Ooo-Wee-Ooooo!

The world's longest running sci-fi show is back for its 27th series. But it's Saturday night and I already squandered my Friday night lauding another back-from-the-grave show. Here's something fun to play with til my potted review following the season finale next week.



Among the deluge of new web content for the big-budget relaunch of Doctor Who is The Radiophonatron, a flash application that lets you tinker with elements of its famous theme tune by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Unfortunately, it won't let you save your work, control how long a clip plays or help you sync the samples together.

I recommend Neow, Rub-A Dub and Wee Wah Woo from the early 80s because I grew up with those sounds, plus Diddly Dum, Oo-Ee-Oo and Hiss from the original theme. The analogue engineering of the day (1963) only adds to the creepy, other-worldly vibe. Kraftwerk on steroids.
