The original show that one was based on was less boring:

Prolly as All in the Family was merely lame stereotypical liberal comedy made at the expense of lame stereotypical conservatives. Blah! On the other hand it did have the worst introduction song EVER! :)

Oh Yes. Greatest drum rolls in the history of the tube!

BTW - Even if you don't see an episode of "Peter Gunn", you've GOT to dig up a copy of the theme. Its got one evil base beat.

True... :)

So here's the BEST Dr Who theme tune ever from the 7th series with Sylvester McCoy... :)

(Jon Pertwee & Tom Baker were me favourite Dr's but this series had the best version of the theme tune)... :)

Pah, the best rendition of the Dr Who theme, is without shadow of a trout, the Orbital remix of the original BBC Radiophonic Workshop version.

Anything else can just die in a hole.

@ Karlos

That remix was mince to be honest... :(

Nowt beats the 7th Doctors rendition (especially when you hear it in surround sound)... :)

Wish I had a recording of the guy with the bagpipes and the Yamaha keyboard who used to play on the streets of Edinburgh each year during the festival, his version of Dr Who on the bagpipes was something to behold (winder what happened to him...) :)

It was a kids show that aired back in the 80's. I was afraid of her.

I'm not one for the PC brigade (politically correct) but I think they may be onto something when they say shows like that should be banned... ;)

If that was a kiddies show you must've been scared for life by it... :eek:

Actually, that show was extremely PC in the political climate of Sweden in the 80's. There was another show, even worse, starring a six year-old with downs. That was just awful >.<
