I suggest anyone who has ever messed with Mellotron tapes (which is most of the people on this list) read the following site on how the original Doctor Who theme was made.  http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Mark_Ayres/DWTheme.htm
And to hear a portion of the theme, go to http://www.dwwa.net/dr1/Theme1.wav

Excellent article, Bill - thanks for posting the link! I knew the melody was played on laboratory oscillators, but I didn't know it was done a note at a time... What about the vibraphone you can hear quite clearly on the recording?
