Classic Doctor Who Music - Spearhead From Space (Suite)

[@marquonuk]

This music is so evocative you can almost see the episode. I love the fact that the sinister music plus the electronic trilling is enough to make me feel unnerved, in a good way. Time to get the story out again for another viewing. A lot of the 1960s and 70s music in particular was so clever at making us feel uneasy as a backdrop to what we were seeing on screen. Wonderful stuff.

10:35 I love the sound design here it's so odd.

[@theclassicwhovian4869]

Thank you so much for this. Spearhead is still one of my fav stories after all these years and the auton music is still terrifying. I couldn't find it anywhere!

7:48 Love this music!

[@yospads]

Me too

Dudley had an 8 piece orchestra on this score - a rarity!

For anyone looking for the track where the Doctor escapes in the wheelchair, it's at 4:01

1:53-2:34 The Third Doctor's Theme.

[@jasonkey3494]

I have always thought of it as Liz Shaw's theme.

[@bonnacon1610]

I always think of it as Liz’s theme, but I know what you mean: it really captures a moment in cultural history and all the confidence and urbanity of the new Doctor.

[@LordMazzello]

Some atmospheric dramatic pieces here, but a few remind me of Carry On scores.

[@marquonuk]

Yes, I think they were probably trying to break the sinister mood with jolly music in some lighter scenes as a contrast, in order to then crank up the sinister mood again.

[@rrozinak]

Thank you! This one is my favourite. Especially from 1:55

[@That_Random_Bloke]

roman Absolutely, I love that one

[@swilliams937]

Reminds me of going to the grocery store with my mom back when I was a toddler!

[@bonnacon1610]

It’s miraculous, encapsulating all the optimism, sophistication and imaginative potential of this wonderful series. Who would have expected a sliver of purely adult cool jazz to announce Liz Shaw?

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

LOVE this story. It's one of the best in the classic series.

[@Clavinovaman]

Even today you cannot replicate the richness, range, the tension and atmosphere of acoustic instruments with digital samples and computers. _The real thing still sounds so much better._

[@LordSlarr]

Hey, could you get The Invasion and The War Games music please? Nowhere else has it.

[@matty.r23]

Evil of the Daleks too!

[@Alextehsmartkid]

Can you get the ambassadors of death music

[@finnsempire5671]

Pertwee : oh no Auton: good lord it’s doctor who Me: stand back grandfather Jon Pertwee: kiddo you are saving me now

[@andersart1001]

I first watched New Who and started Classic Who whilst waiting for each new series premiere. I have to say, I really loved Classic Series 7; still had moments of fun and eccentricity, whilst being somewhat more serious and even mature, I might say (for starters, there were actual repercussions for the Doctor's actions - and those of his friends as well) Come series 8, Jo and The Master show up and it feels we're back to "let's entertain the kiddos", somewhat like Troughton's series 4-6. Not that I don't like "Terror of The Autons" or "Carnival of Monsters" or don't have fun watching "Claws of Axos" or "The Mutants", but it felt like a step backwards from series 7 : /
