A shower of Golden loveliness raining down onto your astonished face

No, it's not a L&H DVD release. But it's still excellent.

Yeah, I might get it. The theme where Rose and the Doctor become seperated and are hugging the walls in Doomsday was fantastic.

"I thought you were talking about porn again."

I presumed it was alluding to porn but until I clicked the link I thought the "L&H DVD release" meant Laurel & Hardy, so I was scratching my head.

I'm sure they'll been plenty of porn available for the action here, surely this deserves an article on it's own :)

Speaking of Who, there's a new game on the front page at the moment.

I *do* like the Who site. I've not investigated it accessibility-wise, but from a content and updates point of view, it's fantastic. And I do like the changing front page.

The consensus amongst most of the people I've spoken to about this is that Gold's incidental music is awful....

I really like his music. I think it's overused at times, or (especially) put too high in the sound mix, but as *music* - it's lovely. The stuff in Doomsday especially.

I think part of the reason some people don't like it is because it does call attention to itself more than a lot of TV music these days - most shows just want it to blend into the background. I quite like music being allowed to call attention to itself, but it's personal taste.

I suppose that makes us one of the "bad places" you refer to on diggerdydum, then?

Oh no, there are far, far worse bad places....

Actually I think my major problem with Gold's music is its level in the mix, which they sorted out to a degree in series 2 but still not completely. Bad Wolf really suffers from this, and that's not his music, obv, so maybe I'm being overly harsh.

According to some discussions on the Restoration Team forum, part of the problem with the sound mix is because of the folding down from 5.1 to stereo for broadcast - some people think it hasn't been done properly.

I haven't got a 5.1 setup here, though (I'm in a flat, and the neighbours wouldn't be happy), so I can't confirm that.
