Murray's really good acknowledging the fans. I had my mom cancel my order and when she asked why (since I'd been talking non stop about the damn album lol) I explained about the glitch. There's just tons of gorgeous music in this disc, this is way more satisfactory than the Specials soundtrack was.

I knew he loved his fans and he wouldnt let us down, what a guy Thanks Mr Gold you are Gold!! He also made the comment that he didnt know about it so it was probably good we let him know.
and lets not discount the Specials cds I really love them too all of Murrays music is the Best IMHO.

Good to know that he's responding. Now we just need to wait and see what happens.

Hi, could the "repaired" track be uploaded again? IE cannot display the Mirrorcreator page! Thank you.

OK, scrub my last request - its working fine now. Thank you![COLOR="Silver"]

Mr. Gold should change his name to Mr. Platinum... LOL. Its great that he listens to fans. And i wonder... what does he mean with "bonus"? ;) A couple more extra tracks, perhaps?! Result!!

My guess will be he will have the cd repressed with some bonus tracks , possibly the ones only available on itunes, I wouldnt mind a track or two more from the weeping angels episodes.
ie the music playing when he is saying good-bye to River Song.

I noticed A River of TEars doesn't have the piano part used at the end of The Big Bang... >_<

I e-mailed Silva too, asking if a fixed CD version is possible, explaining them that I Am the Doctor is one of the most wanted tracks. And good to know Murray is really Gold :P

hes on twitter if you want to chat with him.

Just back from London, so not sure if anyone has mentioned this: Forbidden Planet in London already has it on sale for �12.99, in case anyone can't wait for their physical copy next week.

Well with the glitch problem on the I am the Doctor cue they may wait .

Yeah, had I known the glitch was definitely a master fault, I'd have waited, but it was a spur of the moment thing (I'd gone to London for other things) and found time to pop into FP and there it was and in a moment of hope over experience I grabbed and got straight to the till before anyone had a chance to change their mind and say it should not be on sale yet. Then I got back, read some of the posts and thought I tell everyone and they could make up their own minds as to whether or not to get it.

Im not sure what the laws are but I know here in the US cds cant be put out until the day they are supposed to be released but some record stores do what they want, and no one seems to care so why not.

I posted the track error on Silva Screen's Facebook page, so hopefully the bombardment helping light a fire.


Meanwhile this is an exceptional score...brilliant stuff aside from the one glitch...I'm loving all of the Amy stuff particularly "The Life and Death of Amy Pond", "Amy in the Tardis", "Fish Custard", "Amy's Theme", "Cab for Amy Pond", "Can I Come With You"...."The Battle in the Sky" reminds me a bit of the "Stargate SG-1" theme.

While we're waiting for the official fixed "I Am the Doctor", the other cues that make heavy use of the Doctor's action theme motif are worth filling time with. I just can't stop listening to "Words Win Wars" and "A Useful Striker".

Let's not be calling Murray Gold a God just yet. All he's done is say "I'll look into it" which as far as I'm concerned, is weasel speak for "F@@@ off, I'm not interested."

This nonsense about the error being "post master" (more weasel speak; it means "not my fault, guv") is hilarious. What is there post master? A master is a master. The pressing plant make an exact copy of the master.

A cockup "Post mastering" whatever that's supposed to mean, does not make cue edits magically disappear and regress back to earlier versions of themselves.

Incidentallty, am I the only person who thinks the so-called Doctor's Theme is one of the weakest parts of the whole score? The real star of the show is Amy's theme. "I Am The Doctor" is great from 0:50 to 1:10 and not too bad from 2:52 to 3:40 but apart from that it's repetitive banging noise...

My god tango do you just keep getting up on the wrong side of the bed ;) and the I am the Doctor theme is catchy , I just love it!!

and I do thank you for fixing it even if our Mr Gold is a no show. I thought my wife's brother was the grump master ;)

Removed. Double Post.

My only issue with "I Am The Doctor" is one of expectations. I had assumed that all the variations of it that sounded more or less similarly arranged were going to make it into one track. Basically, I expected "I Am The Doctor", "The Sun's Gone Wibbly", and the bit that played at the end of The Big Bang's recap of The Pandorica Opens to all be one track. As it is, "I Am The Doctor" comes off as a little less engaging a listen than, say, "All The Strange, Strange Creatures" for, as you said, being a little repetitive at times. That said, I still love what it is enormously.

The tune I'm completely in love with is "The Mad Man With A Box" and "Sad Man"'s variation on it. Such a magical theme that does for 11 what "The Doctor's Theme" did for 9 and 10. While their theme was more sad, brooding, and mysterious, "Mad Man" has this fairy tale quality that I think fits perfectly with Moffat's interpretation of the series.

I repeat; manufacturing problems do not make cue edits magically disappear and regress back to earlier versions of themselves. ;)


My god tango do you just keep getting up on the wrong side of the bed

To be honest, yes... I'm sorry, I don't mean to be such a misery... I'm actually quite a happy person, really... though you'd never know it.


I am the Doctor theme is catchy , I just love it!!

You love everything. Can you send over a bit of your good cheer and happiness? I'm running a bit low. ;)


I thought my wife's brother was the grump master

*sighs sadly*

I know I'm not exactly being upbeat and joyous... but I like to think that I am at least being realistic and fair. I shall go to bed now. My bed is hard against the wall on the right hand side... perhaps I should turn it around and get out on the other side tomorrow. ;)

Your ok with me tango you know that, why I put the smilies. I really dont expect much to happen but you never know, have a good evening my friend.
I have my grumpy side too ask the wife hehe.

Tango and I don't see eye-to-eye when it comes to percussion in Murray's Doctor Who work, but he's alright by me, grumpy mood and all. :D

Now if you'll excuse me, I'mma go listen to trailer music: the epitome of blaring percussion and mind-numbing clipping.

I've been a bit behind in watching Dr Who of late - I still have the final 2 episodes of series 5 to watch, plus all the 2009 specials (except The End of Time, which was brilliant), so I'm yet to download these albums. However, I remember downloading the complete soundtrack of The 11th Hour (whose it was I can't remember, but kudos to whoever made it!), and "I Am The Doctor" was my favourite motif from that soundtrack. For me, as a trumpet player, the brass riffs towards the end really make the track. Also, I like the percussive stuff too :P It adds depth. :)

From what I see on Murray's twitter, he seems a little hacked off, firstly that it's been leaked, and also that we're complaining about a tiny error. (and he has said this to various people in different ways)
"Like one little *plip* in 140 minutes...at the end of one track on the S5..." or "t'is but a wee imperfection in a great Ottawan lake of music tracks..."

Is it just me getting this bad tone? :)

Is it just me getting this bad tone? :)I don't know. I think the key thing is that he's responding to people who are asking how bad the problem is, and what he's saying is actually true - it is just a couple of seconds in a really great album. (Utterly unacceptable from Silva Screen, but still...) To me it looks more like he's in damage control - perhaps he's worried that the error may cause lower sales (which is fair - I and others in this thread have cancelled our preorders until we see what happens), which may cause Silva Screen to decide against any future 2-disc releases (which none of us want). So what he's saying is "the problem will be fixed in some way, and in the meantime don't let the problem stop you from buying a great album."

