And yes, @MonochromeDimension, love that fabulous theme. There was some discussion about it earlier in the thread, as I recall. Really magical.

@MonochromeDimension

As promised, two tracks of 17th century English music. (Another time, so as not to swamp the thread and bore everyone, I will share some lovely Italian and French music.) Hope you enjoy! First, a very famous lute song by John Dowland, as sung by the amazing countertenor Andreas…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension  I love a bit of Holst! And it’s even Who-related, being about space.  🙂  @FaeGrl  This link should work for you. There are a bunch of versions on YouTube, and I picked this one by the Chicago Symphony, because my husband, a trombone player, always used to talk about American-style vs. European-style brass sound (now is tha…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension     Love the sound effects! Good point about that original TARDIS sound, someone with a better memory than mine will have to tell us whether it was ever used again. The Dalek sound is great, so atmospheric. As a fan of the Big Finish audios, I can tell you that it really adds a lot to the audio landscape when you can only hea…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – Oh, my gosh! I love the “Doomsday Theme”! Although, I can listen to that one much anymore, because when I lost my “companion” I would listen to that track over and over for months at a time, lamenting in the dark. Yes, I’m a dramatic little weirdo! 😉

I would have liked to check out the other… sadly, it’s “unavailable to…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip – Oh, what an interesting difference! First of all, I want to express that I mean no offense in throwing out the word “nerd”, as I take pride in such a title… because, lets face it, nerds have more fun than the “cool kids”. I’ve been on both sides of that in high-school… with the cool kids, it was too much wearing only “cool…[Read more]

@FaeGrl @ScaryB @bluesqueakpip @monochromedimension

It’s an odd one this, because genuinely if a female turned up to a fan gathering (common, before we discovered shouting at each other on t’internet was easier) they wouldn’t be more welcome. A bit too welcome in some cases perhaps. 😉

As @monochromedimension pointed out, it wasn’t too easy to…[Read more]

@FaeGrl @MonochromeDimension – “The Five Doctors” is one I have an especial soft spot for.  Being born in 1970 I was too young to appreciate the Second and Third Doctors in their own eras and that was my first introduction to them both.  They even (Troughton especially) stopped me missing the Fourth, and before broadcast I wouldn’t have thought t…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – Oh, oh, oh! I almost missed your post about the cosplay pic! You look very nice and the hat and sweater is awesome! 😀

I love Ainley as The Master as well. Also the AG one, both are nice and evil. 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – I’ve just finished the special of “The Five Doctors” and enjoyed it much! I nearly choked on my “pocky” when the Third Doctor described the Fourth as “teeth and curls”. Hilarious! And I was happy to see The Master. Besides the Dalek, The Master is one of my favorite villains. Now, back to the Seventh Doctor I shall go. 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – No and thanks for reminding me of that one! I swear, my mind is wibby wobbly timey wimey stuff, gobbledygook , and all over the place. I’d lose my head, if it wasn’t attached. LOL The best part is, on the weekends I can focus better and do the things I meant to do. I’m looking at the start up screen of the Five Doctors now,…[Read more]

@Whisht – Have a great trip and happy holiday! 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – Yes! I love that one “I’m The Doctor” and had explained last week to someone on here that it’s my ring tone for my phone.  I love the soundtrack for the series and admire the BBC Symphony Orchestra!

My other favorite is, “The Doctor’s Theme”:

I can never keep up with the discussions on this thread. I sleep and when I wake up, I find that it has exploded into way complex topics and then my eyes go swirly trying to take in everyone’s clever deductions and conclusions. Oh, well… now, to reply to the direct tags towards me. 🙂

@MonochromeDimension – Ah… I’m a woman with a wondering…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – I think Colin Baker has turned in some very good performances. In fact, he could have been a terrific Master.

I just think he was woefully miscast as the Doctor – something that isn’t his fault.

Of course, he was also landed with some of the worst scripts in the entire history of Doctor Who, scripts that manage to make…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension

the Seventh Doctor looks great in that coat as well;

Sylvester McCoy had the advantage of having played a number of actual clowns – appearing confident in something that made him look like a Fool was no problem. 😉

I’m sure you’ve seen him as Radagast – this is a guy who can carry off bird poop. 😀

That was the irony,…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension   Great look!  🙂  And yes, I see no reason why guys should have all the fun. I once went to a Halloween party in an overcoat, fedora, and long, long scarf. Well done!

@purofilion @MonochromeDimension   I think that I, for one, would have had less problem with Martha’s infatuation if it hadn’t followed directly after the Doctor/Rose relationship, with which I had all kinds of problems; and even had I not, it felt a little annoying that yet another young woman had fallen for the Doctor (even after he made it c…[Read more]

@purofilion @MonochromeDimension @Bluesqueakpip
My own view of Six was probably coloured by my experiences watching Five after having started the series during Four’s era. (That sentence looks goofy, sorry!) I took a long time to warm up to Five because he often felt colourless to me after Four’s distinctive, strong personality. Five did have…[Read more]

@MonochromeDimension – yup. We’ve already done a Steven Moffat Retrospective.

@MonochromeDimension

Thanks – I think Varos was always the choice for Six, and Curse of Fenric was the way out favourite for Seven. The ones where there was less of a consensus were stories for three, four and five. We can finalise those later though.
