Want to share your favorite music themes from Doctor Who?
Join us in this ongoing event series! This time you can include selections from the Christmas Specials!

Though not quite as dependent on a musical soundtrack as Star Wars is with John Williams’ scores --- imagine the Death Star Trench Run, Throne Room WITHOUT music or set to a polka by our friend Weird Al --- Doctor Who has likewise subconsciously linked your emotions to stories… your empathy for Rose in Doomsday, for instance. And it helps you remember episode details better!

First, select 5-10 of your favorite music soundtrack selections to share from YouTube/Dailymotion, 1-5 min in length. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLl0U0Uk_z8&list=PLD1110BD00889E104&index=27 accompanying Rose’s trip to Bad Wolf Bay. You may select audio from any stories aired 1963-present - from BBC Radiophonic Workshop to Dudley Simpson to Murray Gold (both pictured above) to Segun Akinola. No spoken dialogue, just the music though a song used in the series is fine. Accompanying video is OK but not needed. Copy/paste your selected links to a Word or other document prior to the event to use as your personal list. And this time include at least 1 selection from a Christmas special!

The event will start on Zoom as usual, then add Watch2Gether (which shares from YouTube and Dailymotion, so make your selections from those sources). We'll then tell you how to share your selections so everyone can listen to them at the same time!

Questions also to discuss: Do you prefer electronic score or symphonic? Your favorite Season/Series Opening Credits Theme? Which Doctor and/or companion’s theme is your favorite?

---------------
Log onto Zoom FIRST (link on right visible only to those that RSVP) a few minutes prior to the event, the host will admit you shortly thereafter. Check that your Zoom profile name matches your Meetup one. Then easy-to-follow instructions for Watch2Gether viewing will be given (ie, "click here"). But do NOT load videos until the host directs you to.
