Yes. Someone sent me a video of it. They’d approached me years previously about “an attraction at a theme park”. Then it all went quiet. Then I heard about it and eventually got through to them. They’d used it “on the blanket”. I got not a penny. And I don’t have a US lawyer to enquire further. ;)

Thankyou. Of course, I adore the original score. It’s largely responsible for inspiring my choice of career. :)

Happy Doctor Who Day, folks. Like me, I am sure they don’t feel a day over 62. Thanks to @benjamincook.bsky.social for the picture and to the Bad Wolf team for a great day out which included playback review to sign off my mix for the new edit of @bbcdoctorwho The Sea Devils. We hope you’ll enjoy it.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.