I just think Murray is in an awkward position at the moment, and I don't know that it's entirely fair to be reading such his posts so negatively. Certainly the interpretation you offered is possible, but there are other, more charitable views to take of his comments.

He appears to be adopting the Varese attitude! Well, there goes my respect for Murray Gold.

Yes, it is a minor problem but that is not the point - when one is paying money for a product, one has the right to expect it to be as close to perfect as humanly possible. That means that the humans who created it should have put in the necessary effort and processes to ensure that was the case. Essentially Mr Gold is saying "I should work less hard, and you should pay the same amount of money - shut up moaning and be happy with what you've got!" - and with that attitude I fully and immediately withdraw my support for the man, and for his music.

As for getting annoyed at the "leak"... if I go into Forbidden Planet and buy the CD, I am not guilty. If I happen to be Australian and I buy the download, I am not guilty. If he's that pent up about somebody getting the album five whole days before the completely abritrarily set release date, he should direct his anger towards the record companies and retailers who allowed that to happen...

...and concentrate on the issue at hand which is that a distinctly shoddy product has been put out.

If the CD were free, we would have no right to complain. It's not. It costs money. We are customers. Fix it, Mr Gold - or direct us to somebody who can. Save the attitude for those who aren't paying your salary!

He may indeed be between a rock and a hard place if Silva doesnt want to repress it there isnt much he can do, I think your a little harsh tango, sorry, he may still do something , I still believe he has our best interest at heart. Its actaully Silva thats at fault here, mostly.
He can scream at Silva all he wants to and they can say , fine find another distributer.
Its not like Varese where Townson actually is the head of the company and has more to do with a repressing issue.
I mean Im upset about it too but we may have what we have so its either dont buy it and have nothing or buy it and deal with it.

I dont think he gives a crap about it leaking personally. Hes been paid so what does he care.

If that's the case he should say so and clarify his position, rather than making glib "Stop complaining, it's only a little error!" posts on Twitter that could be readily interpreted as "Who gives a toss, I got paid, buy the CD and be quiet." ;)

"This is a silly minor problem; why are people complaining about that?" = no respect for Murray.

"God, what a cock up... I understand why you're annoyed - this is unforgiveable. Watch this space." = Lots of respect for Murray.

It's all in the tone.

As for Silva telling Murray to take a running jump, they wouldn't do that... these Who CDs are what keep Silva in business. As long as they keep doing these, they know they have at least one guaranteed SMASH HIT every single year... which is more than most soundtrack labels can say... :)

well he did apologize , you know me tango Im going to find a bright side somewhere :) lets move on , Ill probably order it again, what the hey.
He can offer us some more bonus cues on his website or something, but since I have the music now Ill wait until it gets here in the US.
I bought the Tadlow Conan so Im out of money again :) not like I had it in the first place just some good puppy dog faces to the wife , and some chocolate.

Think what you want too folks , I think we got what we got. Now back too looking forward to my Conan in the mail soon.

I just noticed this , see how much I use twitter, in my messages part Silva has been intouch with me , for what its worth, Ill keep us posted.

Some small labels get round problems like this by offering a corrected track as a bonus on a subsequent release.

Just received this email from Silva about the soundtrack:

Hello Matt,

Thank you for contacting us. You are indeed correct - there is a dropout on this track.

The CD is being repressed with the amended track and this will be available soon although I don't have a date as yet. We are working to get new stock to our distributors as soon as possible. The iTunes store will also be supplied with the corrected version as soon as possible.

We are checking with our distributor to see what has been delivered to retailers. Can you let me know who you have placed your order with. In any event, we will make sure that you get a corrected copy of the CD as soon as possible.

Regards,
David.

Well, what more could we ask for? A prompt response with exactly what we all wanted in it!

I pretty much got the same response from twitter chatting with them.

Woohoo! Great response from the man! I reckon this may even cheer tango up :P

I see no one got my joke.

THAT is more like it.

I suppose it's beyond the realms that they'll take this opportunity to master the album properly this time... or will we just have to be satisfied with getting this error sorted in I Am The Doctor? ;)

Admiral: Tee hee. ;)

Probably just the fixed track Im sure but thats at least better than we thought right?

I prefer to think of it as the only possible response Silva could've given. Their cockup, their responsibility.

I'm very pleased that it's being fixed, but when all is said and done, it's the least they could've done. :)

I think just of ha has when it gets to the itunes here in the US Ill just download the one track to see, and maybe someone in the UK can do the same.

I see no one got my joke.

We got it, we just chose to do nothing with once we had it.

So am I the only one who got the CD delivered (and arrived at) home? I have the CD and indeed the track error is there. I've already e-mailed them, and I'll see what can be done about replacing that disc.

Well, I got another e-mail from them earlier and they've offered to exchange my CD on Monday with a corrected version. Have to say, hats off to them - they might not have realized the mistake but they're really doing everything they can to try and sort the problem out as quickly as possible.

So am I the only one who got the CD delivered (and arrived at) home?

Early next week we'll find out whether hmv received faulty stock. I preordered mine from them, and they sent an email telling me they'd shipped it just before 9am this morning. I doubt Silva heard about the error, repressed the discs and replaced them in that short a time, so I'm fully expecting to get a glitched disc in my letterbox.

Well, I ordered from Silva themselves.

Fantastic news about the re-press. I wonder if the bonus Murray mentioned will be on the disc, or if it'll be a download?

I also wonder how those of us who are getting the album through retailers like Amazon UK can go about getting a corrected copy of the album? Unless Silva has put a freeze on Amazon shipping it until the re-press has been sent out, I guess I'll have to e-mail the chaps at Silva Screen about it after I get my disc in.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Silva's website is showing the album to be out of stock -- I don't recall that ever happening with the previous albums. Do you suppose it's been pulled until the repress can be sorted out?

I've just cancelled by order with Amazon UK as they have made no attempt to proceed with the order.

It i am due to get it on the day or release then I would be expecting the order to have at least been paid for by now, but no.

So I'm going to wait another week or 2 then order, then at least i might not get a bad copy.

Ehm... Amazon will deliver by the date told, and until the package has been delivered, they won't charge.

Also, my copy has arrived early because I ordered from Silva Screen's website. And then again I'll have to e-mail them to see if they can give me a fixed copy of CD1...

does anyone know if the US itunes is going to release the Specials soundtrack?

because they have not put it up for pre-order yet.

It comes out tuesday and i want to know if they are going to release it.

It interesting that the Silva site says the cd is out of stock but you can still get it through itunes, so I wonder if it is fixed at itunes now, Ill wait until Im pretty sure amazon UK will send a good one before I make my preorder again.

however it is up for preorder at amazon downloads

Mine is yet to arrive but has been distributed yesterday.

This isn't the first time there's been errors the CD copy, or even the digital copy. The Series 3 soundtrack had level issues and distorted, and Silva basically emailed purchasers a zip file with corrected tracks inside. No major loss.

