An outlandish beat, a disquieting whistle, the sound of the TARDIS popping in and out of existence lingering in the back… The Doctor Who theme is by far one of the most unique tunes in the history of television. Originally composed by Australian musician Ron Grainer (and Delia Derbyshire, but we’ll get to that), the theme remains pretty much the same since the classic BBC sci-fi series aired its first episode in 1963, with some alterations made by later composers working on the show. This unique theme song has its own wild history behind it. In an era in which now run-of-the-mill synthesizers were still far from becoming a thing, the song was put together through the use of hands-on techniques, from recording jugs of water being poured to simply pressing play on multiple tapes at the same time in order to turn them into a cohesive piece. The result was a distinctive tune that basically introduced the world to the possibilities of electronic music. Add to that a whole in-house debate about who the actual composers of the theme are, and you have yourself a story that deserves to be told.

How Was the Original ‘Doctor Who’ Theme Created?

Back in 1963, the BBC had just created a new science fiction series that few could imagine would become the cultural juggernaut it is today, still making waves more than 60 years after its inception. Doctor Who follows an Earth-obsessed alien who travels through space and time, always with at least one lucky companion tagging along. Things were all set in motion for the show to kick off its very first season, which starred William Hartnell as the first incarnation of the titular Doctor, but among many matters that still needed solving there was the issue of what tune would introduce Britain — and, eventually, the world — to the adventures of the TARDIS crew.

The BBC commissioned Ron Grainer to write the opening theme to its newest show. The piece would then receive a new treatment by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a sound effects project created in 1958 to produce new sounds for the British broadcasting company’s radio and TV stations. More specifically, the theme was to be reworked by the musician Delia Derbyshire, who would go on to become one of the greatest in the history of electronic music, influencing modern acts such as Aphex Twin, Portishead, and The Chemical Brothers. The final result would be something so different and so unique that Grainer himself would have trouble recognizing it as his original composition.

Delia Derbyshire Is Who We Have To Thank for ‘Doctor Who’s Iconic Theme

Grainer was very much aware that the crew at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop employed some very complicated techniques in their projects. Thus, he delivered them a very simple piece of sheet music, with just a handful of instructions such as “wind bubble” and “clouds.” In order to bring Grainer’s vision to life, Derbyshire employed techniques such as filtered white noise, plucking a single string, and hooking up a keyboard to equipment generally used to calibrate recorders.

In the absence of synthesizers and stereo equipment, Derbyshire and her team recorded the sounds in mono, putting them to tape “inch by inch by inch”, in her own words. An entire orchestra was built up from individual notes, as explained by Dick Mills, one of the sound engineers involved in the project. The notes were then cut out and merged together manually, as there was no digital editing software available at the time.

Mills goes on to explain, in an interview with the BBC, that most tunes are divided into three parts: the rhythm, the melody, and the “twiddly bits on top”. Thus, Derbyshire’s team recorded their sound onto three separate tapes that were then loaded into three different machines. In order to put these sounds together, the crew had to press play on the three devices at the same time. In case you’re a music buff and want to go into the specifics of how it all works, there’s a whole website devoted to breaking down the tune. It might sound simple enough, but only in theory: can you even begin to imagine how in sync they had to be for it all to work out in the end? Besides, this early form of multitracking was pretty much unheard of at the time, and Derbyshire and her team employed it for the first time.

The ‘Doctor Who’ Theme Became a Classic, But Derbyshire Was Never Properly Credited for Her Work

The final result of this excruciating work went on to become the iconic theme of Doctor Who for the next seventeen years. Though some changes were made over the course of the series to match the new title sequences, it wasn’t until 1980 that the intro theme received whole new arrangements by Peter Howell, who used analog synthesizers to give the theme a new feel. From then on, composers like Murray Gold and Segun Akinola have also tried their hand at reworking Grainer and Derbyshire’s original composition. However, after all these changes, it is still hard to match the haunting melody of the original score.

