As a fan of the classic and original theme, this is an excellent throwback! My only slight little not pick would have been to tone down the drums just a wee bit.
I agree with both you and Kenneth Lily. The drums can be a bit excessive, but it is a signature of this modern remake of a classic that doesn't get too obnoxious and emphasizes the one-two-three-four beat of the drums or the two beats of the time Lords both hearts. I still am hoping it is a signature hint of the master, that written.
@@janedoe4627 funny I was trying to think as a classic Whovian which theme it reminded me of, and that answered it. Like the other themes before it, it is a remastering of the old with a remake for the modern. Like the other modified themes before it, this one of course seems to stress a certain aspect of the theme remade that inspired it (the drums in this instance seem to be the most noticeable) but still holds onto the Original Classic theme as well as the modification of The Middle 8 done later in the Original series of course. (If you watch the Day of the Doctor the 50th Anniversary Special, that opening theme was how the show actually started no middle 8.) This classic Whovian gives thanks to a New Generation theme song and enjoys it greatly! Oh, and Jodie Whittaker rocks as well!
I didn't like it, specially that synthesized main part of the theme after the opening chords, but if you listen to some of the themes done from 1980 onwards, it is much much worse. That said, they really should have stopped after the invasion of the Snowman in regards to changing the theme before in my personal opinion they just went to far and and it got too "look how clever and new we are now, we jumped a shark, then landed on a tank while playing a Stratocaster. " The viewers of this reply may vary in their opinion from me and that's fine.
im loving the love for this theme yet confused by people saying they prefer the original despite the fact this theme is a new baseline over samples of the original theme tune with some very minor editing. so it is basically the original yet edited.
This new version is a real throw back to the Patrick Troughton,Jon Pertwee era of the classic theme. If it needs any further tweaking take the drumming out !
Nice throwback to the classic era with this new version of the iconic theme. I'd say it sounds a lot like the version used around the 5th and 6th Doctor's time.
I quite find this funny because jodie's outfit looks like if a classic doctor worn even her tardis looks classic so i find this funny with the whole classic like look to it XD
It kind of looks like somebody reinvented the Atari 2600 gaming console and made a shirt about it. Well done everyone who did that shirt. That written, I hope we have something else to her outfit because we just need a little more in her style but I'm not trying to complain too much after all we do have a new sex to go with the outfit.
My theory is this is only going to be used for episode 1. There may be a brand new theme for episode 2 and onwards just like how they used a remixed Derbyshire theme in the unaired pilot of series 1 episode 1 (for the press preview)
I absolutely ADORE the new theme music. So much better than peter capaldi's and i neary cried when i heard the middle 8 come back and this theme pays homage to the classic series with the classic theme mixed in the new version :) :)
Dark master i love the credits for jodies doctor coz it harks back to the 1st 2nd and 3rd doctors titles. Cant wait to c the opening titles amd what the TARDIS interior looks like
Remember that the middle eight was not part of the original opening of the first Doctor Who theme song but it was composed by the Originals composer and remixer before there were digital remix or even musical track layers, and later implemented first in end credits than later in the original series opening of course. Watch The Day of the Doctor to hear how the original theme was as brief as what is it was without the middle Eights. But that all written, I freaking love the middle 8 part as one of my favorite parts of the song. You just can't have a musical bridge without the middle 8 in my personal opinion for a doctor who song right now.
Music is OK. The graphics not so much. Prior to Capaldi the graphic effects was suggestive of travel in space-time. Now it just looks like opening show credits. I think the graphics are a further move in the wrong direction.
drums sound like 2 hearts and Just a washing machine sorry for copying the other comments and yea then later itsound like a shoe in a washing machine but it sounds like Brick in washing machine too know that video?
This theme is nice but wrong for the new female Doctor. I would of use it for the War Doctor theme song. I mean close your eyes and Picture this Song while the War Doctor was kicking ass on his enemies.
Unfortunatly the way American TV does end credits now days (something my own country has picked up in doing) the credits are thrown into the bottom corner of teh screen and you have giant adverts for coming or up next TV programmes stuck up instead with the averts drowning out the credit music... it really really annoys me since its so damn intrusive (hell my country even plays the shows credits now while the last 30 or so seconds of the programme they are for hasnt even finnished just to get that little extra advert time in between programmes, which usually is just them advertising them god damn selves... sickening really, and they wonder why free TV is dying.