Just informed Silva about the distortion at the end of 'The Silurians'. Hopefully they'll fix that too...

Odd question. Does anybody have a line on the version of the Doctor Who theme by Andreas Williamson used in the Stripped For Action series of documentaries about the history of Doctor Who comics on the DVDs?

Totally slipped my mind, but Thanks enormously unto Ye for the Specials and Series Five scores!

Would anyone happen to know the lyrics for "The World Waits" on the Series 4 Specials Soundtrack?
It's hidden at the end of that track, a terrific piece of music, I say.

Is the one that says something like "Vale Vale Tempus" or the likes? I don't think official lyrics exist anywhere... You can always ask Murray Gold via twitter.

Also, can someone tell me where the distortion at the end of "The Silurians" exactly is? because I haven't found any.

Im asking Murray Gold via twitter about the lyrics, and I didnt hear any distortion either from The Silurians cue.

I heard no distortion. Aside from the obvious glitch in I Am The Doctor, this album is fine enough. I am sure there are those who will be able to disect it and tear it apart, but I think it's brilliant.

Call it mass hysteria , now everyone is gonna hear things that are not there all over the score ;)

I just e-mailed SIlva about getting a replacement. From what I've read pon their Facebook page, in 2 weeks after answering you should recieve one.

I just asked via Twitter if they know when the disc will be corrected at Amazon UK so I can place my order again.

Got a dispatch e-mail from Amazon just now. The only unfortunate thing is that the arrival estimate has changed several times, first to November 15th, and now to November 29th.

As far as other issues on the disc are concerned, well, this one clearly has some of the same issues as previous releases -- clipping, some distortion, and digital artifacts -- but they're largely the sort of things the average listener won't perceive (these sorts of issues turn up on a lot of modern albums, particularly clipping. A lot of engineers are going mad with the volume recently.)

Yea it seems that distortions and the like are very prevalent these days and we just have to deal with it. People don't listen to music like we do , like you said the average listener doesnt pick these things up so that makes us even more in the minority.
If your 1 in a 1000 people complaining how much attention do you think you would get :)

I remember even back in the LP days taking The Empire Strikes Back , Back several times because of distorted sound and skip noises until finally the record store said in not so few words , give it up ding dong live with it.

I didn't hear a distortion on the "Silurians" track. Everything is fine for me as well except for "I Am the Doctor" and really it could have been a worse glitch. It's something that I personally don't consider a big deal.

I dont know Im thinking now maybe we all should have just kept our mouths shut and dealt with it, probably now they will fix that track and we will get a glitch on a different one because of fixing that one, for some reason the I cant win scenario is coming to mind.
We the consumer will always loose ;)

Sorry never mind my rant , its good they are willing to fix the problem instead of the Varese Sarabande fix which is ignore it and maybe it will go away.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the glitch isn't a big deal, it's just for me personally I don't care about it. If it was somewhere near the beginning or the middle of the track and disrupted a large portion of the song then maybe it would bug me, but it's at the end and only a few seconds so I don't consider it a big deal.

The sort of distortion casual listeners don't notice don't bother me, i'm one of them. But that flaw in "I Am The Doctor" is different for 2 main reasons:
1- It happens in perhaps the most anticipated, and therefore, scrutinized track of the Album;
2- It's a massive blunder, one that anyone can imediatly spot.
Fortunately, despite this "tinsy snafu", the album has lived up to my expectations. Wonderful all the way.

Oh yea dont get me wrong , forget what I said, hehe, they should fix the problem , just thinking out loud I guess.
I just hope fixing this problem wont spawn another, remember that dude Murphy.

My CD just arrived, and unsurprisingly SS couldn't fix it in time. Note to everyone who preordered through hmv: your disc is glitched. Personally, I'm with Admiral_Young, while it is surprising no less than three Album Masterers all missed the fault, I prefer the rendition of IatD at the end of Amy in the TARDIS anyway, so I'm not too fussed.

Yep I agree "I Am The Doctor" is my favorite track and the one song that I was anticipating hearing to...again though since it's near the conclusion of the song and isn't really at a crucial point it doesn't bug me and I wouldn't consider myself to a casual listener. Maybe i just don't feel like causing such an uproar about it lol.

Anyone else finding "The Time of Angels" strangely addicting? Sure, it's a bit less about any particular melody and more about the atmosphere it creates, but the sudden silences and string stings combined with the rampant percussion just have me going back for more every time I hear it!

"The Time of Angels" makes me go nervous. Not sure why xD

I enjoy Murray's "terror music" in general, I wish there was more of it across the albums (a double disc set for series 4 would have been nice, it would have meant more music from Midnight). I really enjoy The Time of Angels, but when it comes to the terror music, I still greatly prefer Of Water Borne. The Time of Angels actually sounds like it has bits of score for Midnight incorporated into it with new elements added.

Agree too, I remember someone mentioning or hoping the Doctor Theme was at the end of Amy in the TARDIS , then while listening to the cue when it got to that theme all I said was , WOW!

and I agree that Yes that is the Best rendition of the Doctors Theme, IMHO of course.

I was happy that the version of I Am the Doctor at the end of Amy in the TARDIS is also the one used earlier in the episode when the Doctor goes to face the Atraxi on top of the building (and while he's stripping in front of Amy). It's just a shame that none of the tracks seem to feature the bit where the Atraxi are looking through the monsters that attacked Earth and the previous Doctors. That darker version of I Am the Doctor is used prominently in trailers and in episodes, but isn't on the soundtrack.

Yea I loved that too, when he was telling the Atraxi in not so few words , you F with my planet You F with me and you dont want to do that.

Actually, ToA didn't really affect me, but my God man, the dissonant brass (at least I think it's brass) and reversed notes in This Is The Dream is unbelievably creepy

So, the official release date is tomorrow, but since you people are talking about the tracks, I take it you already downloaded it somewhere. Could you share a link please? I love Murray's work.

Season 5 was posted in this thread just a page or two back. Porko rosso also posted it, and both have their own dedicated posts in the dl section.

I wonder how many people won't get their copies now because of this... People running down to HMV tomorrow hoping to get their hands on this album, and seeing "RELEASE DELAYED" instead of a big stack of shiny new CDs...

*grins*

You can download season 5 Doctor Who at amazon UK , anyone want to spend a dollar or so and see if the track is fixed, I would but they dont like my money.

Well, I know I am going to wait til it gets fixed. I spent the money on the new Conan instead for now. It pains me, I was torn, but i figured why buy a disc I know has an obvious flaw, especially when I hear new ones may ship?

Same here I just wondered if someone in the UK could at least download the one track to see if the thing is fixed , Amazon UK wont allow me to download tracks.

I wouldn't bet on it being fixed yet. I bet it'll be a while.

I wouldn't bet on it being fixed yet. I bet it'll be a while.

Same here but I bet its allot easier to fix a download than the cd, and the Silva site does say the cd is on hold but its available at the itunesUK store.
Like I said if I could get around it Ide download the track but the site wont let me.

