I feel you trying to understand what the Zygons were saying, I couldn't understand them myself. I've found watching movies/tv shows with closed captions on helps me to understand what's being said sometimes.

I’m with you on the closed captions as I watch stuff with closed captions all the time, myself. Reasons being like how you said, in some cases it helps me understand what’s being said in a show or film. Sometimes it helps me maintain focus as there are times like how Jess does where I talk/think out loud during quieter moments of a show or film, and the captions often indicate something’s about to happen, and it redirects my focus to the show or film.

2023-04-05 17:41:00 Thanks for another great reaction. Admittedly the Zygons are a little tough to understand in places. I guess I've only picked it up due to watching this one so many times. One of the lines you missed is when the leader said that they depend on the moster which produces lactic fluid, which presumably they eat/drink for survival. I love this story for its charm and eeriness & feel it's done in a scarier way than how they come across in New Who. On UNIT stories & you getting worried about when they might stop, well I'm erring on the side of caution & assuming you don't want spoilers in that regard. See you next time!

Hi Jess. I hope everything is heading in the right direction regarding your health. Getting over it can be a bit of a haul. Now, regarding the sound quality, having watched these on original release, I get the feeling that the years, plus transferal to the newer tech, hasn't been exactly kind. Remembering back - and, as with some of the incidental music tracks - I had no difficulty understanding the alien voices or felt that the electronic music was harsh. I believe the sound engineers were professional enough not to mistreat their own hearing whilst they were working on the series, let alone the viewer's hearing. My cousin, who knows more about these things tried explaining it to me. Sadly, try as I might, I find it difficult to retain verbal info over the phone and haven't found anything that fully explains the issues involved. Having sound sensitivity myself, I doubt that I would have watched the series so avidly and bought the records of the electronic music had my ears suffered as a result. Mind you, Angus Lennie and his bagpipes. OOOH deary me.

That is a consistent issue with older media of film in tv is that the audio can be tricky to transfer to newer technology, and in some cases, it can be trickier to contend with than transferring the visuals to newer technology. For example, I've seen older presentations of 1931’s Dracula and there was a very sharp hissing sound throughout the film, most probably as a result of the age of the film combined with the difficulty of transferring it to newer technologies such as vhs, laserdisc, or dvd. Recent blu-ray copies of the film that I own, though not perfect, have largely eliminated the hissing sound. I’ve also heard with Vertigo that around when it was released on dvd, the sound mix was something of a botched job. When it debuted on blu-ray in 2012 I believe it was, they had corrected the issue. It’s always a gamble, and like you observed, there’s a strong possibility that the transferal of Classic Who to newer technology may not have been particularly kind to such aspects of the audio tracks especially.

Yes, it's a shame. My vinyl and tape versions definitely sound sweeter than these modern pickups. Certainly not kind to the radiophonics that were so painstakingly put together by such eminent artists such as Delia - given very short thrift in the 'Adventures' 50th Anniversary - and Malcolm Clarke. Poor old Tristram Cary gets it every time for his use of older instruments. Amazing really, how some fans of such an experimental show, such as Doctor Who, are so amazingly conservative and distracted when it comes to the music. Yet they accept the theme! - iconic. I can't imagine The Sea Devils without Clarke's unique score. I can't imagine it at all with scoring by Dudley Simpson. I played my Doctor Who: The Music record to death, Oh well.

I collect a fair amount of soundtracks, mostly for film and theatre, some for tv, and yeah, it’s tricky sometimes. Sometimes like with Jerry Goldsmith’s scores for the Omen trilogy, they had a great presentation on cd circa 2001 I believe it was, which I listen to a lot. By contrast, the copy of Basil Poledouris’s score for The Hunt for Red October that I own is somewhat scratchy and a touch faint at times, and I keep trying to find a better copy. Then there’s cases like Anton Karas’s score for The Third Man and/or Bernard Herrmann’s score for Vertigo which have multiple releases, and I had to listen to samples to determine which was the optimal option to go with. Soundtracks for tv is an even bigger gamble in my experience, though it’s gotten better with more modern tv. Then again, I'm still waiting for the Doctor Who soundtrack for Peter’s final season as Twelve. It really is a shame that there isn’t greater care for some of the scores for Classic Who, such as, as you highlighted, Malcolm Clarke’s scoring for The Sea Devils. Worse still how it’s difficult and expensive to track down some of the records.

It makes me glad that I grabbed Doctor Who: The Music from Andy's Records in Ipswich when I saw it! I'm glad that Malcolm Clarke came back to do, at least, two more in the Davison era.
