The Theme to Doctor Who / Orbital (2004)
Orbital covering the theme to Doctor Who at Glastonbury 2004. A little less than a year later we would get Murray Gold’s significantly more prosaic orchestral version for the reboot.
Tours of Old York #2: The Streets of York, 1988 and Now
And, having found another old video of York on YouTube, it’s time for another Tour of Old York. Alas, the the YouTube video doesn’t seem to be embeddable on any old random website but – in better news – it does seem to be tagged with a permissive licence that allows me to rehost it here…
FANNY The Brave Dog (Lee Hardcastle)
A fun little 43 seconds exploring the idea of Uber for Zombie-killing.
Star Trek XII
So very true….
Death By Chair
Possibly my favourite ever Doctor Who death – the man-eating chair from 1971’s Terror of the Autons. It’s great fun with 70s Doctor Who remaining true to it’s nature – spending almost 30 seconds on inflating a plastic chair – and, as always, Roger Delgado remains the consummate professional through out.

Middlewich Breach Repair Time Lapse

Tours of Old York #1: 70s York in Flood
York in flood during (apparently) the late 70s. At about 30 seconds in there’s a lovely shot of a very wet pre-flood defence Marygate. Later on, at around one minute forty, you get a shot along Wellington Row and across the River – notably showing the build that there before the construction of the General Accident (now Aviva) Building. There are also some nice shots of The Kings Arms and the bottom of the Museum Gardens in flood.