I just heard from Silva via twitter and they say new stock in 2 weeks.

I would guess at least another month before this is fixed. North America might finally get our release date before the UK album gets fixed lol.

Same here I just wondered if someone in the UK could at least download the one track to see if the thing is fixed , Amazon UK wont allow me to download tracks.

I got the track in the AU iTunes using the bleeping card and... lo and behold, it's fixed. Kudos to Tangotreats because the fix he did a few days ago was spot on. So at least from the digital standpoint it seems to be all good. At least in the australian store.

And now a question. Has anyone got the digital release booklet or is willing to make a scan of the fisical booklet? My dylema is this. I have the Australian card and was going to buy the score there but the AU iTunes store doesn't have the digital booklet. And i have no budget to buy it at another iTunes right now. Pease, help little me. :)

I got the track in the AU iTunes using the bleeping card and... lo and behold, it's fixed. Kudos to Tangotreats because the fix he did a few days ago was spot on. So at least from the digital standpoint it seems to be all good. At least in the australian store.

And now a question. Has anyone got the digital release booklet or is willing to make a scan of the fisical booklet? My dylema is this. I have the Australian card and was going to buy the score there but the AU iTunes store doesn't have the digital booklet. And i have no budget to buy it at another iTunes right now. Pease, help little me. :)

I may have to somewhere , let me look, and Im glad its fixed on itunes. Gives me hope :) Guess not I may be thinking of something else, only problem you have to download the whole thing to get the digital book, its up on the UK itunes as well.

I wasn't planning on buying Season 5 or the Specials CDs until at least Christmas, and I imagine a lot of other people are too, so I don't think the wait for the fixed disc throws too big a monkeywrench (or sonic screwdriver) into Silva's plans for the fiscal quarter.

Silva just confirmed to me that the itunes one is indeed fixed but could not confirm about amazon. Ide love to hear the fixed product but macdawson said that tango had it dead on. Well done tango.

If you want the booklet, yes, you have to buy the whole album, wich wouldn't be a problem. The problem is the australian iTunes doesn't have the booklet at all.

As for the track i can PM it to you tonight, when i get home. But indeed, if Tango's version is off, i haven't spot it. :)

Thats cool, thanks, and Im the same way I have the bonus tracks now so why download it and I do plan on buying the cd whenever. I have before downloaded things from itunes and bought the cd later but I just dont have the money to do that now, all for a stupid book, geesh. and aside from the fact that itunes UK wont let me download anything, but I did notice something interesting, amazon UK will let me order a cd but wont let me download it, because I tried to download that track and they said , not in your area.

I still wonder why a NA release date hasn't been given yet for this.

Thanks I believe tango was spot on here very nice.

LOL, I was spot on! So glad they sorted it; thank you Silva Screen for doing the right thing. We can all pat ourselves on the back today for we made a real, tangible contribution to the artform we love. Our research and efforts and teamwork paid off.

Excellent work indeed.

My eyes got wide when I saw Silva saying they will fix it, good show for their team. Gives me some hope. Now only if we can do the same with Varese ;)

Forget Varese - the next crusade shall be Tadlow...! ;)

I really like you and SirusJr and if you say its a problem then weither I hear it or not doesnt matter , you do and its a concern of yours, Fitzgerald wont acknowledge it and thats like Townson almost. Hey it gives us something to do. ;) Im done with it at least for now , time to move on :)

Im just as happy or happier that they got the Series 5 Doctor Who cd sorted out.

Now lets go see what Intrada has for us this week, Geesh, money I dont have :(

ahhhh.....pirated digi copy of season 5 fixed...planets aligning...yep, I'm happy. Imma still gonna wait a while before buying the hard copy though....

@Mac - somewhere in this thread a kind person uploaded the booklet seperately from the score, I can re-upload if you cannt locate it.

If it's here i can't find it. The only thing i saw posted was a HQ jpeg of the front cover. If it's not too much trouble, could you re-up' it? Thanks in advance. :)

Same here I have the bonus tracks now and in good quality so Ill wait for the cd. Im very happy Silva fessed up to it, Silva you Rock for this!

My mistake, It was from the specials not season 5, i will look around and see if i can locate it for us

I think what he meant was grabbing all the different pieces and versions of "I Am The Doctor" and making a big suite. Been thinking of doing that but not much time. And i think such a task should be done by someone more skilled ;) Pitty Tangotreats doesn't really like that track :D (hint)

And also... booklet? Anyone?...

thanks mac thats what I meant, maybe Ill get it a try anyway as far as the book is concerned most folks I think are doing the same thing , downloading the bonus tracks and then buying the cd, Ill keep looking.

Yeah, I would be interesting in the booklet as well!

Alright everybody, it was a long time coming...but the first post updates have begun! The first 3 Doctors now have been added to the first post. Big thanks goes to Recons who provided me with a great Excel list of everything that is known about the soundtracks of every episode. For the opening post I only removed all the 'not known to have a soundtrack' or else the list will grow way to big.

I'd give it a go. I'd rather wait for a lossless source to work from though. Once I'm certain that I'll receive a fixed copy I'll be remaking my order...

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=36DZUYC2)

Ok, there's a suite. It's not very good... at all... being that it's the first thing I've ever edited to do with music. So yeah. Should probably wait for tango.

megaupload is being a freaking pain , but I keep trying.

Also, you guys were talking about a version of "I Am The Doctor" that didn't make it to the CD, used in the Atraxi scene and the trailers... Before the CD was leaked on November 1st, i posted a link with a version that is pretty close to the CD version but it lacks a few layers of instruments and has little to no choir. The more i listen to it the more i think it sounds with what you want. If not, it is a different take on the track, different enough for me to have it along with the score on my playlist.

That version DOES exist, in a way. The Dr. Matt rip of The 11yh hour--I think its his--has a 10 minute track called I'm the Doctor. It even has the Atraxi voices, and scanner sounds from that scene. So, if you wanna hear it, its there. I did not find it to be so terribly different that I needed to keep it.

The track i posted was tacken from youtube, don't know what source the poster used. But it has nothing to do with the rip from Eleventh Hour, i have that and this is a clean no SFX track.

I think we pretty much got it on the released cd or cds, I just got through listening to it from the Dr Matt version and youtube, and I have your version Mac on my ipod as a fan edit.

@Retconaddict2
Nice effort. Thanks. :)

Its amazing that book is know where to be found, Ide almost download it my self just to get the book but itunes UK wont let me and Im not even sure when the itunes US will get it.

Can someone contact the America itunes about the Specials Soundtrack, because The release date is wrong(it says September 20, 2001) and "The Greats of Past Time" is cut down to 2 seconds.

Silva Screen Blog: Doctor Who Series 4 - The Specials - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (http://silvascreenblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/doctor-who-series-4-specials-important.html)

Damn Moffat, these cracks are everywhere!!!

Atleast we get the replacement tracks quickly :)

You mean instead of him going "faults? What faults. You're just not listening right, dammit!!"

Exactly, sure the most preffered way is not to make any faults at all, but since thats only only human to do then this is I guess the best response to it: checking if people are right and dealing with the problem.

