Music and Science Fiction
Sue Nelson continues her investigation into the world of music and science fiction.
Today, she looks at incidental music written for sci-fi series on television, beginning with the most influential - Doctor Who.
The programme's spine-chilling theme brought electronic music into British sitting-rooms for the first time. There's also a re-evaluation of the thrilling themes created by Barry Gray for some all-time Gerry Anderson favourites - UFO,
Stingray and Thunderbirds. The feature-length film version of Doctor Who is on BBC1 on Bank Holiday Monday at 8.30pm
# Doctor Who offers: p 129