But despite having been instrumental to the creation of the theme as we eventually came to know it, Delia Derbyshire was never properly credited for her work. Grainer tried to reason with the BBC to get her name recognized on the piece, but to this day, he remains the only musician credited for the tune. The story goes that this decision was made due to matters of anonymity: the BBC didn’t want the public getting acquainted with the members of the Radiophonic Workshop, wishing to keep it known simply as an ensemble. Nowadays, however, most dedicated fans of the show recognize Derbyshire’s essential role in the making of the series’ theme.

Delia Derbyshire Never Got To See the Revival of ‘Doctor Who’

Still, it is sad to realize the BBC doesn’t extend the same kindness to Derbyshire as Whovians, especially considering how hard of a time she had before getting into the Workshop. Derbyshire once said that her love for abstract music came from the sounds of the air raid sirens during World War II, and she graduated from Cambridge with a BA in both Math and Music. In one of her first attempts to get a job in the recording industry, she was turned down by Decca because the company did not hire women. In 1960, however, she got a job as a trainee at the BBC, and, in 1962, one year before her work on the Doctor Who theme, she was transferred to the Radiophonic Workshop. Throughout her career, she collaborated with names such as Yoko Ono and The Royal Shakespeare Company. She eventually began getting credit for her BBC work, but only after the Doctor Who theme hit television sets.

Derbyshire left the BBC in 1973, feeling out of place in an environment that she perceived as more and more corporate and unfriendly towards creative work. Though she continued to work as a musician in private, she all but disappeared from the public eye. She died in 2001, at the relatively young age of 64, four years before her most famous creation made its way back to public introducing Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor.

The last several years have been challenging for Brandi Glanville, but things seem to be turning around for the mother of two.

While promoting her appearance on season 5 of Fox’s “Special Forces,” the former “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star spoke about her health and her rising medical bills.

During the interview, Brandi Glanville also thanked her “RHOBH” co-star, Kyle Richards, who publicly donated to the 53-year-old’s GoFundMe.

According to The Blast, Glanville’s friend, Gina Rodriguez, set up a GoFundMe page for the Bravo star to help cover her medical expenses related to a long-term illness causing facial disfigurement.

Rodriguez set the goal amount at $28,000 and encouraged Glanville’s supporters to “help Brandi on her journey to get her health back.”

“Brandi has been fighting this for years and still has months of costly treatments and surgeries ahead,” Rodriguez said.

Glanville revealed previously that her medical bills had reached upward of $7,000 per week.

Kaia Gerber is reportedly stepping away from her packed professional schedule as she struggles to process the death of her older brother, Presley Gerber. The 25-year-old model and actress is said to be leaning on her parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, along with boyfriend Lewis Pullman and several longtime friends. Although Kaia has built a successful career of her own, those commitments are reportedly taking a back seat as she mourns the brother she considered her “best friend.”

Kaia Gerber Has Reportedly Delayed Work Commitments

5

According to the Daily Mail, Kaia has postponed several professional obligations following Presley’s death at age 27. “Kaia had a packed schedule, and she has delayed a lot of her work stuff to deal with this. Everyone has been understanding,” a source close to the family told the outlet. “I don’t know when she will go back to work.”

Kaia has maintained a busy career in modeling and acting, but the insider said no timeline has been set for her return. The pause reportedly allows her to remain close to family while processing a loss that still does not feel real.

Presley died on September 20 after he was found unresponsive at Resolutions Living, a recovery facility in Santa Monica, California. His death is being investigated as a suspected overdose, although the official cause and manner remain undetermined.

Presley Gerber’s Death Reportedly ‘Isn’t Sinking In’ For His Sister

5

The insider claimed Kaia is struggling to comprehend that her brother is gone. “Kaia is very sad; it’s hard for her to believe her brother is gone forever. It’s not sinking in just yet; it’s a lot to digest, understandably,” the source told the Daily Mail.