And very soon (later this day) I will make another update to the opening post :)

Silva Screen Blog: Doctor Who Series 4 - The Specials - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (http://silvascreenblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/doctor-who-series-4-specials-important.html)

What was the glitch on this one?

Not a clue, but then again I never noticed the other reported glitches either, I dont have the ears for such things.

I gather the track list had it at only a few seconds long...perhaps the whole track was corrupt? This is the itunes dl, not the actual disc, I think

I uploaded tangos original and its ok there, and my copy is ok on that track. So I dont believe the track ever had a glitch on it, itunes just messed it up somewhere in the process.
Nice track too btw.

And everythign up to the 8th Doctor has been updated in the first post!

I just got a response to the e-mail I sent Silva Screen last week about the Series 5 disc I ordered through Amazon UK. The e-mail says they'll be shipping corrected discs sometime in the next ten days, and the fellow asked for my address, so I guess Silva Screen is sending me a replacement direct. I replied with my address, thanked the guy, and asked if I ought to return the defective disc to Amazon or Silva.

Nah they probably dont want the defective disc back, they will just throw it away and Im glad progress is being made.

Oh I'm afraid they do, I've clearly explained the problem to them and they're sending me another faulty one...

"Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk and for bringing this to our attention.

Please be advised, we have not received frequent report about the "Doctor Who: Series 5" CD. This is why the item is still listed on our website.

If we receive regular complaint about an item, we take it off the sell and check the entire stock we have at our Fulfilment Centre. Once the issue is resolved, we put the item for sell.

I understand that you have already contacted the manufacturer who have confirmed that there is a batch fault.

In this case, if you find the same error or any other fault with the replacement item, please let us know and we'll take further action. "

I meant to say that Silva probably doesnt want the disc back, I know how amazon works I order from them all the time and yes they do want the replacement back.

Yeah, Silva is replacing the disc that I ordered through Amazon UK -- I haven't even received the Amazon UK order yet, it's still in the post, and I haven't lodged a complaint with Amazon either -- so I wasn't sure if I'd need to send the disc back to Amazon (or Silva) or if I can just chuck it in the bin after the replacement shows up.

Having said that, I had to get a replacement for the Lexx soundtrack through Amazon after the disc I received had the wrong music pressed on it (the packaging and disc art was all correct, but there was an old Royal Albert Hall concert pressed to the disc) and they didn't make me return the faulty disc. I've actually been holding on to it because its such an odd thing to receive.

Lets us know when you get your fixed disc :)

Hi guys,
Can any one help an Aussie? I can't find anywhere to download Sarah Jane Alien Files ep 5 and 6. As they're freely available in the UK it seems no one has put them up for international viewers. Could anyone be so kind as to upload these eps for me? Would be happy to trade them for literally every Dr Who audio - I'm pretty sure I've got them all, even the spinoffs and obscurities.

Straxfann: Is that illiterate nonsense really what you received from Amazon? "We have not received frequent report"? "If we receive regular complaint"? "We take it off the sell?"

Good lord, can they not hire people who speak English?

Glad I didn't end up shipping my copy back to Amazon UK: Silva Screen is only shipping disc 1 out to those who've purchased the collection elsewhere, so if I'd sent my set back to Amazon I'd have lost my second disc.

My suggestion to anyone having trouble with Amazon UK's customer support is to e-mail Silva directly. Tell them where you ordered the set, give them your address, and they'll ship you a replacement disc 1. After you receive it, you can just chuck the original disc 1 in the bin.

Ended up doing my own lossless repair of I Am the Doctor. That ought to tide me over until the replacement disc shows up.

Woah, lot of troubles around with the repair!
I was wondering about when we could expect a FLAC version of both discs? No rush, I can wait.

Straxfann: Is that illiterate nonsense really what you received from Amazon? "We have not received frequent report"? "If we receive regular complaint"? "We take it off the sell?"

Tangotreats - Yes - a straight copy of their text, (just for once it is n't my own illiterate nonsense!)

They did promptly send me another faulty disc too. What a mess, I guess I should just go to Silva.

The Specials CD was hard to beat, but I'm thinking this is probably the best soundtrack I've got all year.

I went to Silva after buying from Amazon... another one's on the way...

Any help with those Sarah Jane Alien Files?

I hope amazon gets them and this wont be only be a Silva thing, altho Silva did say the other retailers will get them.

I guess now that both cd's are out this thread is going to taper off a bit until the Christmas Special airs lol, and then Series Six.

Ahhhh we will think of something all my Who friends are here.

amazon Uk has taken the Doctor Who Series 5 soundtrack off and says its not avalible at this time.
If this was posted before I apologize :)

From Silva Screen:

Therefore we have instantly authorised the re-pressing of the first disc and will replace any faulty disc that is or has been supplied with the soundtrack.
We expect the re-pressing to take approximately two weeks until it is received and we will dispatch the replacements on the same day, to ensure that you have your replacement disc 1 as soon as possible. To receive your replacement disc please reply to [email protected] with the following details:
-Subject: Doctor Who D1R
-Full name
-Full address
-Where you purchased your soundtrack from
We would like to apologise for the inconvenience that this has caused you and ensure that we will do all that we can to replace your faulty disc 1 as soon as possible.
I hope this helps everyone with this problem.


I would suggest that the email confirmation of purchase is pasted at the bottom of the email to prevent abuse.

Hi Exar Xan,

The list is great. It does needs a little work and some of the links posted in this thread are missing in the list. There's also some music taken from the off-airs of all stories which inevitably contain some SFX which we might consider linking to. What do you think? It's same sort of thing as already listed for Twin Dilemma or Vengeance on Varos. We might have to have a look at some of the story numbering to make it more cohesive.

I'm just recovering from an op (don't ask) so climbing up to my attic office is kept to a minimum, but I'll have a go Doctor by Doctor from next week and try to send you some updates.

R

Take it easy, recovery is more important :)

Recons: Now you are here, can you check my new first post and fill in some blanks if possible? Thanks!

I can provide MegaUpload links for a lot of the gaps, plus some things that haven't been listed yet. Give me a day or two to sort through my MU folders and I'll PM you a list of links :)

Hi,

Actually, I'm almost done with Doctors one and Two. I could use a link for "Music From The Tenth Planet" which I don't seem to be able to track down at the moment.

Thanks

Just wondering.. I'm assuming a few of u use audio recording software? If so, what dya use? :P Or if not, which do you know to be the best around? (freeware :P)

I use Adobe Audition, which is not freeware, obviously. I've heard Audacity is good freeware.

Audacity's good - it records in stereo and is easy as pie to set up :)

Thanx Recons for this information :)

And in the CD2, track "31. The Sad Man With A Box", this is not a default at 2mn57?!?

No, you're ok. I've found Tenth Planet and we have a link for Tomb. Could you PM me with what you think is missing and we'll compare notes.

Done!

And in the CD2, track "31. The Sad Man With A Box", this is not a default at 2mn57?!?

