MEMS facts to watch in 2011!
For this first issue of MEMSTrends 2011, we would like to highlight what we think will be the most important MEMS areas to watch in 2011.
First, as 2010 came to a close, we have identified first signals of what could be a re-org of the MEMS business and supply chain. This is just happening for the microphone business. If we look are the supply chain, we will see fragmentation of the activities with some processing wafers, others packaging the dies and finally a third player selling the microphones. This change could also impact other MEMS devices as well such as inertial. It means that, at the end, the sensor will not be sold by the one that make the MEMS, and this change will not concern only MEMS foundries.
Another point could be a MEMS company going IPO in 2011. There has been a lot of buzz about InvenSense IPO at the end of 2010 (which was postponed). While there are not so many MEMS companies that are likely to go IPO for 2011, we do believe another IPO could happen in 2011. On the M&A side, we believe more M&A are coming: end of December Dalsa has been acquired by Teledyne. This is the first starting point of a new wave of change of ownership for MEMS companies.
At the system level, multi-chip integration module is becoming increasingly used. This is particularly true for consumer applications for IMUs devices. In 2011, we will see as common the integration of accelerometers and gyroscopes and magnetometers as well. One likely evolution will be the integration of a pressure sensor, still for positioning applications (altimeter measurement for GPS). In general, inertial sensors will be again key growth areas for MEMS devices.
Another important fact is that 2011 could also be the year when RF MEMS switches will enter into volume production, specifically for cell phone applications. At the end of 2010, we have identified two players in qualification / pre-production with big plans for 2011.
Another topic is the growth for the uncooled IR applications. Uncooled IR players are struggling to get the cost down to enter the consumer applications. This is a challenging area for MEMS. Although microbolometers will be the dominant uncooled IR technology for the next years, we are far from a US$10 cost target. We see two approaches competing together. The microbolometers players, working hard on the design, materials and packaging side are trying to lower the cost. Big advantage is that resolution is good. On the other side, other approaches (e.g. using pyroelectric sensors) are being developed to increase the resolution while keeping very low cost. Through 2011, we believe some announcements could prove which way will be the best in efficiency/ cost effectiveness.
The optical MEMS market for fiber optic telecommunications will prove it is rising again. After a 10-year long cold winter, MEMS-based micro-mirrors are back on the scene for wavelength switching. For those of you who have known the 2000 Telecom Bubble Burst, this will be refreshing news!
On the manufacturing side, an interesting trend started a few years ago to achieve standardization of MEMS processing. The different approaches included both technology platforms and product platforms. Both aimed at developing custom-made standard MEMS manufacturing processes. An example is Dalsa with its technology platform. The objective will be for the foundries to lower the development time for new products, to decrease the time-to-market and of course to lower the cost. As second-source manufacturing partnership is still scare in MEMS, such approaches could open the way to standard MEMS processing.
In 2011, we also believe CMOS-MEMS will stay a niche technology as room temperature bonding will allow CMOS & IC interconnection without the CMOS constraints. Some MEMS will still use CMOS processes because of array structure (micro-mirrors) or because of the proximity between IC and MEMS (e.g. oscillators). But as an example, Microbolometers are today shifting from CMOS MEMS where MEMS is processed above the ROIC to wafer bonding approach.
On the material side, we also see two materials having more and more importance in the MEMS manufacturing. One is glass. Glass wafers are already used for capping and in some cases, with Through Glass Vias (TGV) for electrical interconnects. But glass wafers will gain more importance through microfluidics applications as well. Another material back on the MEMS scene is PZT. Piezo MEMS seem to have new interest and this is also largely because of new promising applications such as Wafer Level AutoFocus. On the European scene, new European projects are currently studying the different processing approaches for PZT thin films deposition.
To conclude, there will be many interesting stories to follow for 2011. Stay tune to our different MEMS Medias. This is Yole's everyday goal to keep you aware of latest MEMS business evolution.

