Murray Gold returning as Doctor Who composer 📺
The news that Murray Gold is returning to Doctor Who is quite exciting, for me anyway.
I love the way each season he created new material, giving each important character their own piece. You hear Clara’s theme and you see that leaf blowing on the wind. You hear “I am the Doctor” and you see Eleven leaping into action.
Hearing his theme in 2005 when the Doctor finally returned to our screens was just so exciting. It was a new arrangement but so familiar and took me straight back to how hearing that music as a boy meant the latest episode was starting and for 25 minutes I was going to be caught up in an adventure in time and space.
🍕 Making pizza for lunch, with all of the anchovies. All. Of. The. Anchovies.
Finished The Diplomat on Netflix.
Good pacing, underlying story isn’t overly complex and links everything together. I’ve seen comparisons to West Wing but I think it’s closer to Madam Secretary. If you liked those or more recently The Night Agent or The Recruit on Netflix you should enjoy this. 📺
Checking out Bluesky. Not sure I’ll use it actively but if nothing else I’ve reserved my username. Now to find some people to follow.
Spoiler free thoughts on the final episode of Star Trek Picard.
Nice touch having Walter Koenig do the voice of his son, the federation president.
Worf has had the best lines throughout the season.
That final scene with the TNG crew, a perfect way to end.
Watch the credits.
Brilliant.

🍸 Clocked off and going to a long lunch on a Tuesday. How decadent.
👴 I appear to have reached that stage of life where I straighten up, hold my lower back and sigh “oh dear”.
I count myself very fortunate to live close to the Brisbane river where I can find a patch of grass and enjoy a pleasant end to the Easter long weekend.

🚶 Time for a walk along the river to wind out the long weekend.
🫖 Washed the car, which is my one chore for the day. Now for a cup of tea, hot cross bun and catch up on some rss feeds.