No, it's intentional. At that point in the episode, time starts going in reverse, so to accompany that they put that whooshing reverse noise over the music.

In this overhaul the soundtracks will be presented by Doctor and by episode for quick and easy searching.

If I might suggested two things:

1) State whether the soundtrack is an official (and therefore SF/X-free) release, and
2) State the name of the album on which the music appears. For example, "Castrovalva" and "Mawdryn Undead" appear on "The Corridor of Eternity" which is a DWAS release, and should be credited as such. The "San Diego ComicCon" release is ripping it off.

1. I say in every second line what the source is. It may be obvious that an official release and a isolated score are all sfx free. And quite honestly, I cannot recall any sfx in any of those soundtracks besides the episode rips of the new series. This is still a work in progress and this info needed to be added.

2. Honestly, this is the first time I hear of "The Corridor of Eternity", I figured that the individual release of these 2 came from an isolated score rip.

Seeing as most album titles are the same as the official titles I name them as thus or add the appriarate information in them, the San Diego ComicCon version is a good example of this. However, I did noticed I missed the title Black Light for the commercially releashed score of The Trial of a Timelord and Dragonfire.

Other albums that are commercially releashed are going to be added by episode title with in the second line how they were releashed and under what title as that was allways the intend.

Great minds have already thought alike!

Re: Corridor of Eternity

Comparing the old DWAS release, which i own, to the Dr Matt versions of these score, there does not seem to me to be any reason to include Corridor. There aren't any extra tracks to be gleaned and the quality of DM's releases are much higher.

R

Recons: Thanks for comparing the 2! Now I can safely ignore the Corridor of Eternity then and leave them as they are: isolated dvd scores.

One score we are short of at the moment is the score to the spin-off film Daemos Rising. If anyone has this or can provide a link, that would be great!




Thanks

R

2. Honestly, this is the first time I hear of "The Corridor of Eternity", I figured that the individual release of these 2 came from an isolated score rip.

You know, you're probably right, now that I think about it. There _was_ a release called "The Corridor of Eternity" which contained a shortened version of "Castrovalva" but there is more on the isolated score "release", to which this link is probably connected. I'm unaware that "Mawdryn Undead" has been released on DVD yet, not sure.

It has, and we have a rip of the score. Great story. I'd recommend a purchase.

Hi,

What exactly are you after. I might be able to help.

R

Mawdryn Undead was released along with DW: Terminus and DW: Enlightenment in The Black Guardian Trilogy Boxset. But I agree, it can be a bit difficult to keep track of whats out on dvd and what is not or what will never be...

Yeah, the 11th Doctor and the 10th Doctor ones contain sfx and you were right to point out that it might be needed to list that. Besides I prefer critical comments above praise because critical is in the end allways more usefull. So dont worry ;)

Sorry for the double post people, but I just want to it to be known that I finished with the first post updates for now. Considerations are taken in account, all the recently given new links from Recons and Fivefifteen are added. Truth to be told I have not gone trough all the pages to check what could be missing and the only thing I can think of are, ironically, my own links to what work I had done for the game soundtracks of City of the Daleks and Blood of the Cybermen. Honestly I am thinking of postponing this due to me being quite busy to continue with it and with most of the tracks being repeated anyway troughout the games. This could be changed at any time however cause I am toying with the idea of making the soundtrack a general album with first every track that goes with every game (Menu screen, Sneaking around, puzzle theme etc) followed by the cutscenes for each episode.

Thanks for these!

It's not the end yet. The goal is to make sure that every story (bar those that didn't have music) is represented somehow. I'm working on Doctor 3 at the moment.

R

Very much true indeed! And I think that as soon as you are trough with those updates that we arent 100% finished even then right? And what do you think of my idea for the Adventure games? Maybe we can divide work a bit wich each person tackling a game (and then only its cutscenes since I do have the general ones as good as done i think as it is)?

Unfortunately, the games will not install on either my Win XP64 main machine, or on my Mac :-( In any case, I'm not sure I have the necessary expertise. However I loved those tracks from COTD that you did and want to hear more!

"The Rescue" is missing from the download to which it's supposed to be attached.

I have downloaded it twice and "The Rescue" is not within it.

And I see the same goes for my copy....Recons, my buddy can you check for us if you have forgotten The Rescue or not?

Just a note -- there was (presumably) a fan-made first Doctor collection called, "Into the Vortex." No cover art or anything (rare, these days) but it had music from about five or six of the first Doctor serials. Obviously taken from the DVDs as there are SF/X and some dialogue in them, but, rather than done as a suite, each serial is divided into episodes, and each episode into tracks.

It so happens that I have this collection on this computer -- though I still haven't figured MegaUpload out yet.

I will just say a big thanks since i love most things Doctor Who especially Bill Hartnell here is a usefull link some of you may find interesting High Quality Audio Books: High Quality Audio Books (http://freeaudiobooks4u.blogspot.com/2008/12/1341-adams-richard-watership-down.html)

And I see the same goes for my copy....Recons, my buddy can you check for us if you have forgotten The Rescue or not?

You're right. The Rescue isn't one of the files that the original poster did. There is music in the Rescue, but I believe the music is all from already used library scores and other serials, so we haven't missed anything. I'll amend the list as I missed out The Savages the first time round, which the poster (sorry, they didn't leave a name at the original site where these were downloaded from, but credits go to them for the compilations) definitely did do.

I'm glad people are enjoying these.

And thanks to Recons we have some more tracks from the Third Doctor added, so now we can listen to more from the Pertwee era as well. Enjoy people!

Recons: There are a few notes attached to some scores, could you take a look at those also when you have the time? Thanks :)

Hey, I came across a site with at leas 30 ish Big Finish and BBC Audio stories....is there any interest in the link?

I am :)

here is the link to the thread itself..

Bolt.org (http://bolt.org/board/showthread.php?t=477831)

They also have a thread of audios from the stories themselves....

Hey guys! Got the replacement CD from Silva Screen this week. I Am the Doctor is now complete... and sounds awesome. :D

Could anyone tell me where in that list of links I can find the two bonus tracks from the Series 5 soundtrack? As a massive fan of the Doctor Who music, I like to actually buy the CDs, and not on iTunes, and I don't take kindly to the decision to make a couple of tracks exclusive to iTunes. Don't want to re-download the entire album as well - where among those links are "Emotions get the better of him" and "The impossible choice"? Thanks!

I think they were posted as a separate file, but God help us find it among the thread...

EDIT: Searched and I think there aren't any in this thread. You may want to check the thread for the Series 5 Soundtrack.

Hi,

Some info regarding the RNIB talking book of The Ultimate Evil by Wally K. Daly from Ian Turner at RNIB:


We made the recording with Wally but unfortunately the BBC gave too many restrictors on how we could market the audio book commercially for us to progress it. It was, therefore, highly unlikely that neither RNIB or the charity Wally wanted to help, Polio, would make any money from the project, in fact it would cost us a lot more than we would make. We had, therefore, no other alternative but to cancel the project.

We are waiting to hear from Wally to hear if he will allow us to add the book to the Talking Book Library - at the moment we can't. If this changes I will let you know.