Rogersville is a town in Lauderdale County, Alabama, United States. As of the 2000 census, the population of the town is 1,199. It is part of the Florence - Muscle Shoals Metropolitan Statistical Area known as "The Shoals".
The town became an incorporated municipality on February 2, 1858.[1] Originally known as "Rodgersville", it took its name from Andrew and Patience Rodgers of South Carolina who moved into the area and purchased 79.8 acres (323,000 m2) at a public land sale in Huntsville on May 3, 1818. Their land eventually became what is now the downtown business district.[2] When the Rogersville Post Office was established on October 4, 1825 with Thomas Cunningham as the postmaster, the 'd' was dropped from the town's name and it has been known as Rogersville ever since.[1]
The town became a popular trading center due in part to its location near the intersection of three early thoroughfares, U.S. 72, Snake Road and Lamb's Ferry Road. U.S. 72, which now connects Chattanooga and Memphis, TN, was once part of an Indian trail from Ditto's Landing on the Tennessee River south of Huntsville and was used to bypass the Muscle Shoals river barrier. Snake Road leads out of Rogersville into neighboring Limestone County and provided passage from Florence to Athens by way of a shallow ford across Elk River. Lamb's Ferry Road was named for John Lamb who moved from Indian Creek in Giles County, TN in 1816 to establish a ferry across the Tennessee River south of what would later become Rogersville. Lamb's Ferry became an important river port where boats from Knoxville and other points on the upper Tennessee River would unload supplies that were taken over land to areas around Pulaski, TN.[3]
Rogersville is located at 34°49′24″N 87°17′8″W / 34.82333°N 87.28556°W (34.823444, -87.285693).[4] According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 3.1 square miles (8.0 km2), all of it land.
As of the census[5] of 2000, there were 1,199 people, 536 households, and 361 families residing in the town. The population density was 389.6 people per square mile (150.3/km²). There were 604 housing units at an average density of 196.3 per square mile (75.7/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 93.08% White, 5.67% Black or African American, 0.17% Native American, 0.42% Asian, 0.08% from other races, and 0.58% from two or more races. 0.42% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There were 536 households out of which 26.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 51.1% were married couples living together, 12.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 32.5% were non-families. 31.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 19.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.24 and the average family size was 2.79.
In the town the population was spread out with 22.2% under the age of 18, 7.3% from 18 to 24, 24.7% from 25 to 44, 24.4% from 45 to 64, and 21.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years. For every 100 females there were 83.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 79.8 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $29,779, and the median income for a family was $37,639. Males had a median income of $30,852 versus $18,571 for females. The per capita income for the town was $16,435. About 10.2% of families and 14.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 19.2% of those under age 18 and 15.7% of those age 65 or over.

By ANN KEIL6 News Reporter
TEN MILE (WATE) -- The judge presiding over Leon Houston's retrial has asked the Roane County Criminal Court Clerk's Office to summon more potential jurors for his upcoming trial. That would raise the number from 500 to 700.
Leon and his brother, Rocky Houston, are charged with the fatal shootings of Roane County Deputy Bill Jones and his friend, a ride along civilian named Mike Brown, in May 2006.
"God's truth, I'm a nervous wreck," Leon says.
Houston knew nothing about the additional summons until Wednesday night. He says it deepened his mistrust of the clerk's office.
He also says there's a conflict of interest due to a unrelated lawsuit he filed against the clerk, Angela Barnes. He accuses her of ignoring court orders and tampering with the jury pool.
"What bothers me is, these potential jurors have been gathered together in an attempt to maliciously prosecute the Houston brothers by people who are in conflict of interest and who are refusing to take their hands off of our civil rights," Leon says.
The clerk's office wouldn't respond to these allegations, but it said presiding Judge David Hayes excused a large number of people from the jury pool.
Leon's first trial ended in a hung jury in July 2008.
Rocky's first trial in December 2008 concluded with no verdict in Jones' death, but a not guilty finding in the killing of Brown.
The brothers were released on bonds in March after nearly three years in jail.
Another concern for Leon is "An East Tennessee Nightmare Lying in Wait," a book written by Babette Antoniak about what allegedly happened during the deadly shootout.
"It's trash. It's a lie form start to finish. It's an attempt to taint the jury pool in Roane County against the Houston brothers," he says.
Rocky is equally disturbed. "All Rocky and Leon Houston need is one justice seeker, just one justice seeker. That's all it takes to get a mistrial out here," Rocky says.
Leon Houston will back in court Thursday, July 23 for a motions hearing. His trial date has been set for August 10.
Rocky Houston told 6 News his attorney, Randy Rogers, might withdraw from his case.
Rocky says the reason for the change is because Rogers may be asked to take the stand in his brother's upcoming trial.
Rogers was unavailable for comment Wednesday night.