Those closest to the actress are reportedly concerned about how she will handle the loss as the initial shock wears off. “Everyone in the family is worried about Kaia; they fear she won’t be able to handle this, but she has a good network around her. She has old friends that are making her feel better,” the insider continued.

Kaia previously spoke about trying to be the “easy child” while growing up because Presley required significant attention from their parents. Crawford and Gerber had reportedly spent years attempting to help their son as he struggled with addiction that began during his teenage years in the modeling industry. Now, their attention has reportedly turned toward supporting Kaia through the devastating aftermath of his death.

Cindy Crawford And Lewis Pullman Are Among Her ‘Biggest Allies’

5

Kaia is reportedly surrounded by a tight support system, including her parents and boyfriend, Lewis Pullman. “Her biggest allies are her parents and her boyfriend Lewis, even his dad Bill,” the source said.

The model is also said to have received support from friends she has known since growing up in Malibu. “She has plenty of Malibu friends, like a lot of old school pals that have reached out,” the insider shared. “She is well liked for sure.”

Members of Kaia’s celebrity circle have reportedly shown their support as well. “Kendall [Jenner] checked in on her and her mom Kris [Jenner] sent flowers,” the source claimed.

Kaia Gerber Considered Presley Her ‘Best Friend’

5

The loss is reportedly especially painful because of the close bond Kaia shared with Presley. “She and Presley were best friends,” the family source said.

Both siblings began modeling as teenagers and faced the pressures of fame at a young age. However, their paths into the industry unfolded differently. Presley left high school at 15 to pursue modeling opportunities in New York City and Europe. He continued his education while working and graduated at 17. Kaia remained in high school in Malibu through the completion of her junior year before beginning to model full-time at 16.

“Kaia and Presley were seriously decent, nice kids from Malibu who were getting their first taste of fame at the time,” the source said. “They were new models in New York City, and everyone thought they were amazing. They were just learning the ropes, though, and were not used to the ugly side of New York City.”

The siblings eventually returned to California after spending time working in New York.

Presley Gerber’s Cause Of Death Remains Undetermined

5

Presley reportedly checked into Resolutions Living approximately 12 hours before he was found unresponsive on September 20. The Santa Monica Police Department is investigating his death as a suspected overdose. However, the suspected overdose has not been confirmed as the official cause of death.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has completed an autopsy, but the cause and manner of death have been deferred pending toxicology results. Those tests can take several weeks or months to complete.

Police have stated that there is currently no indication of foul play. Investigators are reportedly working to determine the source and supplier of any substances that may have been involved.

Todd Meadows’ final moments were filmed for the Deadliest Catch season 22 finale.

Shortly before Meadows fell overboard the Aleutian Lady vessel in February, he spoke to his three young children via FaceTime call — a touching and heartbroken moment captured by the camera crew and featured on the Friday, September 25, episode.

“I hope you’re being safe. If you’re not being safe, you better be safe,” Meadows’ daughter told her dad during the conversation.

Meadows subsequently reassured his child, noting, “Oh, I’m being safe.” The pair then made plans for a family salmon fishing outing upon his return home.

After the call ended, he tragically died in a fishing-related incident. The moments during and after Meadow’s rescue were captured on film but weren’t shown in the finale episode. Instead, information about his death was displayed on the screen.

“On February 25th, 2026, deckhand Todd Meadows went overboard,” the text read. “After six minutes and 26 seconds in the water, he was recovered unresponsive.”

Elsewhere during the finale, the ship’s captain, Rich Shelford, could be heard telling his crew, “Keep doing CRP! Keep doing CPR! Keep pumping!”

News broke of Meadow’s death in early March.

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Todd Meadows,” a spokesperson for the Discovery Channel said in a statement, announcing Meadow’s death. “This is a devastating loss, and our hearts are with his loved ones, his crewmates, and the entire fishing community during this incredibly difficult time.”

