    Still weak and confused after his fourth regeneration, the Doctor retreats to Castrovalva to recuperate.

  • Back from the Fourth Dimension Paddy Kingsland
    Back From The Fourth Dimension Paddy Kingsland Posted: April 22, 2014 robinthefog.com/2014/04/22/back-from-the-fourth-dimension-paddy-kingsland/ As promised, following last week’s report for BBC World Service, here is the first of four interviews with the veterans of the Radiophonic Workshop, the ‘Godfathers of British Electronic Music’, now reformed and touring their collection of vintage analogue equipment and classic radiophonic works to rapturous reception. They’ll be featured in the order I interviewed them two weeks ago at the University of Chichester, so we’re starting with synthesiser legend Paddy Kingsland; the man who definitely put the ‘funk’ into radiophonics. Best known for The Fourth Dimension LP (essentially a Kingsland solo album), he has a string of classic BBC themes to his name, as well as providing incidental music for such classics as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Dr. Who and many more. Paddy has also recorded solo albums, made library music and jingles for KPM and worked alongside composers such as Michael Nyman. His signature sound is melodic synthesiser workouts with a strong rhythmic back-bone and the track ‘Vespucci’ is a highlight of their revived set-list. This interview, slightly truncated here, took place in the artist’s green room at Chichester University; with moderate interruptions from the air conditioning... ! PK: I worked at the Radiophonic Workshop for the BBC between 1970 and 1981, which is quite a long time ago now. Of course I’ve done quite a lot of other things since then, but more recently I was approached by some other friends who worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and was asked if I‘d be interested in doing some gigs with them – some live events.

  • Delia Derbyshire Sound and Music for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, 1962-1973
    Delia Derbyshire Sound and Music For The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, 1962-1973 Teresa Winter PhD University of York Music June 2015 2 Abstract This thesis explores the electronic music and sound created by Delia Derbyshire in the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop between 1962 and 1973. After her resignation from the BBC in the early 1970s, the scope and breadth of her musical work there became obscured, and so this research is primarily presented as an open-ended enquiry into that work. During the course of my enquiries, I found a much wider variety of music than the popular perception of Derbyshire suggests: it ranged from theme tunes to children’s television programmes to concrete poetry to intricate experimental soundscapes of synthesis. While her most famous work, the theme to the science fiction television programme Doctor Who (1963) has been discussed many times, because of the popularity of the show, most of the pieces here have not previously received detailed attention. Some are not widely available at all and so are practically unknown and unexplored. Despite being the first institutional electronic music studio in Britain, the Workshop’s role in broadcasting, rather than autonomous music, has resulted in it being overlooked in historical accounts of electronic music, and very little research has been undertaken to discover more about the contents of its extensive archived back catalogue. Conversely, largely because of her role in the creation of its most recognised work, the previously mentioned Doctor Who theme tune, Derbyshire is often positioned as a pioneer in the medium for bringing electronic music to a large audience.

  • Sociopathetic Abscess Or Yawning Chasm? the Absent Postcolonial Transition In
    Sociopathetic abscess or yawning chasm? The absent postcolonial transition in Doctor Who Lindy A Orthia The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract This paper explores discourses of colonialism, cosmopolitanism and postcolonialism in the long-running television series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who has frequently explored past colonial scenarios and has depicted cosmopolitan futures as multiracial and queer- positive, constructing a teleological model of human history. Yet postcolonial transition stages between the overthrow of colonialism and the instatement of cosmopolitan polities have received little attention within the program. This apparent ‘yawning chasm’ — this inability to acknowledge the material realities of an inequitable postcolonial world shaped by exploitative trade practices, diasporic trauma and racist discrimination — is whitewashed by the representation of past, present and future humanity as unchangingly diverse; literally fixed in happy demographic variety. Harmonious cosmopolitanism is thus presented as a non-negotiable fact of human inevitability, casting instances of racist oppression as unnatural blips. Under this construction, the postcolonial transition needs no explication, because to throw off colonialism’s chains is merely to revert to a more natural state of humanness, that is, cosmopolitanism. Only a few Doctor Who stories break with this model to deal with the ‘sociopathetic abscess’ that is real life postcolonial modernity. Key Words Doctor Who, cosmopolitanism, colonialism, postcolonialism, race, teleology, science fiction This is the submitted version of a paper that has been published with minor changes in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 45(2): 207-225. 1 1.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who and the Leisure Hive by David Fisher Doctor Who and the Leisure Hive by David Fisher. The Doctor and Romana travel to the Leisure Hive on Argolis, a planet ravaged by a nuclear war with the Foamasi years earlier. The Argolin leader, Mena, explains that her people are now sterile and the Hive is their legacy, intended to bring different races together in the spirit of peace. The main attraction is a device called the Tachyon Recreation Generator, but it is experiencing mysterious faults. At the same time, Mena's son, Pangol, becomes increasingly militant; the scientist Hardin conducts fraudulent temporal experiments; an Earth businessman, Brock, behaves very oddly; and mysterious creatures prowl the Leisure Hive. Production. Throughout the incubation of Doctor Who 's seventeenth season, the outgoing team of producer Graham Williams and script editor Douglas Adams had tried unsuccessfully to attract new writers to the programme. As a result, they had found themselves relying on veteran Doctor Who contributors, while also leaving few viable scripts in development for Williams' successor, John Nathan-Turner. Despite these struggles, Nathan- Turner was eager to attract not only new writers, but also new directors to Season Eighteen. However, he and executive producer Barry Letts were also keen to rein in the programme's humorous and fantastical tendencies, in favour of a renewed emphasis on more legitimate science. This was out of keeping with those few narratives -- such as Pennant Roberts' “Erinella” and Alan Drury's “The Tearing Of The Veil” -- that remained available for consideration. With no script editor in place when he took over as producer in December 1979, this forced Nathan-Turner to turn to a familiar Doctor Who name: David Fisher.