H.W. Brass Saver Cleaning BrushesBrass Saver brass cleaning brushes are a must for any brass player. Sediments that collect inside brass tubing can impede sound, playability and sanitation. The trumpet set includes the mouthpipe pull-thru brush and a double-ended stick brush for valve casings and tubing, designed to fit through the narrowest of mouthpipes. The versatile slide pull-thru brush fits even the third valve slide, and the valve and tubing brush is so rugged it gets in and really scrubs the tubing and valve casings.With the trombone set, you can clean out your entire trombone slide in one simple step. The larger slide brush will clean both the outer and tuning slides. The smaller mouthpipe brush is specially designed to fit the narrowing in the mouthpipe.The tuba set includes a mouthpipe pull-thru brush, a slide pull-thru brush, and a valve and tubing brush, which together make the ultimate cleaning system for the big job of keeping the big horn in great playing shape.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This product is amazing. I've found that the best way to use it is to simply run the snake part through the lead pipe and main tuning slide after every playing session. This absorbs all of the water and helps prevent rusting from the inside. the valve casing brush is really nice as well. I like how the whole thing is non-abrasive so it keeps the insides of my horn unscratched. a great buy for what it costs! Get one of these
This cleaning kit is the best cleaning kit I have ever found in all my 39 years of playing. I have tried them all, but no other comes close to this kit. It's very easy to use & won't scratch the inside of your horn like some of the other rough wires do.
They say you can use them wet or dry,but when used dry, the valve casing brush will lock up your valves with the fibers that get caught on the valve guides.The snake for the lead and slide pipes work great.
I currently own 10 classic Bb trumpets and Cornets. Because all of my instruments are rare and collectable I like to keep them in perfect condition, which includes cleaning on a regular scheduled basis. I have used every kind of cleaning aid that is out there and by far the Brass Saver brushes are the very best.
This is the best cleaning kit ever. I was able to push the lead down the bell, around the back crook, and through the connecting tubes between the valves, and out the 3rd valve slide, and pull it through. When was the last time you were able to clean those short tubes between the valves? (Of course it will depend on how the tubes between the valves line up, but it worked on my 'Strad). I like the fact that the lead is nylon, too, so you don't have to worry about scratching anything. The valve brush is nice, too, as it's big enough that you can get a good grip on it when you're using it, unlike the little wire/nylon brushes I was used to using. This kit makes all other cleaning products obsolete. I'm buying one for my son and my niece, too.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Vermont GOP expected to offer amendment to budgetBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | March 28,2013MONTPELIER – Having failed in their bid to derail a tax bill that would raise more than $20 million in new revenue next year, House Republicans have now turned their focus toward changing the ways in which Democrats want to spend the money.
The GOP super-minority will offer an amendment to the budget Friday that would ax spending on new programs and redirect the money to buy down public-pension obligations and bolster rainy-day reserves.
The amendment will undoubtedly fail, and by a wide margin. But House Minority Leader Don Turner said his caucus is at least making its points.
"Vermont needs to get its fiscal house in order,"Turner said Thursday. "It's already very expensive to live in Vermont. And these (budget and tax) bills make it much, much worse."
Turner said that at the outset of the session, he presented House Speaker Shap Smith with the conditions that would be needed to earn his caucus' support for the fiscal year 2014 spending plan. They included: an overall spending increase of not more than 3 percent; limiting new employees to the 17 positions needed to staff the new state hospital; and the creation of a $20 million reserve to absorb looming cuts in federal aid.
"We knew full well we wouldn't achieve everything on this, but we hoped to see some movement on some," Turner said. "This budget being brought to the floor does not do that."