The late fisherman was 25. Green recalled […]

The United States Coast Guard confirmed to Us that Meadows’ body was “recovered unresponsive by the crew” within 10 minutes of him going overboard.

Captain Shelford later called the incident “the most tragic day” in the ship’s history.

“Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family,” Shelford wrote via Facebook at the time. “His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone’s respect right away. His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always.”

He continued, “Todd’s love for his children, his family, and his life was evident in everything he did. He worked hard, loved deeply, and brought joy to those around him. Right now, our hearts are broken in a way that words can’t fully express. We ask that you lift Todd’s children and family in prayer and keep them in your thoughts as they face the days ahead without him.”

Shelford further noted that Meadows ”will forever be part of this boat, this crew and this brotherhood.”

Thank You!

“Though we lost him far too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in every memory we carry of him,” his statement concluded. “Rest easy brother, till we meet again.”

“Todd was doing a great job,” Green  added, believing the accident was “none of Todd’s fault.”

Like other major streaming services, Prime Video also makes original films. And just like its peers, some Prime Video’s movies are polarizing. Still, they are quite successful given the streamer’s extensive global reach, because they usually aren’t subject to the geographical restrictions that licensed films face. Prime Video usually succeeds with romance and crime thrillers, with its current top movies being two romance dramas — You+Me—Against the World and Drawn Together — and Gal Gadot‘s kidnapping thriller The Runner. October brings fresh stories, including romance and thrillers, and one of the streamer’s most anticipated is a wild heist thriller.

Think of this film as Berlin meets Ocean’s Eleven. At the center of the story is a seasoned thief putting together a massive job: stealing the Mona Lisa. But every thief needs a crew, and this guy enlists two young people: Italian cybercrime expert Chiara and a French explosives expert, Jay. However, this thief has a secret that comes out during planning: Chiara and Jay are siblings. It becomes a full family reunion when the thief reveals that he is actually their father. What could have been a straightforward heist is complicated by an unexpected family reunion, and the trio must learn to adjust to each other and work together to pull off one of the biggest heists in history.

Titled Masterplan, the thriller was directed by seasoned action director Thomas Vincent, known for working on shows like Prime Video’s hit thriller Reacher and Netflix’s 2019 thriller Bodyguard. Vincent co-wrote the script with Versailles‘ creator and writer David Wolstencroft. The duo previously worked together on Versailles. Stanley Tucci leads the crime thriller, joined by The White Lotus Season 2 breakout star Simona Tabasco as the sharp Chiara and Lie with Me‘s Victor Belmondo as the swaggering Jay. Masterplan debuts on Prime Video on October 16.

‘Masterplan’ Is a Chaotic Heist Thriller

Prime Video has already released a trailer that previews the film’s goofy, chaotic vibe. Tucci plays the irreverent thief with a touch of comedy while the situation between the three main characters creates plenty of material for jokes. And since this is a heist thriller, viewers can expect action, explosions, hacking, and police chases in the streets of Paris. It looks like the kind of movie that allows you to kick back and enjoy the ride without thinking too much about the plot.

Masterplan streams on October 16 on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Bill Watterson‘s Calvin and Hobbes began its syndicated run in the fall of 1985, ending 10 years later on December 31, 1995, with thousands of strips seen in thousands of newspapers nationwide. Calvin and Hobbes took time to evolve, not only with the number of people who read it, but also with an evolution in Watterson’s style.

By the time the ’90s rolled around, the comic was just as popular as the likes of Peanuts, Garfield, and The Far Side. Calvin and Hobbes only ended because Watterson was ready to walk away before his creation lost its spark. The quality never diminished. As this list will show, Calvin and Hobbes got better every year, including at the very end.

