Doctor Who Theme on Player Piano

I'm constantly amused by different versions of the Doctor Who theme.

Doctor Who Fan Music (Chameleon Circuit)

I think one of the more amusing things about the internet era is that music like Chameleon Circuit has more of an opportunity than ever to get out into the public. In the past, at best, this would be a novelty single or something that you'd end up getting a scratchy, tenth generation tape copy of. Now, you can go right to Amazon.com and pick it up.

Or you can find a video on YouTube:

Blink Music Video

One of the great things I love is when one creative work leads to another one -- and that is always true of Doctor Who.

So something like the music video -- with new original fan-created music -- for Chameleon Circuit's Blink is fantastic. It's a really good song, and one that I can't wait to find a way to get a copy of.

Interesting Doctor Who vids

I'm not a huge follower of the fan music video tradition -- every now and then one pops up and I watch it. I think it's a great form -- and one of my concerns about all of the copyright battles that are going out is that it's pushed so far underground that fans can't do it. I know that some creators are certainly in favor of the form, especially the ones who are of fandom in the first place.

This video is particularly interesting, especially as a commentary on the series:

It's just the way my brain works...

Ok. Sometimes, I think there are some times that I can't escape Doctor Who.

I'm watching the following video of Jonathan Coulton performing his song Still Alive in the UK, and well, they've got a bunch of faces on sheets of paper... and one is clearly Colin Baker from when he was playing the Doctor... why, I don't pretend to understand.



I think there's some fine tuned "Doctor Who" sense that goes off whenever there's something with a connection to the series...

More Music Videos

We're a little late for the Chistmas season, but following up on the video from Skullcrusher Mountain, I found another good one for Jonathan Coulton's Chiron Beta Prime.

I know what you're looking for

Lots of people are hitting out site recently looking for James Marsters information -- and with him scheduled to appear in the first episode of Torchwood Series Two soon, we've got our first clip.

And really, we know that there won't be any need for slash fiction in this case, because the television show is definitely going there, presumably to the great enjoyment of the women (and presumably the gay men) watching the show...

I don't think this is what Doctor Who fans of five years ago would have expected though!



Torchwood Series Two starts airing in the UK next week and on BBC America at the end of the month.

From BBC America you have this one:



From BBC 2 in the UK you have this one:

Map of the World

This isn't, I suppose, Doctor Who content, but it might be interesting to see where people are coming to this site in the week before the new series starts on the BBC.

Of course, I could mention that I saw the same sort of map on Paul Cornell's site, and the youtube video he linked to was enjoyable as well, mashing up old-series and new-series footage in a way that feels a lot more natural than you might expect.
