David Whittaker

Yeah.

So we will start out by taking a listen to Higher and Higher from Ghostbusters II, released sometime in 1989, written for the movie by Gerry Jackson, Raynard Miner, and Carl Smith, arranged for the Commodore 64 by David Whittaker.

[upbeat music] Up next, we're gonna take a listen to Ghostbusters Level Medley from Lego Dimensions, released January 19th, 2016, composed by Ian Livingstone and Rob Westwood.

[upbeat music][music playing] Closing out my first block, we're going to take a listen to Level 3 from The Real Ghostbusters.

[music playing][upbeat music] Coming back in, we are first talking about Higher and Higher from Ghostbusters II, released sometime in 1989.

Again, this is a Commodore 64 release.

Written by Gary Jackson, Raynard Miner, and Carl Smith for the movie, and arranged for this game by David Whittaker.

And, you know, just like it was cool with your opening track to hear the Commodore 64 busting out the original Ghostbusters music, it's kinda cool hearing it do this, you know, somewhat soulful song from the movie.

Next, the Spectrum.

The music on the 128K Spectrum was written by David Whittaker, who did loads of the big games of the '80s.

Here's about 10 seconds of the Spectrum title music.

[Tetris theme]

It's not as rich as the 64, but it's a proper catchy piece of music.

And, uh, finally, the Amiga.

It's David Whittaker again, and the Amiga version uses the same tunes as the Spectrum 128, so this is a good chance to hear the same music on much bigger hardware.

Here's about 10 seconds of the Amiga title music.

And I enrolled on a drama course at Durham Technical College as a 20-year-old.

And while I was there, I met my dear friend, David Whittaker, who sadly has passed away now.

But we formed, met four other people and we set up, we left college and we set up a company called the Lions Theatre Company.

We had nothing, we didn't have any money, anything, or a grant or anything.