The Torment of Existence Weighed Against the Horror of Nonbeing (December 5, 1993)

Image via Bill Watterson

Some of Calvin and Hobbes‘ best comic strips were published in the winter, with Calvin outside in the snow building snowmen. His resulting art is an outlet for his imagination, which is often very dark. So many comics involve him making poor snowmen who suffer greatly, whether he has them being hit by a car or gutted with a cannonball. In this one, Calvin isn’t happy with a traditional, boring snowman that someone else built. He’s a nihilist who wants to comment on how dull modern art is while also portraying how snowmen suffer as they melt. Hobbes admires that Calvin puts art above commercialism, but upon realizing that he’d rather be popular and make money, Calvin decides to make a regular snowman instead.

Human Hunting Deer (February 26, 1995)

In today’s society, with so many horrific mass shootings in America, this comic wouldn’t be published. To see it now is to give the reader a jolt. However, if you can put this aside and see Watterson’s vision as it was intended during its time, what you get is one of his most clever entries. Several panels don’t include Calvin or Hobbes at all, instead settling on a story in a dull office interrupted by gunfire. Then comes the first twist: the deer are the shooters, who treat people just like we treat them. The second twist shows that the story is all from the twisted mind of Calvin, who is enthusiastically reading his story in front of his class, resulting in his parents being called to school again.

Calvin’s Mom Brings Hobbes in Out of the Rain (October 3, 1993)

Hobbes is not a real tiger who walks and talks — he’s a stuffed animal turned real in the imagination of Calvin’s mind. Every now and then, outside of Calvin’s thoughts, we see Hobbes as the toy he really is. In this one, Calvin and Hobbes, forever best friends, begin their morning together before school. Calvin takes Hobbes as far as he can go, saying goodbye to him from the bus as Hobbes sits in the rain. His mother sees all, and as soon as the bus pulls away, she brings Hobbes in from the rain because she knows how much he means to her son. It’s a sweet strip that goes for the heartstrings even harder in the last two panels, as both boy and tiger think only about seeing each other again.

Calvin Plays With His Dad (January 14, 1990)

Image via Bill Watterson

Calvin has a complicated relationship with his parents. He’s often an annoyance to them, and even though they love their son, it’s easy to get frustrated with his antics. Calvin’s father is particularly insensitive to his son many times. He seems to be a good man, but he works too much and ignores his child. When he is there, it’s as a disciplinarian who wants to build character. Here, Calvin comes in from the snow wanting only to play with his dad. His father has his own work responsibilities and can’t. However, as he watches his boy play outside, what’s really important comes to him, and together they build a snowman before going back in to Mom. Calvin and Hobbes was often dark, but this one is all about the family this lonely boy is lucky to have.

Calvin and Susie Play Doctor (November 18, 1990)

Image via Bill Watterson

He’ll never admit it, but Calvin is totally smitten with his next-door neighbor, Susie Derkins. She’s a normal girl who only wants to be friends with Calvin. Calvin wants this too, but because this friend is a girl, he resists his romantic feelings, which are often mocked by Hobbes. In this strip, Calvin and Susie play doctor. The majority of the strip, with its amazing animation, is like a soap opera, with Calvin portrayed as an older doctor and Susie his patient. Upset that her pretend injury is nothing more than a hurt foot, Calvin insists on giving her a lobotomy, resulting in an argument. Now all alone with Hobbes, Calvin is upset about how she acted. What he’s really upset with, though, is that Susie is gone, as shown by Hobbes, who smiles as he dreams of playing doctor with his crush.

Farmer Brown’s Demise (April 11, 1993)

Image via Bill Watterson

This strip is a brilliant piece of art, with so much going on in just a few frames. It begins with a commercial plane on fire plummeting to Earth. At the same time, a freight train is shown jumping the tracks as an earthquake begins below. A far-away shot shows these three acts of destruction all heading to the country home of Farmer Brown, just as he’s about to light a match in front of a gas leak. The last panel shows that this is all from the imagination of Calvin, who is holding toys in his hands. Hobbes is there too, but this is too much. Before the impending explosion, Hobbes shares that he’d like to play something else. The comic portrays how demented Calvin’s boyish imagination can be. It’s also a showcase for Watterson’s skills as an amazing artist.

