4. Doctor Who Disco Mix - Ron Grainer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1SZs4xudf8 Ever wondered what Doctor Who would have sounded like if it had been an American cop drama? Well, it would have probably been something like this. This was the first arrangement of the the Doctor Who theme tune created by Ron Grainer on his own. Grainer composed the original back in 1963 but it was the work of Delia Derbyshire and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop that made it the haunting, memorable classic that is know and loved today. On the album 'The Exciting Television Music of Ron Grainer' released in 1980, though, fans got to hear what Grainer would have done with the theme. Thank God Delia Derbyshire was around to put it right.

Joel Cornah, is an author hailing from a small isolated village in Lancashire.
Having told stories of dinosaurs, penguins and dragons to his younger siblings for nigh on two decades, it soon became apparent that these tales needed to be written down. Gathering the myriad of maps, family trees, illustrations and noted ideas, he began work on the world of dyngard. Having grown along with the audience from a collection of loosely related children’s stories, it became a whole world of adventure, magic and questions.
He was awarded a degree in Creative Writing from Liverpool John Moors University and spent seven years writing a comical newspaper for The Barrow Downs Tolkien discussion forum.
Currently running a charity café in Parbold village, Joel is often found deep in discussion of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the long history of Doctor Who, and desperately trying not to frighten people away. Often with limited success.