If you can inform anyone who was interested in buying this audio book I would be grateful.

R

Interesting....

Also good to see again R: Hows the thing coming along that you mentioned you had problems with?

I read The Ultimate Evil years ago, and no disrespect to Wally, but the fact that it won't be available on audio isn't really that great a loss. The Nightmare Fair was the only one of the three "Missing Episode" novelizations of Colin Baker's hiatus that was worth reading, and that's probably only through the heavy tinting by nostalgia.

Interesting....

Also good to see again R: Hows the thing coming along that you mentioned you had problems with?

Thanks for asking mate. We're all up and running now on a technical level, but the paperwork and certification is still keeping me busy. Should all be sorted in the near future.

The Doctor 4 stuff is going to take me a little longer than anticipated as a consequence, although I'm still trying to get it done before Christmas.

R

Well as said: It would be a nice x-mas gift if you did, but real life things come first :) good to see progress on that too

Doctor Who: The Specials Suite (http://hotfile.com/dl/90552138/8ed1315/Doctor_Who_The_Specials_Suite_(extended).mp3.html)

An edit of mine combining (IMO) the best tracks from the Specials soundtrack.

Opens with The Next Doctor, then Planet of the Dead (with a little Waters of Mars). The End of Time starts at roughly [08:00], and follows vague story order: Setup and Vale; the Doctor, the Master and Gallifrey; The End Draws Near and the Clouds Pass; a little action fanfare for Ten before a Four Knocks, Song for Ten and Vale mix, then a few sombre cues before the (obvious) finale.

Probably not the best editing in the world, but some things are just meant to be -- particularly from [15:00 - 19:30]. I can't listen to the individual tracks without mentally piecing them together.

Great news!!! We're getting a soundtrack for "Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol" in Feb!!

If you still need the bonus tracks i'll upload the files this afternoon. :)

Merry christmas everybody!

As a present Recons and I have updated the first post with new soundtracks of the 4th Doctor - Tom Baker, a fan favourite to many. Enjoy!

And to you, sir!

Good Christmas Show really liked the music , season 6 looks great!!

I agree! A touching special and the coming episode previews were exciting. :)

Best Xmas Special 'till now. I guess now it is clear why it will have it's own CD release. :)

I was at work for its showing here in Oz - I'll have to download it!

Ahhhhh slightly disagree , this one was good , I liked Voyage of the Damned the best.
This was a good retelling/twist of the classic Christmas Carol story.

Ahhhhh slightly disagree , this one was good , I liked Voyage of the Damned the best.

Same here actually...I really liked the blonde girl and her story with Gabon and the comparisions with the Ghosts of Christmas story, but I wish we had a bit more of Rory and less of the fish (altho that idea was interesting). So yeah Voyage was better to me, but this 1 was not bad at all :).

Next season looks real good , noticed some interesting things and we will have the split season next year.

I got a question about ripping the Series 5 OST.

When ripping it, how can you rip it where itunes has the tracks numbered 1 to 63, instead of labeling the tracks by Disc?

I enjoyed "A Christmas Carol" but it wasn't my favorite. "A Christmas Invasion" is still my favorite of the Christmas specials. The "Blond girl" was the incredible Welch soprano Katherine Jenkins. Murray wrote the song she sings in the special and that will be included with the soundtrack. I thought it was a great mesh of "A Christmas Carol" with "Doctor Who" and one of the most Christmassy specials to date so Moff delivered with that promise. Looking forward to series six.

I enjoyed the story idea, but felt it was let down by the Shark/Carriage Ride in middle.

Other than that Dr Who has been the only X-Mas TV i have watched.

I liked this special, dripping with sentiment and that isnt a bad thing...Although Voyage of the damned proved (when standing behind a ship wheel looking dynamic) that David tennant would make an excellent Captain Harlock (if the movie was based on the first show)

Liked the special a lot, I want a shark like that!
So, the soundtrack will be released on February? Is there an official release date?

Silva Screen Records have confirmed to DWO that a Soundtrack will be released for A Christmas Carol.

The soundtrack, which features music from the 2010 Doctor Who Christmas Special, will be released in February 2011, and will also feature Katherine Jenkins on a track titled 'Abigail's Song'.

The music is composed by Murray Gold and performed by the excellent BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Crouch End Festival Chorus.

The album will be released both physically (SILCD1360) and digitally (SILED1360).

Talk about frustrating...woke up on christmas day went downstairs and caught the last 15 minutes of Dr Who at the proms on BBC America...and it seems they are not running it again.

I personally felt that ACC was one of, if not the, strongest Christmas special so far. The plot was introspective yet epic, and Katherine Jenkins did an absolutely superb job with a great song from Murray. One minor niggle: I loved the song, yet it was talked up as "a brand new carol" and "a classic". Hey, it's really good, but it's not THAT good, guys.

Maybe, since there's (at maximum) sixty minutes of material release, how about the opening/closing arrangements of the theme? I mean come on, that extra space is just begging to be filled by something, and it's not like it'll take much effort to bung the existing tracks on there, so... please?

Yea...they only ran it once. I have an interactive on-screen guide, and had it set to record....it is odd, they ran the proms once, but the Cristmas Carol like 33 times....:D I quite liked the new special. Course, I find myself quite liking the new Doc, so I am probably biased. Hmmm....a stripper cop outfit, and a roman soldier uniform...:D

I am please that Silva is willing to take a sort of Gamble with just one story of Dr Who with this release, but my main concern is how many extra tracks will be posted on Itunes and the like or has Silva releasized doing bonus tracks as an xculsive is not wise with Dr Who music fans

I have to wonder though, considering how much 'silence' played a part in the last season. If the lyrics were some sort of clue..
I was all set to hate the new Doc, same as i was when Eccleston left..guess i just dont like change, but i like Smith's portrayal a lot.
And i think i might be the only one to actually like the new Daleks *L*

I like the new Daleks and Matt Smith is superb , I loved Tennant but Smith picked up the reigns and flew, I love it.
I did feel the same way you felt when Eccleston left too. Ready to not like Tennant , but he turned out to be one of the Best Doctors and one of my personal favorites along with Peter Davison , and I did not like him at first either.
I just loved Time Crash , to see my two favorite Doctors togather in a short episode and everything was just perfect , I cried , I loved it so much.

Silence is falling was indeed a clue. That plot has not been resolved yet and will play a major part in series six.

from the Amazon UK site

I'm with you, guys. Tennant was an epic Doctor and i was afraid that Matt Smith couldn't live up to him. But from his first stint in "The End of Time" i saw we were in good hands. Season 5 has become my favorite till now (though that might be more due to the changes in production, RTD was great but Moffat's style is more up my alley). It's not that he's better than Tennant, he's different in many ways but the character core is there, all the best bits, especially the epicness.

"Why are you coming through the window?"
"Because if i was going out the window, i'd be going the wrong way!"
Don't ask me why but that one sums it up for me. ROFL. :)
Any date on the airing of the first episode of season 6?

the airing date for the first episode of season 6 is most likely during march or april.


