The siren section reminds me of Russolo's shows w/ intonarumori or some of Satie's later more radical pieces...

Hi there. Ah, this was once my favorite show. It ran from 1963 to 1989, then in 1996, then from 2005 to the present. Too bad it's currently being burnt to the ground by a terrible writer/showrunner, but it'll recover someday....

@Ike: I agree: The last two Drs. and cast were great actors, but, the showrunner/writers have made just above average.

For some reason I want to say one of our voices here is actually DD's, if only bc it sounds like her in that one film of her demo'ing her gear.

David, i love that you're playing her stuff (so welcome today)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm
Ike:

@NGH, I'd say Tom Baker's first three years (seasons 12-14, so 1975-77 or so) are the best of the classic era, when there was a producer who kept it gothic and creepy, and usually had enough restraint not to blow through the tiny effects budget in absurd ways. I think a lot of those 70s eps are free on Dailymotion (shhhh).

A little dark, but brilliant. There are 5 or 6 other sections. All amazing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:44pm
Ike:

@NGH@6:38, Peter Capaldi had some great ones. It was very very inconsistent, but that showrunner, Moffat, at least *tried* to knock it out of the park, and sometimes succeeded. The current showrunner is just so incredibly boring and flat. The characters are complete cardboard. The Doctor is barely a presence. That poor lady deserves a chance to show her stuff. She's getting nothing.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:50pm
Ike:

For those who have never seen Doctor Who, check out the Tom Baker serial "The Ark in Space" from 1975. The show had a miserably tiny special effects budget, so they make creative use of bubble wrap painted green in that one. It actually kinda works. Might be on Dailymotion.
