It's hard to quote a theme song's lyrics when there are no words!

The new Dr. Who is good. Hellbob & I have acquired some copies of it in DIVX format. Since we have to watch it on our computers I started watching it last night without him.
I got through the first two episodes, and lo, it was good!

I have fond memories of watching the Tom Baker episodes in my youth. It was on in 1/2 hour installments on channel 2 (PBS) at 5:30 every weeknight. Then at some point they moved it to a different time, and started doing them as full length movies and we stopped watching for some reason. I just never got back into them. I think I should watch some of the Tom Baker eps to see if it holds up to the memories...

Oh, there are lyrics. Real, official lyrics.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who#Music

"In the early 1970s, Jon Pertwee, who had played the Third Doctor, recorded a version of the Doctor Who Theme with spoken lyrics, entitled, "Who Is The Doctor"."



It's a sad world.

There are real lyrics to the Star Trek theme too. That doesn't mean I need to acknowledge them!

(Beyond the rim of the starlight,
my love is wandring in star flight.
I know he'llfind
In star clustered reaches
Love, strange love
A starwoman teaches.

I know his journey ends never.
His Star Trek will go on forever.
But tell him while
He wanders his starry sea,
Remember,
Remember me.)

Gene Roddenberry created the lyrics after the song was written so that he could be a "co-author" to the theme. That way he got a small residual every time a Star Trek episode aired.

I remember Dr.Who! :) I never saw them as half-hour installments, only as full-length shows. Daleks and Cybermen and The Master, Oh, my!

The new Doctor Who gets better, which is a wonderful thing to be able to say.

The library has the whole set a few times over, they're easy to get and if you request them, almost all titles show up withing a week.

If you have time and inclination, poor [livejournal.com profile] vanaabegra hasn't seen The Christmas Invasion yet, could you pretty please burn me a divx so that he won't be all forlorn and I won't have to drive to somewhere further away than your house?