Construction Experts Share Concerns, Solutions on Work Site Safety at ASSE Event
Des Plaines, IL (November 24, 2008) —
From developing and implementing a drug abuse program to hiring contractors with an effective safety culture to utilizing innovative programs were just a few of the topics discussed by construction industry experts from around the country at the recent American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) Construction Safety Symposium in Arizona.
"I was impressed with the number of attendees who came from every corner of the U.S. to attend this symposium and their breadth of experience," ASSE Regional Vice President James G. Gallup, P.E., CSP, of Rolf Jensen &Associates, Inc., of Prescott Valley, Arizona, said Friday. "It shows that the attendees and their respective companies are doing the right thing and were anxious to share their success stories here and learn of other new initiatives taking place in the industry resulting in construction projects being completed before deadline, injury free and saving millions of dollars."
"What you bring to the job," T. Shane Bush, CPT, president of BushCo., Inc., Idaho Falls, ID, told attendees, "is intellectual property – something that is skyrocketing in value in businesses. Your skills as safety professionals help you identify problems and develop solutions often preventing an injury or a disaster from occurring. Should an incident occur, you must continue to show leadership and look beyond the what to the why. Context is key."
Symposium sessions included topics on leading indicators in safety management, crane safety, quick hazard recognitions, fall prevention, litigation issues, accident reporting, slips/trips and falls, and a panel discussion on big projects and their challenges. Becoming a profit center over a cost center was also a key topic.
"You can go from a cost center to a profit center by showing, in one way, how you as safety professionals help reduce your company's workers compensation costs," Dan P. O'Brien, CSP, of TX, and a presenter on leading indicators, said. "By doing your job you not only sustain your company's good reputation and credibility but help manage and reduce employee health care and workers compensation costs, turnover and much, much more. In fact you help shore up and increase insurance reserves."
"Because safety is our core value one of the results we have seen is that in five years our workers comp costs have been reduced by 70 percent," John M. Isham, CSP, CIH, safety director of URS – Washington Division, of Denver, CO, told attendees during the big project presentation. "The pillars of our safety culture are integrity and candor, safety, accountability and responsibility, cooperation and efficiency, and competence and professional behavior. We have 25,000 employees in 40 states and 30 countries; have managed 84 million exposure hours with a total recordable case rate of .80, and a .10 days away case rate."
Isham presented an overview of the multi-year, multi-million dollar project called the Olmstead Dam project. The project is one of the largest U.S. civil projects in the country where they are building a 2,700 foot concrete dam across the Ohio River on one of the busiest waterway corridors in the U.S., a major commerce throughway.
"Olmstead dam is where the busiest stretch of commercial navigation for inland waterways is located," Isham said. "Our project involves working with several cranes including a gantry crane that lifts 5100 tons and barges including a catamaran barge that can lift 4500 tons and an Aquadigger with an 85 foot reach."
Isham noted the many challenges in working 'in the wet' but said because of their focus on safety, planning, training and communications the project has been going very well.
URS's Olmstead Dam safety program includes monthly safety walks, kickoff safety orientations, key personnel certifications including Safety Trained Supervisors (STS), CSPs, OHSTs and CHSTs, an active safety committee, ongoing safety communications including monthly banner/poster program and a companywide stretch and flex program that has resulted in a reduction of soft tissue injury rates by 15 – 20 percent.
Speaker Jay Greenspan, JMJ Associates of Austin, TX, noted another illustration of how an effective safety process resulted in the savings of millions of dollars for one company. "As a result of a large U.S. oil company, Chevron, going above and beyond when it came to safety in building a large multi-billion dollar plant in the Middle East, they finished the project three months ahead of time, 20 million dollars under budget and setting a company record," Greenspan said. "They had 13 million hours of work with only three recorded injuries. How? They put safety first, treated all workers equally, and provided training in all languages, personal protection equipment, great working conditions and much, much more.
"Management needs to know, like Chevron, URS and Skanska know, that profitability is credibility when it comes to safety," Greenspan said. "The safety department is a profit center, not just a cost center. Paul O'Neill formerly at Alcoa knew it. By investing in safety and workers you lower costs and increase profit while keeping employees and customers happy."
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE and its more than 32,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members are committed to protecting people, property and the environment.

Development of radio technology > Early research by commercial companies
The first commercial company to be incorporated for the manufacture of radio apparatus was the Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company, Ltd. (England) in July 1897 (later changed to Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company, Ltd.); other countries soon showed an interest in the commercial exploitation of radio.
Among the major developments of the first two decades of the 20th century was De Forest's discovery in 1912 of the oscillating properties of his Audion tube, a discovery that led to the replacement of the spark transmitter by an electronic tube oscillator that could generate much purer radio waves of relatively stable frequency. By 1910, radio messages between land stations and ships had become commonplace, and in that year the first air-to-ground radio contact was established from an aircraft. A landmark transmission came in 1918, when a radiotelegraph message from the Marconi long-wave station at Caernarvon, in Wales, was received in Australia, over a distance of 11,000 miles (17,700 kilometres).
Though early experiments had shown that speech could be transmitted by radio, the first significant demonstration was not made until 1915 when the American Telephone & Telegraph Company successfully transmitted speech signals from west to east across the Atlantic between Arlington, Virginia, and Paris. A year later, a radiotelephone message was conveyed to an aircraft flying near Brooklands (England) airfield. In 1919 a Marconi engineer spoke across the Atlantic in the reverse direction from Ballybunion, Ireland, to the United States.
From 1920 onward radio made phenomenal progress through research activities in Europe, North America, and Asia. The invention of the electron tube and later the transistor (1948) made possible remarkable developments.

