@@DonNeutron004 No he didn't. The Shada score is by Mark Ayres with allusions to City of Death. Ayres hoped to work with Simpson on the score but Simpson passed away.
@@chebroadnaxI don’t know why specifically myself, but given how they treated the classic 1960s episodes’ master copies, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just due to them being incredibly stupid.
@@naedanger123Why would it make sense in the 1970s to retain the recordings of music for a programme that had already been dubbed and broadcast? Hindsight is affecting your thinking. It makes sense to do so today, but not in the 1970s.
@@DemetriusSorvo Why’d they even bother keeping any kind of master tapes at all then? Just destroy them all, save the effort of storing them. People back then still thought it was important to try to preserve original film and recordings, it was just far more difficult to do so as it was all fragile physical media. You’re just underestimating how stupid the BBC are, and have always been.
I know that some of Dudley's music, especially the original source tapes went 'walkies', but with the software available nowadays, I would have thought that the soundtrack for City of Death could be lifted from the story. Shada, now that is tricky. No disrespect to Dudley, but I prefer the one used for the version that had Tom doing the links even if Mark says that his is as close to what Dudley would have done if he had been given the opportunity
Easily my favourite piece of non-theme tune music from the classic series
Dudley Simpson: Classic Who's Murray Gold!!!
You aren’t wrong!
Did Dudley Simpson write the music for shade?
@@diamondaxe4133 Yes.

Lovely stuff from Dudley Simpson. It is such a shame all his written music was destroyed by the BBC. Nice though to hear what has survived.
This has been beautifully re-recorded.
WHAT, DESTROYED?! WHY?!

Quite possibly some of my favourite classic who music
0 second to 25 seconds ❤ best part ever
Great effort, Mark, for the Dudleyesque sound!
Sounds Fantastic! 👍
