Any Feedback on BIG BANG from RTD or DT?

[Starkers]

Yeah I saw him on Graham Norton and GN asked if he hoped it would flop without him and he said something along the lines of. "As a pathetic fanboy I hope it's still good" or something like that

I think tha if I were in RTD's shoes, I might be a little put out by the fact that Moffet made it a point of mentioning how much he enjoyed what he'd done with the show. Then the first thing he did after becoming show runner was to change damn near everything.

 

[The Wormhole]

There was an interview I read from maybe a month where RTD said he was delighted with how series five was progressing and that he'd watch "Doctor Who" with Moffat as the show runner forever or something like that. He's not stated anything but positive things. I'm sure Russell and David watch it when they can. As has been stated David is a self professed Doctor Who nerd so I think he'd watch it when he could or Tivio's it.

Did Tennant ever watch his own eps though? A dye-in-the-wool fan he might be but many actors don't actally like to watch themselves on the screen.

Tennant's video diaries for The Christmas Invasion do show him and his family sitting down to watch that when it aired Christmas 2005.

I'm sure RTD fully expected that Moffat would put his own imprint on the show. And besides, despite the changes, the show still shares FAR more in common with the flashier, faster-paced RTD era than with anything in the previous eras.

RTD knew the console room was going to be changed, that's why it was destroyed in The End of Time.

While I'm sure it wasn't a surprise because he'd still have to produce it, my understanding is that after RTD wrote the line, "I don't want to go," he sent the script to Moffat and told him to write the last minute. So he didn't write the actual destruction, technically.

Is this RTD/Moffat feud fantasy still going on...and I don't think the show has changed that much, I'm just glad Murray Gold stuck around though outside of the action theme, the music doesn't seem as varied. The only real change for me is that the writing is a bit tighter, and the tone is a lot darker - even through direction, lots of the episodes seemed very....blue to me. RTD could write, but he was writing for a different audience and with a different style.

I think when everyone talks about how much is changed, they're talking about visually. Eg, opening credits (and theme), new console room, new TARDIS prop, new sonic screwdriver, new Daleks, and so on in that order. Really it seems the only thing from the RTd era they held onto was Murray Gold, and even he's doing different music. Although I have noticed the two-parters still use "All the Strange, Strange Monsters" in the Previously On recaps.

^No, the previouslies use the new action theme written for Matt Smith's Doctor. It's a track called (near as I can tell) "Next Stop, Everything" It's especially woven in throughout the score for "The Big Bang,"

While they do sound somewhat similar, they are also very clearly different themes.

That said, I think the music this season has been excellent, whimsical, action-filled, suspenseful and touching. When/if they ever release a series 5 soundtrack album I will be first in line to purchase it.

I thought that piece of music was called "Every Star, Every Planet." There's a version that has it done in about a dozen different styles, from pensive to upbeat, presumably to chopped to bits in the editing room to fit whatever the producers need.

I think none of the names are official; they're just what the YouTube folks have called them.

Not that his opinion matters but here's Moffat's reaction to "Big Bang"

His son looks like him when he was younger.

Stevie Moffat- Why doesn't the doctor kiss someone?