Chloé WangPosted in Pics on March 4th, 2011 by Jody
There's been nonstop chatter on Twitter this week about Charlie Sheen, but there have also been plenty of tweets about K-pop boy band Big Bang's new music video "Tonight", particularly about Daesung's female love interest in the video. It was posted on YouTube only four days ago but has already been viewed almost two million times. Here is the MV:
Who's the girl? It's 18-year-old Chinese-American pop singer Chloé Wang.
A little bit about Chloé: She is from Chicago, born to and raised by a Chinese father and a Caucasian mother. She moved to Beijing to pursue a singing career, and she released her debut single "Uh Oh" in both English and Mandarin. She then moved to Los Angeles where, amongst other projects, she worked with Nick Cannon and Aaron Fresh on a Teen Nick series called The Nightlife.
There are some biographical similarities here with Jessica Cambensy: a pretty half-Chinese, half-Caucasian teenage girl from Chicago goes to Asia to become a star, then to Los Angeles with the goal of making it big in the States as well.
Chloé is on Twitter, YouTube, and Formspring, and has a Facebook profile (which just reached its friend limit) and a newly created Facebook page.
For more info, pics, and video, check out MTV Iggy, Channel APA, and Cfensi, and this forum discussion.

>... i think this could be a ss3 problem with a lot of folders...
Of how many folders/images are we talking about on your system. So far I was not able to reproduce the error, so it´s hard to fix. Can you provide (limited) backend access to your domain so I can check whats going on (via PM)?
>If i generally look most people who shoot at for instance 10MP pictures wich will be large 2 - 5MB dont know how to resize so it would be a bit more professional to have it sesized on the server side.
Fully agree. My only concern is the PHP script excecution time and memory limit. Guess if you have lots (>50) of really big images (20..30 MB each), it will need quite a lot of page loads and time to create the thumbnails. Have you already used my module with lots of big sized images - if yes what´s your experience with thumbnail creation / page loads etc?
>For the download... Its not really important but somehow easy. I have it myself allready hardcoded in the .ss files.
Just curious. What method have you used to send the file to the browser (SS_HTTPRequest::send_file, HTML5 download or external scripts)?
Will think of adding those features with a the next release in case other users find this usefull as well.

for the download i use external script download.php, put in the root folder, for just not opening the file but download it...
for the download in the .ss template i use:

<% loop $AlbumImages %>

<% include CreateThumbnail %>

download $Caption

<% end_loop %>
And of course i have made the spacing in the css-file more so the line can be under the picture
for the recalculation of the pictures ive never had any problems... first i worked on a nasserver with 1gb ram and 1.6 mobile processor... for picturefolders with more than 80 pictures on 18MP it got an timeout... below that count no problem... now i have a 3.2 quadcore with 2gb ram and starts to timeout with about 150 pictures.
Mostly it depends on the server it is on... webhosters usually have faster servers, so it would normally be no problem. When i have folders with 10MP pictures ive never ran into problems... I must say i know the first time takes more time to load so ive been every time loading myself the page first before anyone else did.

maybe one more little thing to show... if a folder has subfolders nothing but a blank folder/gallerypicture is shown.
Maybe it could be with some text in it showed this gallery has ... subgalleries so the webuser knows it has some subgalleries.
As you can see on my site i'll try to have the max out of the albums and ordered it well 3 till 4 levels deep... in my case it may be extremely lot of pictures but i can think other site will use also 2 or 3 levels deep with less albums and pictures.
I have found out how to show how many pictures are in an album but have not yet found how to show how many albums are in an album!

@haantje72: Thanks for access to your backend.
Was able to reproduce the issue with the "Not found message" on your site. Will see how to fix it with the next release.
Will investigate the sitetree dropdown issue in combination with deeply nested albums this weekend. The download link feature is easy to implement (although I am not fully convinced of this feature). However making this feature configurable via "_config.php" may be fine. I do need to do some more testing on servers with lots of big images to find out the practical limits for thumbnail and preview image resizing on default servers before implementing this feature.
Anyway, thanks for your invested time and valuable feedback - highly appreciated.
Re: cwsoft-foldergallery - image gallery for SilverStripe 3

