On one hand, John Nathan-Turner replaced Delia Derbyshire's amazing rendition of the Dr. Who theme with one that, in spite of being nearly two decades newer, seemed less modern (which admittedly says more about the genius of Delia than the abilities of Peter Howell), replaced the old fabulous title sequence with a far more boring one, and insisted ( Read more... )
