mateya Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Anyone got an mp3 or wav of the theme? go to the torrent site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The theme's on Nite's torrent site, someone was kind enough to record it from the BBC Blue Peter special and its a really good quality version too. Oh and for those people that liked Murray Gold's 2005 edition of the theme. Here's a remix, which adds the bridge and missing parts by a guy called Hardwire.

Ulysses Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Now this does amuse me' date=' why oh why when the BBC try and produce something really intresting do you get the people that dont like it pick tiny faults about a show. Granted it wasnt the best of the new dr who series but to pick faults with it like what the lighting was like or the special effects.[/quote'] Lighting is NOT a nitpick nor is it a ''small'' fault about a show, anyone with an actual clue about film and TV production will tell you lighting will either *make* or a *break* something. Lighting is absolutely essential. Special effects are important too to an extent but not as much, special effects help to get the the point across what we are watching is happening to our eyes and when I see big spaceships enter the atmosphere and not cause massive winds and blow people off buildings yet shatter windows it comes across as rather cheap. Sound engineering/production and mastering is also essential, and many of the people I know in real life who do not not anything of the technical aspects of sound production could tell it was awfull too, one even said they had to turn there TV up to hear the dialouge, so that says something for the ameteurs that produced it. Good to know these huge faults that stick out like sore thumbs didnt stop YOUR enjoyment, but they did for mine but that doesnt lessen my opinion just because YOU dont see the huge errors I do. I'm glad you got amusement from my opinions, I certainly laughed out loud at your reply. :) Hell its beats watching any reality tv and even thou it wasnt perfect it was a damn right more intresting to watch than most of the other things on xmas day. I wouldnt call badly produced TV with completelly unoriginal, predictable and contrived storylines "interesting" at all myself. And if reality TV is the only competition thats not really saying much, filming a plastic bag for several hours is more interesting and original than reality TV. But again, thats just my opinion. Each to there own. I dont know what else was on TV christmas day though as I was doing other things personally. And there must be something good about the new dr who series as it wouldnt of got 9 million viewers. Yes, because popularity = good, right ? Well i am sorry you didnt enjoy watching it, but in the end if you dont like something you will always find faults in anything you watch but i respect your views even thou i dont agree with it and sorry if the rest of us dont know alot about the film production process etc etc, but we have more important things to think about in real life and i aint gonna nit pick about the odd ill placed light bulb lmao.

I respect your right to your perspective but as far as the production values go there are some things so glaring that even a 12 year old could point them out like I said before, lol. All the individual parts make up a whole in any artistic piece. You dont judge a painting a masterpiece because you like it's title or the guy happened to paint something else you like... You judge it based on it's collective parts and merits. Production is a huge part of a television program since tv is a visual medium and should enter into the judging criteria. So it's not nitpicking about a misplaced light bulb, it is a valid comment. In the "real" world I make my livelyhood in film and music production and that is why I am knowlegible about production. Just because you aren't doesn't make my opinions nitpicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andipandi3 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 will attempt to critique without sounding pretentious, as am not film student or such. :rolleyes: I think the tardis interior lighting is one of the things done right. Can't judge the sound due to quality of my download, but no qualms there. My qualms are all plot-based and story-driven. Parts I liked, parts I was a bit bored by. Perhaps the extra Rose/family bits were to bridge over new viewers. DT can stay, yes he's cute and also charismatic, quite liked the "fighting hand" bit, but in the sword fight he looked like he would topple over. Kept expecting a joke along the lines of, "couldn't this sword fight have happened 16 hours earlier? When I was 6 inches taller?" :lol: that said, I'll keep watching. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camallain Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just been looking through the BBC web pages and discovered that Doctor Who was the second most watched programme on Christmas day with 9.8 million viewers, only being beaten by Eastenders. Quite an incredible performance for a show that the BBC refused to bring back for, what was it, 16 years? Now that they have seen the light maybe they will get their collective fingers out and commision a new series of Red Dwarf as well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TV Man Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Things I liked: * DT fits the Doctor role. I think he'll be quite good. * FX were done well * The twist at the end with the Prime Mister was good * The humans on the roofs was a nice twist Things I didn't like: * The aliens just didn't seem threatening to me. They looked like Star Trek outcasts. :cyclops: * I hope that we have stories that go more than one episode. The one episode thing is so 90's (e.g. Lost, BSG have a more modern episodic style). Hopefully there will be a story arc this season. * Mickey. Either get in the TARDIS or shut up already. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypha01 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I agree, the one episode thing is VERY 90's and outdated now, BSG and Lost are definitly the way shows will be going from now on, and Invasion is doing it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Enigma Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I really like how everyone acted towards the Doctor's regeneration. They're all like who the hell is this guy? Doctor Who 2005/6 has multiple part story arcs, but I miss the epic story arks of old too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenriswolf Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Those episode arcs are a casualty of the modern society, most people want 'junk food' style TV that they can plug into, brainburn to and then switch over to do the same with another program. They get twitchy if they have to follow a story across more than two episodes. I remember being glued to the TV every Saturday when they showed Curse of Fenric. Cliffhanger multi-part eps were the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob43434 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I enioyed how the classic sereis would often link several serials togeather. And how the end of last episode was always the start up for the next. (Back in the Hartnell Days). A good example would have to be the master arc in the pertwee area. When he first came in, he was in almost every episode. And it was always carrying on from the last. What I would love is something in the way of Babylon 5. Each episode connected.

Hrimmer Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Then you had mega arcs like the "key To Time" storyline. I imagine that they want to build a fanbase up and hopefully then we will se a larger story arc. (My vote is for saving the Timelords) Those episode arcs are a casualty of the modern society, most people want 'junk food' style TV that they can plug into, brainburn to and then switch over to do the same with another program.

Bob43434 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yeah there was the Key to time and Trial of a time lord. THe arcs that took the whole season. THen mini Arcs like E-Space trilogy. And then you have the series arcs. Like the Doctor, how they devloped his background and Gallifrey over the course of the series. I love arcs. It makes it worth tuning in each week.

gathererhade Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 My vote is for saving the Timelords Personally I thought killing them off was one of the better plot points for the series as a whole. There's something reassuring that they aren't there, ready to be used as a crutch or cop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
