Anyone else heard the rumour that Nicky Wire is set to write an episode of Doctor Who? Not sure if banana suits will be involved.

"I’ve been trying to write a script for Doctor Who called 'Do Not Go Gently', Wire writes on the Manics' website. "The idea is centred around Dylan Thomas's last days in New York. Of course it's going to have a massive f**king monster in it too."

No-one's really matched Delia Derbyshire for eerie, spectral whooshing have they?

That cheesy Rory avatar is still making me laugh. I can't believe he has such a fan following.

I still think the Derbyshire version is the best TV theme ever. The Jon Pertwee one with the kazoo is such a mis-step it almost works, oddly enough.

I like the late T Baker/Davison one. Cool synth sounds.
Was that absurd Pertwee one ever even broadcast? I've never heard it before, and I've watched a fair bit of Third Doctor.

they did a delaware version in '73 or so that never(?) got broadcast but turned up on the recent Dr Who At The BBC cds (vol 1) - delia using a synth rather than the tapes of the original. starts at 1.06 in the video above.
the analogue effects in that video > the digital versions. baker and davidson seem very dated whereas the earlier ones somehow don't. but they do pick up again afterwards

It's the asthmatic wheezing in the original that I love the most. Also loving how in that video the Peter Howells and Dominic Glynn arrangements (second Tom clip, for Season 18 and second Colin, for Season 23) function as Westlife style key changes.

Gosh, that McGann one was so jarringly awful that it made Murray Gold sound good. (Unless it was Murray Gold, obv. Failing to find out on the interwebs. I'm sure there isn't a Doctor Who FACT that is not on the internet 1000x over and it's just my searching skills lacking, though.)

The fez worn in The Big Bang appears to be lacking a tassel, which is often associated with the hat.

I kinda thought the 12 regenerations thing was gone w/ the Matrix, too...? Or, I figured it had been "reset" in the last season finale, as the Doctor is a newly regenerated creation out of Pond's memory

Ditto. And if not, they'd just say, 'With all the other Time Lords gone, all the regenration energy of Gallifrey ended up in the Doctor, so he'll last forever,' and quietly move along.

Meh, this doesn't bother me at all. It was inevitable that the rule of 12 would be done away with, and I'd rather the main show wasn't clogged up with nerdy retconning.

And it's not as though other characters in the past weren't doing this. The Master has been given a new set of regenerations once or twice, plus was completely resurrected by the Time Lords. But I will try to stop being a nerd and explaining this.
― buildings with goats on the roof (James Morrison), Wednesday, 13 October 2010 02:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Though the 13th Doctor searching for a way to extend his regenerations could've been quite a cool overarching plot for a season.
