Bully! 
Title music shit, Smith very good. Looking forward to more.
Will they recant on the rearranged title music do people think? The web is unanimous on how shit it is.
I was wondering that. I bloody hope so.
Well I hated the previous theme, so this is an improvement for me; but there again, nothing beats the Delia Derbyshire original.

I doubt it; at least, not this series.
What is it that no one likes about the music?

Don't like change.
Ah, I see. I thought it was good. And change is good.

I've listened to it a few times now, and its grown on me after the initial befuddlement, but it feels like they could have gone a lot spookier, more ominous, like the theme was originally.
Julian Clary, appearing on the panel of a shite Australian topical radio comedy show this evening, stated he would like to play Doctor Who. <veers off topic>The highlight of his appearance on the radio show came when the host asked whether books by people like Bill Bryson had made the British fear Australia as a land of deadly animals. Clary apologetically replied that Australia never makes the news in the UK, leaving the jingoistic host feeling like a right prat.</off topic>
Weakly back on topic, I don't think Julian Clary would make a good Doctor, although I consider him more watchable than Tennant.
I never really understand why they have to mess with theme tunes at all. And in the case of Doctor Who it's one of the classic signature openings, and messing with it is akin to trying to touch up the Mona Lisa.

And she doesn't like that.
I can't even remember how the theme music went.
At first I didn't even realise the theme music had started.
I just thought it had cut to a scene of the Tardis travelling through the vortex with some incidental music.
