They should really release that Soundtrack...

As I haven't found a more or less complete list of the very possible most beautiful but due to copyright infringements never released soundtrack in TV history ever (ok, maybe I AM exaggerating a bit, or hold on a minute, nope, I'm not) I tried to do it myself, and if anyone out there is also interested into Takin' Over the Asylum's soundtrack, here it is. It might not be absolutely complete, and I'm not always sure which version they used in that mini episode, but it is better than finding nothing on the net. So any help and corrections are appreciated. Anyway, here is my best suggestion:

Back to Basic

It's a well known secret that today at 8am the new season 5 Doctor Who logo has been introduced to the audience. The first reactions differ from "Brilliant" (lol) or "it could be worse" to "we want to keep the old one". I suggest you make up your own mind. Here you find a copy of it. And here is a part of the new intro.

IMO it's better than the old one, the one we had for the last 4 seasons. Sure, it's new and at the first glimpse everything new is bad, but after giving it another thought... we'll get used to it, and I was never really fond of the old one. And I'm really fond of its retro style. It works for me, I hope it also works for you as the BBC doesn't care about our opinion.