Very much thanks for the help.
I know now you intended to have a gallery with 2 levels deep and not like i did with sometimes till 4 levels deep (as well in the files folder as in the gallerypage). Although its working (maybe tricky) i get it shown like i want it to so its possible this way and you can get an allmost unlimited foldergallery. On my old site i had the sidebar full with links to te gallerypages (about 90 links) wich was a mess. Like it is now its perfectly ordered and working well with over 15.000 pictures.
When i select the mainfolder, save it i can select the subfolder and save it again so my problem is somehow solved.
I think different views make a better program for muti-usability for all while still keeping it simple. It still stays your program and its your decision to update it with the new code or not. Im in advertisement and marketing and can only give some advise how to make it maybe more usable.
I appreciate the work you're doing and still love the gallery.

Great work and many thanks for the help... Its starting to look like an simple professional album and still easy to use for everyone.
Image resizing at load works great. Loading the first time takes some longer to load (because of resizing images 18MP) and the next times loading its really fast like it should be.
Showing that the folder has subalbums is also perfect.
I've mailed you the Dutch translation to implement.
just see that you didn't have an translation for full size -> Dutch -> Originele grootte

So XL would be good. Now how long is long? I'm normally a 30" inseam, can these be hemmed by a tailor?
Looking to get the Q pants, how do they...
Member since
Looking to get the Q pants, how do they run sizing wise. Like would an XL be way too big for a 35 waist?
Member since
Nah they would fit perfect. I am a 32-33 waist and I still wear the XL just for extra room and comfort.
Yule & Bellow
Member since
yes the waists are actually kinda tight the thing is that they are SOOOOOOO long

Sick pants. Yet to be battle-tested, but I am confident that these will hold up. Got a small. I am 5'7" 170, normally a 32-33 waist. There is room in the small for me.

