's clarified that in DW world, Silva just puts out the album the composer gives them, hence their comment last year (or whenever) that series 9 wasn't 'available to license' was likely an overly diplomatic way of saying Gold hadn't provided them with an album yet. I wouldn't say I'm salivating over the idea of a S10 release - I digitally bought 3 tracks from S9. Unfortunately the days of buying Gold's physically has stopped.

Chane 1 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I just recently started watching this serial, and the music from the serial is just as awesome as the serial itself.This is probably the only serial that has been filmed for so many years and is still interesting for fans.

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Ingris is indeed lovely ... was charmed by her 'Are you sciencey?' tee, that of course being one of the first things Eleven says to her. Doctor Who, Star Wars, Bond, Indiana Jones, and currently Game Of Thrones ... Mr Glover is exactly the sort of con guest you'd want, really. Sadly, the guy in front of me when I got to his signing table was the last person he signed for that day ... he then stood up and left with fellow guest and GOT co-star Staz Nair, which made me think that maybe they had filming to go and do (the Exhibition Centre that housed the con is not far from the studio where GOT shoots), hence the lack of autographed pic. Also met Caroline Munro (Hammer, Sinbad, Bond etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't remember finding that episode especially bad or anything. More like, it was becoming clear after a few that Chibnall was not a very strong showrunner. I was very much enjoying Whitaker in the role, but felt she was let down by the material. That was my sense after three episodes at least. And I didn't make some hard decision, it just became easy to put off watching the next episode until I found that the season had ended and I thought "why bother." I need to get back to it so I can at least have a more informed opinion of Chibnall so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Apart from the opening and closing episodes, I found myself enjoying the ones where Chibnall had nothing to do with the writing much more than the ones where he did. The New Year's Day special admittedly had its moments, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Rosa although the baddie was next to useless. This series in general will not go down as one that did anything memorable with its villains or monsters - I can barely remember any of the stories. Although apart from Rosa and the Punjab episode, one of my favourites I think is many critics' least - the one aboard the spaceship with the little metal-eating creature. For a long time I've wanted Who to return to the Doctor being faced with more moral issues, rather than the monster of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only intended to make one series, and this was as a favour to RTD for casting him in THE SECOND COMING. While I have every sympathy for Mr. Eccleston, and his current condition, I am curious to know why he never mentions it, while filming ELIZABETH, or OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH, or LET HIM HAVE IT, or LEGEND?

I thought we had to wait a lot longer for this series, but checking dates I think it's just because 2019 has gone quickly. And from Wikipedia, they only finished filming 3 weeks ago!
