Day 261: Doctor Who and the Silurians Episode 4

I'm half tempted to write this blog entry about the credits. Not because there's not much to write about in this story (because there most certainly is), but because they're slightly wrong. The music, you see, runs for slightly too long. It means that the music comes to a natiral end when the credits are only 7/8 of the way to the end, meaning that some meaningless filler music has to be added to the end of the credits, lessening the impact tof the show's signature tune. I'd normally pass this over as just a minor production issue, however it betrays a certain something about the way in which the show has undergone such a drastic change. The series has not only gained a new Doctor, a new setting and a new method of storytelling, but it has also gone into colour and changed so much of how the series is run as a result of this. What this means is that the new production team is left somewhat awkwardly runnign about dealing with problems that they've never really experienced before. Cracks begin to show, but we can accept them as teething troubles. It's not the best, but the story is alright, and if there are mild issues with the production as long as the story is good, then all is reasonably well.

But that said, I am bloody annoyed that they named this story Doctor Who and the Silurians.