The Web of Fear DVD – Reviewed!
If you read my review of the DVD release of The Enemy of the World, then you'll perhaps understand why this is yet another tough release to cover.
To summarise briefly, The Web of Fear has long been acknowledged as a 'classic'; as, perhaps, Patrick Troughton's best ever story (once Tomb of the Cybermen ruined all our previous illusions by having the Telosian temerity be re-discovered in 1992). That only its first episode remained in the BBC archive added to its power and mystique. The opening instalment was, all told, pretty atmospheric and solid – if the other five were as good, then it was bound to be a 'classic' through and through, wasn't it? Douglas Camfield directing, Nicholas Courtney making his debut as Lethbridge-Stewart, Yeti with web guns, and so on: bound to be brilliant.
Well, at the end of last year, four of its 'lost' episodes came back in from the cold. In a flurry of insane activity, this most desirable carrot was dangled over we 'missing episode'-hungry fans and was quickly and hurriedly consumed as we all went and downloaded it. By now, it's probably the most watched Troughton story in all fandom. But is it any good?
Well, yes. It is.
Having seen The Enemy of the World, one is able to make much more sense of the opening sequences of characters sliding about the TARDIS floor in the desperate hope of giving us the impression they're about to be sucked out into space. Quite why this superfluous sequence is tagged on to the beginning of the story (rather than the end of the last one) seems to be a throwback to Enemy writer David Whitaker's tenure as script editor on the show, but it's oddly out of place. It would doubtless have been a heck of a lot more spooky to open with Travers in Silverstein's 'museum' for that creepy film sequence in which the Yeti (and the Intelligence, presumably) are once more reanimated.
In case you don't know, the bulk of the story takes place some months later when the Intelligence has forced an evacuation of London by filling it with thick fog, a creeping, curiously foam-like fungus and scraggy-looking Yeti robots with guns that shoot cobwebs (and we old-school fans accept this, but do ideas get much battier than that?). The army are tasked with trying to control this menace, which is lurking in the London Underground, and it is into this web of fear (get it?) that the Doctor and co rock up.
The Web of Fear is one of Season Five's 'base under siege' stories, but it is probably so well remembered because it's the best of its kind. Ultimately, the story is about the soldiers trapped beneath the city, and because these soldiers are portrayed as 'real people', it's an incredibly effective piece of work that stands head and shoulders over tedious dross like season-mate The Ice Warriors because the characters are imbued with real opinions and real motivations rather than 'space/sci-fi' ones.
As monsters go, the Yeti are reasonable opponents; they are mobile and threatening in size, although, somewhat strangely, Camfield elects to chuck them straight into the limelight. No hiding in the shadows for these creatures, which makes them, in visceral terms, not especially scary. Perhaps this is a deliberate decision, a warning to the viewer that the enemy does not need to creep about to bring you death – death is there, up front and coming at you with violence in mind. The creeping about is given to the fungus – which, as it passes through the tunnels in both film and studio sequences or even in model shots (as at the end of Episode 5), always looks amazing – and the sinister menace comes from the hissing sibilance of that disembodied possessor of human bodies (dead or alive), the Great Intelligence.
Another reason The Web of Fear's reputation has endured since it was broadcast, might simply boil down to one thing: Episode 4. Whatever you might think of it as a whole, Episode 4 is an astonishing and quintessential bit of Doctor Who. The filmed shoot-out in Covent Garden is a piece of sustained action unlike any seen in the series before (even if you want to quote The War Machines or The Gunfighters), and in studio, the claustrophobic attack on the electrical shop is brutally effective. Throughout the story, Troughton gives his usual sufficient yet elusive performance, but in Episode 4, he gets some incredible close-ups when telling his companions what the Intelligence is – all of which serves to make him look quite alien.
Many will note, of course, that this is, in effect, the first UNIT story. When Lethbridge-Stewart turns up in Episode 3 it comforts the modern viewer with 45 years' hindsight. But at the time, the Doctor's future ally was portrayed as a mysterious, conspicuous figure whose sudden arrival and subsequent actions were as questionable as those of Harold Chorley (played by second Avengers 'girl' and Ian Hendry surrogate Jon Rollason), Professor Travers (Jack Watling, reprising his role from The Abominable Snowmen earlier in the season), Driver Evans (the story's most outstanding and multi-layered character, brilliantly played by Derek Pollitt) and Staff Sgt. Arnold (played with great texture by John Lydon lookalike, Jack Woolgar). Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is credulous, pragmatic and often cold, and although these qualities would remain in his later stories (even after his transformation into Pertwee's sidekick buffoon), here they are used to crank up the paranoia that there is a traitor in the Doctor's midst.
If you can suspend your knowledge of the Colonel's future life when you watch this, you will see what viewers saw in 1968 and that will add to the suspense. Once you have, however, and the Intelligence has trundled off into who-knows-where, it's worth re-remembering that Lethbridge-Stewart would go on to found UNIT: the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Now read that again. Lethbridge-Stewart, as a consequence his involvement in these events, goes on to found the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Just sayin'.
Ultimately, The Web of Fear's failings are few: it sags a bit in the middle because there's too much repetition (I confess I didn't even realise I'd skipped Episode 4 when I bought the download) and some of the storytelling is not particularly clear – I still have no idea who is sabotaging what and when – but this might all be to the advantage of the suspense the story is aiming for.
But Hitchcock it's not. This lack of clarity or satisfactory explanation may fall at the feet of Camfield or writers Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln (though, given the great and awkward pains the dialogue goes to in explaining to the viewers stuff we've already been able to work out thanks to direction and performance, I suspect the latter). Camfield's direction is, in fact, incredibly accomplished. Here, he proves himself not only to be the master of stylish film work, but also the king of the electronic studio; I note in particular some excellent and highly unusual camera set-ups and cross-fades in Episode 6. He is also backed up by some top-notch set design from David Myerscough-Jones whose tube tunnels and platforms could easily be the real thing and whose Intelligence 'centre' in Episode 6 even features a ceiling (it's the details, folks). The real atmosphere of this story, however, comes from Clive Leighton's realistic and yet often expressionistic lighting, probably unrivalled in any other Doctor Who story since Season One.
Those of you who've seen the download, though, will probably agree with me that the most amusing moment comes when we see a chocolate bar emblazoned with the words 'Camfield's Dairy Milk' and that the most frightening things in the whole six episodes are actually Victoria's disturbingly weird legs.
Writing a review of The Web of Fear seems an odd thing to be doing so long after we all downloaded it and realised with astonishment and joy that it was great but nowhere near as good as The Enemy of the World – but, hey, the BBC are releasing it on DVD this month.
I seem to remember you all took it on the chin when they put out the Enemy DVD with no Extras, other than a trailer for this release. You stoic lot, you. I seem to recall the hope was that, as The Web of Fear would be released several months hence, there'd be time to record a commentary track, or maybe sling together a little documentary. And, oh how exciting if the BBC were holding back the real Episode 3 for the DVD release as a treat for all our dedication and love and pie-in-the-sky daydreaming.
As I wrote on my review for The Enemy of the World:
- A single shiny disc with a picture on it and words that tell you what it is you're putting into your player.
- A plastic case in which to keep your shiny disc safe.
- A cover with words and pictures on it telling you all about the shiny disc you're putting into your player.
- An insert with words and pictures on it telling you all about the, yeah, you get the picture…
- So, there you go.
- No Production Subtitles, no Commentary track.
- No 'real' Episode 3 – just John Cura's telesnaps (I say 'just', at least we've been spared another poorly-executed cartoon…).
And, yeah, for the wag that asked me last time, it looks like it's been VID-Fired.
But, if you don't already have The Web of Fear (unlikely!) then this is a great story and well worth owning. If you have the download, though, I'd advise you against conning yourself again.
The Web of Fear can be ordered now from Amazon, where the £20.42 RRP is reduced to just £13.97, ahead of its release on February 24th .

