In a lovely Douglas Adamsy touch, Cassandra says it’s “classical music, from humanity’s greatest composers.” In light of previous entries, it’s worth noting that Russell T Davies states on the commentary that broadcast Who is all that really matters and if music is unclearable for DVD so be it – fortunately on this occasion it’s there on your shiny disc too. Your taste for humour in Who is probably defined by whether you think Christopher Eccleston beaming and bopping to Tainted Love on Cassandra’s Jukebox is wonderfully Doctorish, or painfully wrong. Toxic (Britney Spears) – The End of the World And four other Dalek stories, and five Davros-centric audios. The first DVD release in 2001 (and 2007 repackage) had music replacements, but pick up the Davros Box Set from retailers such as Big Finish for £40.00 and you get the story as transmitted with proper music, as well as extra extras. What is it with Dalek stories and Beatles songs? Must be because they’re both British Icons… the music comes courtesy of a jukebox in the cafe scenes, in this 1963-set McCoy story, which far from the usual disparaging fan insults his era gathers, is actually one of the all time great Dalek stories. Do You Want to Know a Secret (The Beatles) – Remembrance of the Daleks Music replacements on the DVD for copyright reasons again. Hang the DJ! Alexei Sayle’s retro DJ-to-the-dead plays various funky tunes in the luxury cryogenics-facility-come-morgue, the Tranquil Repose. A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procul Harem) – Revelation of the Daleks Sadly the exciting drama of evil reality-eating antimatter, which looks a bit like Space Blancmange, cuts short the music lesson. Okay, you don’t actually hear a sample, but when guesting Doctor 2 (Patrick Troughton) tries to explain who he is in relation to incumbent Doctor 3 (Jon Pertwee) he states “I am he and he is me,” to which baffled yet fab’n’groovy Jo Grant replies “And we are all together, goo goo coo choo?” She explains it’s a song by the Beatles, and recorder-clutching Troughton is delighted – “Oh, how does it go?” putting it to his lips. I Am The Walrus (The Beatles) – The Three Doctors This little number can still be heard if you have one of the old VHS versions, over the early factory scenes as Ransome is shown around, but it was cut from the DVD and replaced with machine noise, causing bitter distress to some who wage Internet campaigns against the Restoration Team to this day. Oh Well (Fleetwood Mac) – Spearhead From Space Time to get hunting for those original audio bootlegs, methinks! So I haven’t actually heard this, and I really want to. where Beatles music plays… The entire scene was completely cut from the 1992 audio cassette due to accompanying rights issues, and though reinstated for the CD release, the actual music was still replaced by Mark Ayres and his digital juju. The Doctor’s TARDIS has been stolen, and a trail of clues take him to a coffee bar called the Tricolor. Paperback Writer ( The Beatles) – The Evil of the DaleksĪppears in episode 1, which no longer exists on film. With a surreal series of set pieces in which Daleks clear the decks of the Marie Celeste, what must be a parallel world in which 1996’s Festival of Ghana features a house of horrors with killer androids, and a Dalek created double of Doctor Who “completely (in)distinguishable from the original” you’d be forgiven for thinking that Terry Nation and the Doctor Who production team started experimenting with mind-expanding herbs around the same time the Beatles did.