Series 11 episode 2 will remedy that in the opening No comment on how the American BBC broadcast mutes the end Theme and credits or I will be spending several Pages worth of expletives😊
A masterclass... in how to RUIN a classic TV theme. Take the original, which cannot be bettered, then try to better it by adding jungle drums that sound more like someone banging on an empty biscuit tin! Fucking dreadful. And anyone who says otherwise is wrong. But I guess it's no more or less than this new series deserves.
They've been doing that for years, and Capaldi's theme was very different, and very bad, it's time to get back with what works. The original was a masterpiece of music.
Ian Heier I’m not saying it’s bad, I was just hoping for much more considering they were really hyping this up as some new revolutionary era for the show. Listening again, I’m really disappointed, I’ve found fan versions better than this.
Well then go ahead and submit your Arrangement I'm sure the BBC will apply it post haste. If you can't say something nice or constructive, don't say it at all.
I enjoyed the first episode of the new series, however, the music throughout was just awful and this new arrangement of the classic theme is absolutely abysmal. The music nearly ruined the whole episode, they really need to get a better composer.
@@augustjoys I'm from the original era, that's the best music, but I do prefer the music from the Matt Smith era to this, maybe you need your ears checked, this was very poor, as was the rest of the music in the episode. It is all personal opinion, but I personally can't stand the new arrangement.
Beatles1971 this entire theme is resemblant of the original theme. murray gold was good but you haven't even given this guy two episodes yet! the music sequences that played when jodie made her sonic, picked her outfit, and remembered who she was were great
The music really captures the original series feel where the music was often eerie and alien sounding. The music was far less intrusive than I found Murray Gold's to be
As a fan of the classic and original theme, this is an excellent throwback!
My only slight little not pick would have been to tone down the drums just a wee bit.
One two three four. One two three four. One two three four. One two three four. I think there's some foreshadowing going on...
I agree with both you and Kenneth Lily.

They got the four beats from the theme, not the other way around. They've always been part of the theme.
His was ok I loved the version where he played the electric guitar over it though the main theme was too loud for my taste.
Yep was thinking the same, about the masters beat, love the retro theme too
i love it. it's so classic
It was inspired by it
Not just inspired, it's actually remix of the original.
YES! I love it so so much... Perfect Mixture between old and new :)

The drums sound like someone left a shoe in a washing machine
Sounds like the beat of two separate hearts 🤔
LMAO
I'm emotionally triggered. but true. A broken washing machine you might say.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been a long time since they’ve used classic era samples to bring it back to its roots.
MIDDLE 8! MIDDLE 8! MIDDLE 8!
Pity it's gone again :(
IM IN LOVE WITH THE NEW THEME
Me too
Me three!
Love it. Especially the bit at 1:20. Mysterious...as all Dr Who themes should be.
I like that this sounds like an old school theme now and with the Rorschach opening reminds me of Pertwee's era
Oml I’m in love!!!
But most of the comments say that they hated Capaldis, I loved it? Am I the only one??
I liked. Smith's was too different
Sorry, but I hated Capaldi's theme.
I didn't like it, specially that synthesized main part of the theme after the opening chords, but if you listen to some of the themes done from 1980 onwards, it is much much worse.

The viewers of this reply may vary in their opinion from me and that's fine.
I loved that one
Shamalama Dingdong I loved capaldis one too. As a matter of fact, I loved all of them
I’m getting a Terminator vibe from the drums
I love it so much it brings back the old theme and excites and makes it dramatic
im loving the love for this theme yet confused by people saying they prefer the original despite the fact this theme is a new baseline over samples of the original theme tune with some very minor editing. so it is basically the original yet edited.
Wait..are people referring to the theme from the Eccleston/Tennant Era as the original? surely not...
I think (or rather I hope) people are refering to CLASSIC Doctor Who’s themetune; not Eccleston/Tennant.
1:00 My favourite bit
Absolutely nailed it.