2

The Dead Bird (September 19, 1993)

Calvin and Hobbes is funny, dark, weird, and sometimes sweetly wholesome. Bill Watterson also takes a look at very serious subjects, such as death, and how it’s seen through the eyes of a learning child. The initial image reels you in with a highly detailed black-and-white illustration of a dead bird. The following panels show Calvin and Hobbes finding the dead bird and having a conversation about it. Calvin is trying to comprehend the fragility of life and how people take everything for granted despite our limited time on Earth. He lets go of it by supposing it’ll all make sense when he grows up. Sitting under a tree silently, Calvin and Hobbes ponder it all. They’re not taking each other for granted.

The Final Strip (December 31, 1995)

On New Year’s Eve 1995, Calvin and Hobbes came to an end. Just how do you sum up such an influential strip with one comic? It’s like trying to come up with the perfect series finale for a TV show. Bill Watterson didn’t go for some shocker, with Hobbes coming to life. Instead, he summed up everything the comic was with Calvin and Hobbes going sledding in the woods. They are excited about the new snow and all the possibilities it holds. Calvin calls it a magical world and says, “Let’s go exploring.” Calvin and Hobbes has always been about two friends, even if one is imaginary, exploring life together and having fun. As we say goodbye, we know they’ll continue on okay without us.

Kendall Jenner had a very special guest in the audience while closing Bottega Veneta’s presentation at Milan Fashion Week: her boyfriend, Jacob Elordi.

Jenner, 30, closed the Saturday, September 26, show in a draped black gown, while Elordi, 29, was spotted watching the show from the front row in now-viral social media footage.

The Dog Stars actor, a Bottega ambassador himself, was also photographed snapping a pic of Jenner as she strutted past his seat.

Jenner and Elordi, who have never publicly addressed their relationship, have been romantically linked since April 2025.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi’s romance is heating up. “Kendall and Jacob have become very close recently,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They were excited to get away to Hawaii and have some downtime together.” Jenner, 30, and Elordi, 28, were spotted in Kauai, Hawaii, earlier this month. Us previously confirmed their newfound romance […]

“They are very serious and exclusive,” a source exclusively told Us in July of the Oscar nominee’s romance with the supermodel. “Everyone around them can see how madly in love they are and how well their relationship works.”

Per the insider, Jenner and Elordi have found many common interests.

“They both share a love for the outdoors, so traveling together and escaping into nature has become one of their favorite ways to spend quality time,” the source told Us at the time. “Friends think Jacob brings out the best in Kendall, and she is really happy right now. Everyone approves of him, and it’s going well so far.”

Kendall’s famous family has also given her new beau their stamp of approval, with half-brother Brody Jenner recently shutting down rumors that their blended brood were allegedly concerned that Elordi wasn’t contributing financially to their getaways.

“I can confirm that this is clickbait,” Brody, 43, wrote via Instagram comment last month, adding a thumbs-down emoji while denying the claims.

Prior to her romance with Elordi, the Kardashians star dated Devin Booker and Bad Bunny, respectively.

“I’m actually in a, like, me era right now,” Kendall said on a January episode of the “In Your Dreams” podcast when quizzed about her love life. “When I turned 29, I remember saying to myself, I do feel like I’ve been in [relationships] and there’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve had great relationships, I’ve had not-so-great relationships, but I felt like through my 20s, I was in a lot. I was in a few long-term consistent relationships … near each other.”

She added, “I never really had my 20s to myself. When I turned 29, I made a minor commitment to myself. I was, like, ‘I’m not going to reject anything [and] I’m going to stay open to anything that feels like it would suit me,’ but I really wanted to have a ‘me year’ where I chose myself.”
