    Composed by Ron Grainer and arranged, performed and recorded by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC radiophonic workshop. Grainer reportedly didn't recognize it as his own composition as at the time the typical arrangement would have been for a standard orchestra.

    It's not just that they threw away tapes. They also routinely recorded over tapes due to constant budget problems. A real shame.

    I like Capaldi a lot but the stories are not quite right for him and frankly Moffat's writing and production capabilities have long ago run their course. That and an apparent push to further pander to an international audience has diluted Dr. Who - in my opinion. Not sure what the remedy is, but better writing would be a great start. Capaldi's talent was wasted on these past two seasons. I have seen every episode there is to see (I think) so I think my opinion counts for something. I quickly tired of Sherlock and have to disagree on that point. I see Moffat as the primary problem.

  22. Common practice on Reuters Bans RAW Photo Format (petapixel.com) · · Score: 0

    This does not make much sense at all. It is common practice to improve the look of images both for press and web and while not actually causing any kind of misrepresentation the image is still altered from the original. An underexposed image can very simply be improved by adjusting brightness and contrast levels. Images with improper color balance due to poor lighting or other reasons can easily be corrected using curves and levels. The issue is one of responsibility and knowing how far to go before the image is effectively doctored and pushing some sort of agenda. jpegs can be altered just as easily as RAW, tif, png, psd etc.

    There is good reason to believe that Hitler was gay, even if not consummated. And if not that necessarily that, not entirely heterosexual either. Eva Braun usually considered a prop. His great hero was Frederick the Great who was definitely gay, so...well, just saying. Apart from that, I agree, anything and everything however ludicrous is used to try to discredit the enemy or perceived enemy both domestic and foreign.
