Don't like the cut n paste head of Jon Pertwee on the cover seem out of place, I'd gone for the pic of him posing from the other box sets that is set prominently in the middle. It's him 'as seen on TV' though, just like when the titles rolled in the old days - and at least they are showing the great man's face this time, not just a silhouette! True but that image of him posing without the silhouette effect might have worked better putting Jon's Doctor in the centre.

A news around midnight? Have they hired insomniac employees recently?

A good plug for this fine forum and I'm sure many at BF have a good read to see what us, the fans, are chatting about.
And Mr Guy Adams...a fellow electronica fan! I'll be checking out Ghost Box Records this weekend.
Edit - really looking forward to this set and the return of The Brigadier via John Culshaw, great stuff.
Now then, how about a spin off?

I love the fact that we got a shout out in the news article. Oh, that's gloriously surreal, I think I remember reading that conversation. Cheers, Dorney!
Speaking of surreal, that trailer's set off a Mandela effect in my brain. It swears it's heard this scene before on television in CSO and popping colour. Given Guy Adams's choice of subject matter: examining specific traits of a nostalgic past that may only exist now because of hindsight (i.e. retrofuturism; doing a 1940s-style noir in the 2010s), that's a very good sign.
(Also, it's a bit cheeky, but the moment the Doctor and Jo started talking about the improvements he'd made to her radio, I couldn't help but think that he might've accidentally introduced Earth to Dubstep several decades too early.)

This truly does sound like the best set so far for this range. But then, they've all been so good. I love the ideas behind these two stories, especially The Scream of Ghosts. As a fan of electronica myself, Guy Adams' words 'we have electronica, haunted wave-forms and the pastoral evoked as a crunching, electronic place of horror' fill me with a huge amount of excitement.

Out of curiosity, how many electronica fans do we have here? *raises hand* Very strong tradition of it here, but synthwave in particular was the genre I never knew I needed until I found it.

As an aside, I know that Gary Russell and Nicholas Briggs like the music of Gary Numan, and Mark Gatiss has expressed appreciation for the mighty John Foxx.

I wasn’t aware they were Gary Numan fans!?

As an aside to this thread, John Foxx has just collaborated on an album with Wrangler (Steven Mallinder of Cabaret Voltaire).
Check out Wrangler's first album 'LA Spark' which is excellent and quite John Carpenter esq.
And the remix album 'Sparked' is a thing of beauty!

I wasn’t aware they were Gary Numan fans!? Mr Gatiss introduced John Foxx either at a concert or an art exhibition and waxed lyrical on what an influence he had been. Regarding Russell and Briggs, I emailed Big Finish many years ago (it might even have been a communication on the then BF forum) saying how much I liked the updated theme music to Dalek Empire (which gives you some idea of how long ago this was), and how it was very Numan-ish. Gary said he was a fan, and that Nick had said something along the lines of 'Well, if you want an electronic theme, there's few better to base it on than Gary Numan.'

That's got to be up there with Neil Gaiman singing the theme to Fireball XL5, in concert with Amanda Palmer. Must look Numan and Foxx up at some point in the future. The reason I ask is because a couple weeks ago I rediscovered a wikia devoted to the music of Delia Derbyshire, both while she was at the Radiophonic Workshop and elsewhen. It's got ambience for an Aztec history, radio plays across both ends of speculative fiction and fantasy (witches and robots), effects for an apparition of Hamlet's father, the works. A lot of love has been put into cataloguing and annotating every note they could find. It's a wonderful listen.

It comes to something when I can read a whole page of a Third Doctor thread - a thread about my Doctor's latest adventures -and not understand a word of it...
'electronica'??! Can one reverse the polarity of that? Oh well, no doubt it will be educational for me...

Another Gary Numan fan here and this does indeed sound like a fab release.
