Dr Who theme composer dead at 82

Just noticed this on news.com.au

“TRISTRAM Cary, the composer of the Dr Who theme tune and a pioneer of electronic music, has died in Adelaide aged 82.

…

He died last week at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.”

As a Dr Who - aphile I have many fond childhood memories of the haunting theme music of this (originally) kitsch and brilliant sci-fi series from BBC. I’ve also enjoyed the light entertainment provided by the new series.
