- Introduction on stage and the final track in their Glastonbury set list. Featuring original members; Dick Mills, Peter Howell, Roger Limb, Paddy Kingsland & Mark Ayres. The theme featured here is edited down in the middle by a few minutes and was shot on a GoPro Hero3 Black edition and Sony camcorder at the Glade Stage, Saturday 28th June.
Exceedingly glad to say that my wife and I were in that crowd for that gig at Glastonbury. It had just pelted it down and many people were sheltering only to be entirely hooked by the music and stay all the way through, even though the rain stopped quite quickly. One guy behind me said, and I quote "that was the best thing I've seen all festival".
Wife and I knew precisely who they were and made a point of seeing them, of course.
That bassline will always give me goosebumps
It's great to hear Dr Who get recognition at Glastonbury!
Not the first time Doctor Who got a recognition in Glastonbury though. Orbital did ever play their arrangement of Doctor Who theme at Glastonbury.
You are joking right? Or you are not a DW fan. Look up Matt Smith and The Orbital playing the Theme at Glasto.

This bloody song. Goosebumps EVERY time!!! RIP Delia. Thank God you didn't take that day off sick.
Totally amazing. I never thought we'd ever see the Radiophonic Workshop live, with people like Dick Mills up there. It'd be good to see some of the other excellent Radiophonic people too, like Elizabeth Parker. And deeply sad, of course, that it's far too late for Delia Derbyshire to be part of this. I'm amazed this hasn't had more publicity.
Try some Daphne Oram - "Are you there?" while you're at it.
Elizabeth Parker's amazing soundtrack to The Living Planet is one of my all-time favourite albums, electronic or otherwise. Like everything else to do with the Radiophonic Workshop, once it got dismantled in an all too commonplace act of British cultural vandalism, a lot of their work was unavailable for a long time, and it was only in 2016 it was finally available again on CD and download after it's original and short-lived 1984 release.
Such a great theme! This version couldn't be more 80's if it tried! :)
CarboKnights Try mid 60's !!!
I think Delia was a pure genius, her work influenced many of her peers, such as Pink Floyd.
@@trespire But this is the 1980s version so its more of a 60s / 80s mashup - strong elements of the original but with what is now the 80s nostalgia. 🙂🙂
This sounds so fucking great played live.
The crowd's reaction when Peter's theme starts playing is wonderfully exciting!!
Orbital played this theme at Earthcore festival in Australia... Will never forget this experience!
Been a fan for my whole life, and it's great to see those pioneers playing at Glasto! They way they actually made the music was mind-boggling and incredibly time consuming.
May their legacy live on forever!
It is still extraordinary how this sound - and combination of sounds - that became part of the national language before I was born 50 years ago, is still considered relevant enough to produce variants into our future.
This is the ONLY Dr who theme. It’s the one I first heard back in the early 80’s. It’s never been bettered. Wonderful to see it played live.
As a child of the 90s this was the only theme I knew of for Dr Who until the reboot in 2005.
Oh my word, I wish I was there for that! Howell's version was and is brilliant, to see it played live in front of an appreciative audience... I think I have something in my eye. Thanks for posting it. (Lovely to see Peter soak up the appreciation at the end too, by all accounts a lovely man).
Peter is absolutely a lovely man. I emailed him years ago (via his website) asking where I could get hold of his theme tune to The Body in Question and a piece of incidental music written for the same series "The Greenwich Chorus" and, totally unexpected, he sent me the highest quality MP3 files of both.
I wish we'd kept the dialogue going, because the work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop has always fascinated me. In fact, Peter along with Dick Mills, Paddy Kingsland, Brian Hodgson and the legendary and sadly-missed Delia Derbyshire, were all responsible for me pursuing a life-long career in radio and now (I hope) music.
I hope you don't mind this bit of shameless self-promotion, but I've just finished my 60th anniversary arrangement of the Doctor Who theme tune, preceded by a mini "making of the 1963 theme" documentary. Doctor Who: Theme 60 is awaiting release on iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, iHeartRadio, RUclips Music, Amazon and other online music retailers, but you can hear the pre-release version on my RUclips channel @danmade.studio
What an absolute iconic piece of music. Brings me back to a fab childhood ❤
Great performance! The 1980 all synthesizer version is still the best for impact.
I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS ITS THAT GOOD!!!!!
For a TAFE assessment, I had to do stage lighting for any piece of music. I chose this version of the Doctor Who theme! Of course, the system I used had problems that even the teacher couldn't figure out, and I had one hour. Well, now I know what could have been…
I did make something. I passed the cert III course, after all. Also, I looked like the biggest nerd, blasting this music through the speakers. It sounded epic though!
Just one person missing on stage...
Heroes, artists and gentlemen! Bravo!
Thank you for posting this.
I missed all that. I was hiding behind the sofa.
Glad they used the Peter Howell version. It's by far the best.
Brought a tear to my eye...
Change of plans! It's freezing rain outside. I'm going to watch Doctor Who and drink a few Guinness today. Love the theme music live!
AWESOME 🤩
SICK
Ah yes, thanks YT algo for reminding me in 2022 of those halcyon days...
Peter howell should record a new version of his 80's theme for the 60th
for bakers finale, this should have been the Logopolis titles
one step beyond
Thanks for posting this! They were great at glasto! Do you have the rest of the gig? It's such great quality and I'd love to watch the whole thing again
I have a few more bits; Dick Mills' intro, the band members being introduced & some of the Hitchhikers segment. May do a second edit soon...
2:35
Let's start the music!
Spot the guy whos had a pill...
The guys were great and so is the music, but I can't quite get my head round the fact people are dancing to the Doctor Who theme?
Same! I was like, people actually dance to it? I thought I was the only head bobbing and stuff.
+The Restoration of Dr Who One year later and I still haven't got my head around it
3 years later, i still can't get my own head around it
I found that quite funny but also heart-warming that they were dancing along like they were at a rave, a testament to the quality of the tune, that's it stands alone as a good piece of music as well as a TV theme.
Disconnect the music from doctor who and it’s stands up by itself as a banger.
Put this in a similar video but does anyone else think the visuals in the midsection represent The Doctor being woven in the loom and the tunnel representing his birth into the 80's music?
Or am I being way too trippy and hoopy right now?
I've seen the same performance twice in quick succession and think I'm on to something.
they are ready to play ... just a few moments .. yes, they start .. and ... a lot of SMOKE. WHY?
Old mate with the red bags jaw must be so sore!
2:14 dude bottom left corner bouncing to the none existent beat lmao.
Theme starts at 2:35.
iamgine dropping acid and then hearing this
clearly I have done so much I can't even spell imagine
can't hear the melody parts very well, but still very cool, i have made a few versions myself on my channel.
errrrm delia derbyshire was the original not howell
He wrote it if my memory serves me correct, Delilah only made it into an electronic version using tape loops and oscillators
Correction Howell did the 80s version , the original music was by Ron Grainer
No denying the rws have been dining out on the dr who theme for years. I guess the likes of public service broadcasting have given them a renewed "credibility".
Why play the worst version of it then?
What Peter Howell theme?? The worst? 😂😂. I think its one of the best themes out there
@@brookhammerbrook3306I agree, best rendition of the Doctor Who theme.
You’re clearly confusing this for the Dominic Glynn theme. (Sorry Dominic, if you’re reading!)
Wonderful. Such a shame they ruined the program.
Dr. Who, back when the show used to be good.
No, I think it's a bit older than a year.
It's still good just 13s run hasn't been amazing