I don't do downloads, and I'm pretty certain lots of others don't do downloads either, so the DVD will be just fine, thank you very much. Very disappointed that they didn't spring to animate the missing episode, though. And having seen Enemy of the World on DVD – which resulted in it entering my top 10 stories of all time, prior to which Troughton tended to be stuck in the middle of the pack with me – and noting how it was too bad they didn't do a featurette on the making of that story, I'm sure I'll feel the same when I see Web of Fear.
Oh and one other thing: unlike the download I'm pretty certain I'll be able to watch Web of Fear again and enjoy it on DVD a decade from now.
Couldn't agree more with the comments above – there are a lot of people who refrain from iPlayer and downloads etc! Am guessing Elton is an Apple fan. I personally watched it and continue to do so for free as part of my Virgin package. But I was also wondering if anybody could tell me if the DVD cover (for this and Enemy) are reversible so as to fit in with the rest of the series? I note the spine still seems to conform to previous releases but I'm a sucker for uniformity so it is a shame if the whole cover doesn't fit in
I'm not Apple fan. Unless you mean the Beatles' record label, in which case I'm an Apple fan. As to not being able to watch the download in years to come – is someone going to smash up my USB stick? I hope not. Personally, having bought the download (not to mention the novelisation, the audio CD, a telesnap recon and then the VHS and 'Lost In Time'), I simply don't have the finances to be able to buy something I own all over again in a different format – but good look to those of you that CAN and ARE WILLING to spend your hard earned money like that. And they say we're in a recession! Clearly not… I prefer DVDs, too, but I suspect the format will be obsolete in less than 10 – 15 years, so we're all going to end up buying these things over and over again, aren't we? Great set of episodes, though, eh?
Hi ekton. Regarding your comment on the usb stick. And dissing the oosters point. Look at audiogo. Big high profile company gone bust and closed uts downlod option on feb 1st 2014. So if you usb stick us lost, broken,getswet. Then i hope you buy the dvd
best wishes bryan
A stonking set of episodes. Watched them all in one go which can be difficult with 60′s Who. I understand why the BBC chose different media for distribution and it seems to have worked in commercial terms. I look forward to your reviews of Power and Evil in due course.
Hi Joyce – Power and Evil? Let's hope so, eh? Though you might be interested in reading my current review of Power as featured in our Who@50 strand. Obviously, if it turns up sometime soon, it would be interesting to see what changes in this review, but do please have a read: http://www.kasterborous.com/2013/04/030-the-power-of-the-daleks-2/
Hey Philip – I take your point about watching Who on the telly where it ought to be watched. If you have a HDMI cable, you can simply plug your laptop into your telly. That's the only way I watched my downloads – on the big screen as it should be done. Like you rightly suggest, I'd recommend watching all Doctor Who through the telly – but also with headphones, which is a lovely experience if there's only you watching.
I downloaded it, though I had and still have every intention of buying the DVD too, simply because I couldn't bear the thought of being knocked down and killed by a truck or something without having seen it.
And it fully lived up to expectations. One of my favourite stories.
I didnt buy the download ,cause its itunes. Thers no competion, no choices. Its discraceful. The dvd will have a better picture quality and vid fire, which itunes cant handle, so the pictue will be much better quality.
but how ruddy amazing to think. I will have web of fear on dvd in a weeks time
sorry about the typos previously. Im using a new tablet

Babylon Supervisor Bellone announces that Town has acquired Old Town Hall
During WWI and before World War II; before the stock market crash of '29, and long before the advent of the computer chip, Babylon constructed a gracious town hall building on its eastern border on a strip of dirt road now called Montauk Highway.
