Doctor Who Themes - Part Two

I am covering the evolution of the Doctor Who Theme from the 5th Doctor through the 7th Doctor. These are known as the Peter Howell Theme (5th Doctor), Dominic Glynn Theme (Trial of a Time Lord) and Keff McCulloch Theme (7th Doctor).
Also please visit Mark Ayres website for more information on the History of the Doctor Who Theme

We also have a review of "The Adventuress of Henrietta Street" by Asa Swain.

You also get to "hear" my new Talking TARDIS Mug in action.

I'll cover the 8th, 9th and 10th Doctor Themes on the next Whocast!

Enjoy!

Whocast #39 - 01.14.06

I was going to be a show about the musical scores for the show...BUT GUESS WHAT!!! WE GET TO SEE DOCTOR WHO IN THE GOOD OLD U.S.of A. YEEHAAH!

I was doing the show on the road with a 10 minute monologue, then got the news about the new series showing up on the SciFi Network and could not let this go unmentioned.

Here are the links to the various webpages with the press release: Outpost Gallifrey, SciFi Channel, BBC News, Chicago Tribune, and even a quick blurb in the Hollywood Reporter!

We did get another "This Week in Who" by Ari B. He reviews "The Two Doctors" on DVD and "Doctor Who: The Legend Continues" - a table book.

We'll get to the themes next Whocast!

Enjoy!

In Memory of Tom Duchnowski 1951-2006

In Memory of Tom Duchnowski
April 27, 1951 - January 4, 2006

My father-in-law passed away this week from a 1 1/2 year battle with cancer. I have posted a webpage to celebrate his life and times with his granddaughter. He was a loving and hard-working man, who loved his family and friends with the same zeal that he lived his life daily. We will never forget him and will love him forever.

Happy Holidays!

Dani and I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Safe and Prosperous New Year!

Enjoy!