Can someone tell me how long is Silva Screen Records's shipping takes to ship a package, because i ordered the series 5 soundtrack from thier site and the site does not tell about shipping methods.

An HD rip of this years Christmas special has made it's way to Demonoid and I found some links on another forum.

I got it from the other thread here, thanks, at least you can get a good idea of how the soundtrack cd would be. Murray Gold just rocks I love all his music from this series.

one of the greatest posts ive seen on here
really enjoyed this find!!!!
thanks for posting

I do wish people would stop throwing around the word "epic" so thoughtlessly these days. It is a very special, very specific word that has a certain connotation - and it is now used to describe anything (music, film, scenario, whatever) which is particularly loud. Doctor Who is not and never has been epic; nor should it ever be.

A Christmas Carol... what a brave and beautiful piece of storytelling. RTD is gone, and never has the absolute rightness of the decision to replace him with Moffat been felt as clearly as in this sublime story. The rest of this will sound like blind Moffat worship and I want to clarify right now that it's nothing of the sort; Moffat's written a few clunkers (not just in Who but in other shows) - but credit where credit is due. Certainly, RTD wrote his share of good romps, but Moffat writes Who as a piece of reverential literature. RTD's last Christmas special saw a gigantic steam-powered Cyberman stumbling around Victorian London. Moffat's first gives us a love story - a real breathing love story, a tale of morality, and ultimately an episode that simply sums up Christmas in the most beautiful, understated, British way possible. RTD gave us murderous Christmas trees, robotic Santas playing Carols, flying decorations, a tacky wedding, the list goes on. Moffat gives us wonder and beauty. He remarked in an interview that this would be the most Christmassy Christmas special ever - and I think many people interpreted that to mean the episode would be filled with Santas and what have you. Moffat's cleverer than that. The one thing the world needs right now is for somebody to strip away all the commercialism, all the political correctness, all the glitz, all the glamour... and remind us about the real, intangible magic of the season.

Isn't it a beautiful thing to see somebody do just that in this most infinitesimally unlikely arena - in a phenomenally popular TV show that detractors would have you believe is made for children...

He never takes the easy way out, he never presses the "epic" button to evoke epicness, the "Christmas" button to evoke Christmas, the "reset" button to allow him to make outrageous plot twists that are all safely rewound back to the status quo in time for the next episode. His stories are human. RTD thought that the key to writing stories people could relate to was to make constant pop-culture references, and have characters pining after fast food. Moffat engages with the human condition.

So, on to the score... It's also wonderful to see Who take a chance with a very musical episode. Not that Murray's scores ever sit in the background, but this episode is one of those rare times where the writer and the director has said, "OK, we need to turn everything off now... let the music do what it was born to do." and off Murray went. I wasn't expecting another Vale Decem moment ever again - where everything shuts off and we just get to wallow in the moment... but then Abigail's song came along - it's the score, it's relevant to the plot (indeed, it is the plot for its duration), it's beautiful, it's a brand new Christmas Carol, and ultimately it is the song itself which saves the day. Moffat teaches us that sometimes we don't need hundreds of thousands of Daleks, convoluted plotting, interplanetary wars, sonic screwdrivers, or fantastic technology to save the day... we need only to sing.

Absolutely superlative - score and story, both working together in that unique way that rarely happens these days... Hell, we even get some genuinely interesting variants of the new "I Am The Doctor" theme, proving my earlier suspicions that it works better as a leitmotif than as an outright theme. It's not a theme; it's a thematic fragment - and when it is treated as such it just works.

And, we are even blessed with a fine old fashioned finale cue - a triumphant fanfare and a shamelessly major key big finish that reminds me of "The Carrionites Swarm". (That's the last Who cue to date that actually managed to have a beginning, a middle, and a triumphant, musically valid ending. Now, THAT is the "I Am The Doctor" theme working beautifully - hammering it out repeatedly with tacky trailer-music "epic choir" and banging drums - NO. Skilfully interpolating it into a powerful finale... YES.)

RTD's last Christmas special saw a gigantic steam-powered Cyberman stumbling around Victorian London.

It's worse than that - RTD's actual last Christmas special was The End Of Time Part 1, although I can see how you would forget it. From memory, the Master makes a comment about Christmas appetites, and Timoty Dalton's narration referenced "a pagan rite," and I think that's the extent of his use of Christmas in that one.

Otherwise, an excellent post. I agree with pretty much everything you've said, and think you've perfectly summarised why Moffat, and the music in this episode, is so good.

...hammering it out repeatedly with tacky trailer-music "epic choir" and banging drums - NO.

So NOT like this, then?

tangotreats... very well said.

See the news here -

The Doctor Who News Page (http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/)

Apparently Ambassoders of Death has been successfully colourised and ready for DVD release.

Wow- one of Pertwee's best I thought.

Apparently Ambassoders of Death has been successfully colourised and ready for DVD release.



I seem to remember seeing episode one of this story on UK gold about 10-15 years ago but didn't get to see the rest.

I also thought it was said that they would not do another re-colored story as they are to expensive, but here they are attempting to do a complete story.

Personally i would had preffered if they did "Invasion of the Dionsaurs" episode 1 and then did some CGI effects to replace the really bad dionsaurs.

Maybe next time

Nah, the really bad dinos are part of the fun. And, as bad as the puppets were, the look of the dinos mirrored the then current view of them. Modern ones, would not work, there have been so many changes of not just looks, but behaviors. The whole story would work less well. Hm, that's a clunky sentence....

Why does every version I've come across of the Series 5 soundtrack have the track "Signora Rosanna Calvierri" in mono? Is that how it is on the CD? (I've not got my copy yet.) Is that intentional? Weird.

Just saw the Christmas special. I loved it! Fantastic! I really enjoy that it was all about humanity and emotion. and wow. the song.. the song sends chills down my spine! It's beautiful

BTW! CD of the Christmas Carol episode score will be released February 21 WITH the song :)

Im glad you really enjoyed it, I thought it was good at best , pretty song but it did move me much , maybe if I watch it again sometime but there were other Christmas specials I enjoyed more. IMHO of course :)
Still tho Matt Smith is the best and Im really looking forward to the next season.

could have done without the shark pulling the sled ok , come on! :)

could have done without the shark pulling the sled ok , come on! :)

This is what ruined the who special for me.

I'm not sure if this was ment to make everyone laugh, but it failed here and ranks in my books as one of the worst ideas i've seen along with RTD comic stunt of the two doctors being pulled along the ground and the steam cyberman from "The next doctor".

Then RTD couldn't write himself out of a tight spot unless creating something totally stupid.

Yeah the transformer Cyberman pushed it for me too, oh well , still a good show.
I just hope this "silliness" doesn't hurt the show like Roger Moore's silly Bond stuff.

I liked the steam cyberman. MY worst scene was from the current season actually. Spitfires in space. With lasers. WOW. I mean the propellors and control surfaces are useless in space. When I saw that I just laughed. It took me out of the story completely, and was the most embarrassed I was watching Who since perhaps Timelash......