I like it how they have revived the classic who theme into a nice modern yet still classic style theme
I saw the Doctor Who panel at NYCC. I fucking love this rendition of the classic theme
This makes me that special kind of happy
This new version is a real throw back to the Patrick Troughton,Jon Pertwee era of the classic theme. If it needs any further tweaking take the drumming out !
The drumming doesn't need removing, just toning down somewhat
THE MIDDLE 8 THANK THE LORD FOR DOCTOR WHO TO BRING IT BACK YESSSSSS
Nice throwback to the classic era with this new version of the iconic theme. I'd say it sounds a lot like the version used around the 5th and 6th Doctor's time.
I’ve heard rumours that the opening theme vortex will be like Jon Pertwee’s vortex. YES PLEASE!
*“Oh brilliant!”*
Imagine capaldi with this theme tune, would have fit him so well. The drum beats are so tough and hard and angry exactly like his doctor was.
Yeah but if you actually watch he becomes soft eventually and more caring that's what I got from it anyway
Can't wait for the intro
I like it, a nice bit of retro whilst still being new. Honouring the past but still going forwards. Very 13th Doctor.
Dr who back to its darker roots...love it
I quite find this funny because jodie's outfit looks like if a classic doctor worn even her tardis looks classic so i find this funny with the whole classic like look to it XD
It kind of looks like somebody reinvented the Atari 2600 gaming console and made a shirt about it. Well done everyone who did that shirt. That written, I hope we have something else to her outfit because we just need a little more in her style but I'm not trying to complain too much after all we do have a new sex to go with the outfit.
I'm looking forward to hearing this in high quality when it comes! C'mon Beeb, don't keep us waiting!
Retro, nostalgia, throwback to the originals just wow! The drums the never ending drum beat, the heartbeat of a timelord. 💛💛
😍💛💛
To be honest, I was thinking the Master the whole time the drums were being played.
Literally though, it really is isn't it? Really a subtle reminder. I adore how the 60s has almost had a remastering.
Woah, I can hear the drums in the background :oooo
Finally they've made the Dr who theme sound like it should, just like classic who themes
I'm in loooove with this I'm so excited for jodie🙌🏻🙌🏻💗
Drums are like someone is hitting thick/thin metal sheets with drumsticks.
IM QUAKING THIS IS GREAT
Am I the only one who loves this??
No 😊
Why's this new theme such a banger though😍
I can hear shades of the McCoy era theme towards the end.
Best theme from the *ENTIRE* show? And yes, from 1963
I love it
My theory is this is only going to be used for episode 1. There may be a brand new theme for episode 2 and onwards just like how they used a remixed Derbyshire theme in the unaired pilot of series 1 episode 1 (for the press preview)
If the only time it happened was 55 years ago for the pilot's press-release, then no, I think this is the theme they're keeping.
Love it. It sounds very alien. Loving the alien.
Love the theme and the new Dr Who.
Fucking love this! Throwback Gloriousness. I have goosebumps!
Anyone else set it on loop and listens it for hours? :D
- Lotus_CZ
Holy frick it's so good
Wow so retro... Not sure... Maybe it will grow on me. Still like the 2005-2010 theme the best
"Oh, brilliant."
It seems to be the classic but it has drums
I like it seriously common too classic
Around about the 50 seconds mark it goes into the 80s theme
This one sounds more like the classic one, just with drums... 5/10
Where did you get this full theme from? Btw I absolutely love how this sounds just like William Hartnells from 1963
Ho brilliant
I absolutely ADORE the new theme music. So much better than peter capaldi's and i neary cried when i heard the middle 8 come back and this theme pays homage to the classic series with the classic theme mixed in the new version :) :)
Don't get me wrong, I really love Capaldi's theme and titles, but Jodie's theme and titles looks to be great!
Dark master i love the credits for jodies doctor coz it harks back to the 1st 2nd and 3rd doctors titles. Cant wait to c the opening titles amd what the TARDIS interior looks like
It’s the classic theme with drums that’s it and a little remix
rory hazlie ✊
Remember that the middle eight was not part of the original opening of the first Doctor Who theme song but it was composed by the Originals composer and remixer before there were digital remix or even musical track layers, and later implemented first in end credits than later in the original series opening of course.

