The "Doctor Who" music was written for the Jon Pertwee serial "The Silurians" in the 1970s, if I remember rightly. I recently had the chance to watch the 4-part Tom Baker "Hound of the Baskervilles" again, and have to admit that my initial harsh opinion has mellowed considerably. It's much better than I remembered! (You probably know that Will Knightley, who played Dr Mortimer, is the father of the lovely and far more famous Keira Knightley...) Incidentally, Peter Cushing played the Doctor in a couple of adequate feature films in the 1960s, and Richard E Grant played him in an online animated broadcast - so three actors have played both Sherlock Holmes and the Doctor! And there are four or five Doctor Who novels with Sherlockian & Doylean connections, of course.<br><br>"The Pall Mall Gazette"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