  • Doctor Who's Feminine Mystique
    Doctor Who’s Feminine Mystique: Examining the Politics of Gender in Doctor Who By Alyssa Franke Professor Sarah Houser, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs Professor Kimberly Cowell-Meyers, Department of Government, School of Public Affairs University Honors in Political Science American University Spring 2014 Abstract In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan examined how fictional stories in women’s magazines helped craft a societal idea of femininity. Inspired by her work and the interplay between popular culture and gender norms, this paper examines the gender politics of Doctor Who and asks whether it subverts traditional gender stereotypes or whether it has a feminine mystique of its own. When Doctor Who returned to our TV screens in 2005, a new generation of women was given a new set of companions to look up to as role models and inspirations. Strong and clever, socially and sexually assertive, these women seemed to reject traditional stereotypical representations of femininity in favor of a new representation of femininity. But for all Doctor Who has done to subvert traditional gender stereotypes and provide a progressive representation of femininity, its story lines occasionally reproduce regressive discourses about the role of women that reinforce traditional gender stereotypes and ideologies about femininity. This paper explores how gender is represented and how norms are constructed through plot lines that punish and reward certain behaviors or choices by examining the narratives of the women Doctor Who’s titular protagonist interacts with. Ultimately, this paper finds that the show has in recent years promoted traits more in line with emphasized femininity, and that the narratives of the female companion’s have promoted and encouraged their return to domestic roles.

During its first battles the wounded were left where they fell unless they hobbled away with the help of a comrade. Wounded soldiers, lucky to find themselves away from the battlefields, sat on cities’ curbs and on the front steps of homes and waiting for caregivers to arrive. In July 1861, Williams S. King, the medical director of Irvin McDowell’s Federal army arrived only a few days before the troops began their march toward Manassas Junction, Virginia. King estimated that he would need 20 wagons of medical supplies to accompany the army. The quartermaster of the army denied the request. Though 50 wagons were available for ambulance duty, they were driven by musicians who had no other specific task to perform in this instance.

  • Julia Franco First Year Seminar Science Fiction Tuesday 9:30-10:45
    Julia Franco First Year Seminar Science Fiction Tuesday 9:30-10:45/ Friday 9:30-12:15 Allegories in Time and Space1 On November 23rd 1963, the BBC launched their new TV show ​Doctor Who​. They did not anticipate the cultural phenomenon.what would grow out of their low budget show with cheesy special effects. British children were enchanted by William Hartnal’s Doctor and his companions: Ian, Barbara and Susan, and gleefully scared by the fearsome salt shakers of doom: The Daleks. The stories were anywhere from 4 to 12 parts, each around 25 minutes and were serialized weekly. But lying beneath the light hearted self resolving stories ran deeper elements reflecting attitudes towards history and current events. Deeply rooted in the series was the allegory to World War II. The Daleks take the place of the Nazis and the Time Lords therefore fill the opposing role of the Alliance. At many points, the story reads as if it is a future history of what would have happen if the Nazis had won World War II. This tapped into the subconscious fears of the nation as the war was still fresh in the minds of the parents of Britain. But also tied into the contemporary fears of the Cold War and the Soviet threat. These allegorical elements along with the characters in Doctor Who, such as the Daleks and the Time Lords, that correspond to actual historical events and people make the show what it is today: timeless and timely. The Daleks would not exist if not for one man- Terry Nation.