But that all written, I freaking love the middle 8 part as one of my favorite parts of the song. You just can't have a musical bridge without the middle 8 in my personal opinion for a doctor who song right now.
Well I didn't think they'd return to the classic rendition and remix it.
woah that was quick
Here come the drums!!
Wow!!!!!!
good ; does it touch a little on the Terminator theme percussion?
Love this new arrangement! Better than Capaldi's version, which, don't get me wrong, is good, but very shrill.
I love it, but I wish they toned down the drums and turned up the baseline
Drums just need to be a little more like 5-6's drums and toned down just a smidge in volume and they will have it.
Wish the drums were a bit deeper and the wah wah wah was a bit more defined, but what do I know
AHHHHHHHH
I love this arrangement, but can you upload a version that doesn't sound awful due to the stupid amount of compression that has been used?
Second ep it changes
I laugh if this isn't the actual thing this is just a stand in theme
Dr Who vs Riverdance
Well that's very creative copy the original theme and add drums
I liked the theme but I do have to say it's very lazy.
If it isn't broken why fix it?
Music is OK. The graphics not so much. Prior to Capaldi the graphic effects was suggestive of travel in space-time. Now it just looks like opening show credits. I think the graphics are a further move in the wrong direction.
drums sound like 2 hearts and Just a washing machine sorry for copying the other comments and yea then later itsound like a shoe in a washing machine but it sounds like Brick in washing machine too know that video?
But too much percussion but at least the music stays faithful to cannon,
I do like this theme but find the drumbeats a bit jarring in places.
This theme is nice but wrong for the new female Doctor. I would of use it for the War Doctor theme song. I mean close your eyes and Picture this Song while the War Doctor was kicking ass on his enemies.
He already has a theme
This wasn't even on TV
Yes it was. In the end credits.
Unfortunatly the way American TV does end credits now days (something my own country has picked up in doing) the credits are thrown into the bottom corner of teh screen and you have giant adverts for coming or up next TV programmes stuck up instead with the averts drowning out the credit music... it really really annoys me since its so damn intrusive (hell my country even plays the shows credits now while the last 30 or so seconds of the programme they are for hasnt even finnished just to get that little extra advert time in between programmes, which usually is just them advertising them god damn selves... sickening really, and they wonder why free TV is dying.
BBC America didn't even fucking put the credits in for me. And the commercials, my god, it was fucking atrocious.
Series 11 episode 2 will remedy that in the opening No comment on how the American BBC broadcast mutes the end Theme and credits or I will be spending several Pages worth of expletives😊

I like the theme but i don't like the title sequence
Lacks some bass doesn’t sound as epic as it could
It's like a copy paste of the original
Drumming is too intrusive
I’m sorry but the new version of the theme is pretty boring xP loved the new episode though regardless.
I just hope the Tardis isn't as classic.
Doesn’t feel new, kind boring I was hoping for more
Listen to the very original Doctor Who theme, then this. Homage.
@@Xiatter I understand that's the whole point, I just think now's the time to really drastically change it up
They've been doing that for years, and Capaldi's theme was very different, and very bad, it's time to get back with what works. The original was a masterpiece of music.
You're obviously mad.. this sounds fantastic.. ;)
Ian Heier I’m not saying it’s bad, I was just hoping for much more considering they were really hyping this up as some new revolutionary era for the show. Listening again, I’m really disappointed, I’ve found fan versions better than this.
It’s just a shitter version of the old one lol
I don't like the arrangement, I've heard better Fan arrangements
Well then go ahead and submit your Arrangement I'm sure the BBC will apply it post haste. If you can't say something nice or constructive, don't say it at all.
This is such a downgrade... Why would anyone want to go back to this?..
Because it's original
This theme is too dull for my taste... I liked the other ones more.
I enjoyed the first episode of the new series, however, the music throughout was just awful and this new arrangement of the classic theme is absolutely abysmal. The music nearly ruined the whole episode, they really need to get a better composer.
Beatles1971 are you insane? the music was great. accept that murray is gone and move on
