I'll go along with Lesley's list too (though I've not watched House, I think it looks good). Not keen on ER though (sorry).

Love the latest set of BBC "glossy" dramas though: Hotel Babylon, Spooks, Hustle and Life on Mars. They all manage to avoid being too formulaic. I ought to add the new Doctor Who to that list, but that one goes without saying! :)

Who, Dwarf, and Wars

Postby Tammy Downsworth » Wed 26 Apr 2006 12:14 pm

I suppose that since I've been to Dr Who conventions, Star Wars marathons (film and video/dvd) and Red Dwarf used to be filmed up here and so sought out the actors in various guises (Rob Llewelyn/Kryton is an excellent author and commedian) that makes me an addict, oh and the hubby's a trekky who speaks Klingon (shouldn't that be Q'lingon) oh and my daughter's called Holly! spose would have been more obvious had she been a boy.

In terms of format's its got to be the ultimate flexibility of DW that does it, and I have to admit to bobbing my head back and forth in time to the title music, kidlike I know, but I've tried watching without it just isn't the same!

Hi Tammy...

Hope Manchester is still the same old place I remember!

Actually, you are spot on about the music. The DW signature tune is nothing short of brilliant considering how it was made. It was a completely electronic creation which has stood the test of time. For those who are interested in how it was done way back in the early '60's, check this link out:

Good stuff.

I have audio documentary about Delia Derbyshire (the genius who took the score and turned it into music) that was on the radio some time ago, if anyone is interested drop me a line.

Hi All,

Due to technical problems, hubby's been playing silly b*****'s with the computer again!! (he might know what he's doing but it's still a pain) I haven't been able to log on till now but I just wanted to say I like Hustle and also New Tricks. A favourite from times past was Poldark, Robin Ellis can have the top off my walnut whip anytime but not my last Rolo!

Live long and Prosper.
