37:13 "Death in Heaven" version (same as above, but swaps Coleman and Capaldi's name and features her face instead of his, used only for this episode as a joke - it's also a bit out of sync)

38:24 Series 9 titles (same as series 8 titles but with the cogs at the beginning now being tinted blue instead of gold - the version seen from "The Magician's Apprentice" is out of sync, but would be fixed for the rest of the series except for "Under the Lake" and "Face the Raven")

42:33 "Twice Upon a Time" version (used only for the 2017 Christmas special, same as above but with Mark Gatiss and David Bradely now included, and the episode title reveal returns to the series 9 version - note Pearl Mackie's name is off-centre and Gatiss and Bradley's are written in a bolder font)
Thirteenth Doctor
43:10 Series 11 titles (new animated sequence and new theme arrangement by Segun Akinola, first used on Jodie Whittaker's second episode "The Ghost Monument")
43:45 same as above but with a slightly different version of the theme music first used in "Rosa"
44:19 Series 12 titles (same as series 11 titles but with a remix of the theme, with louder melody and bassline and more sound effects - the difference is most obivous when the "director" credit appears, first used on "Spyfall")
44:54 Series 12 titles version 2 (same as above, but Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill's names have swapped order, not sure when this was used)
thank you
@@carygibson9979 The Series 12 version 2 started with Spyfall Part 2 and is used only on Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror (The version seen here) Praxeus, The Haunting of Villa Diodati, and The Timeless Children. Hopefully this info was helpful
King
@@carygibson9979 Absolutely fantastic work, thanks!
Do you really think that I was gonna spend 45 minutes of watching all the Doctor Who Openings?
Well you are most certainly correct
YES
YUPPIE!!
SAme
🎵WAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAHHHH OOOOOHHHH WOOOOO🎵
Did you think u would do it 10 times over? Welp, I did
I absolutely love how goofy the TARDIS looks spinning and flipping around in Matt Smith's intros. His intros are my favorites followed closely by Tennant's. There's something wonderful about the deep bass, constant rhythmic drum beats, prominent orchestral swings and especially the powerful chorus!
Ngl Peter Capaldi's opening is actually surprisingly the most detailed and (imo) has probably one of the best versions of the music
Its my favorite too
It's so weird hearing people love the "orchestral swings" in the Doctor Who theme, considering that it's original unique feature was that Delia arranged it as a piece of electronic synthesizer music with no acoustic instruments whatsoever, and did it for a show about time travel _before the invention of the electronic synthesizer!!!_
I agree! I also love the crash of thunder/lightening every so often! It adds something spooky and intense!
my fav is jodie's. everything is perfect about that intro. the music, the cgi, the logo... i love that.
The composer in the latest season: what if we just let the drums go mad lmao.
So the theme is the Master now is what you’re saying
The newest series music, is just mashing they keys on an electronic keyboard
It is just the 1963 theme with added bass and hard drums. Nothing too great or original
@@Beantbeantbeant yeah he fixed something that wasn't broken
I hate that intro so bad, it sounds like a dubstep parody. The visuals also have weird colors and don’t feel spacey
I’ve never seen the 13:01 sixth doctor variation until now, such a cool update to such a classic intro!
It's on the blu ray set
The 2005 variant is my personal favorite. It actually feels like you're traveling through time in that intro.
I love the thing of the colour of the Time Vortex representing which way in time you're going, Blue for backwards and Red for Forwards in time. Such a simple concept and for something you only ever see maybe twice? Jack holding on in Utopia and maybe that's it?
@@Whiteythereaper fr, that is a really good concept.
@@WhiteythereaperYou see it fleetingly in a few episodes
Damn, I really miss Capaldi :( everyone was complaining at the time but we didn't know how good we had it!
Yeah... I miss him too :'/
Smith is my favorite Doctor, but Capaldi is my favorite Doctor's actor, he has always been a DW fan since childhood and never made a secret of how meant to him become the Doctor himself.
I miss him too, I hope he will come again for some special someday and interact with his former and future incarnations.
And now Doctor Who is dead, it died on Christmas Day 2017, RIP Doctor Who
13:03 my new favourite doctor who intro
I’ve never even seen this one before
@@skykrasher4475 it's from a recent re-release I believe
I love how the last few Tennant intros they just were like "let's just add a bit of rock to it".
Personally I love Matt Smith's early intros the best. It's got that bangin' horn lead up then just lightning and thunder hitting the Tardis and then everything just flying into a vacuum of fire.
[Tennant] Murray Gold gotta Murray Gold. 😂 The really surprising thing with those is how long it took to bring *piano* into the official theme mix, considering people have been playing the theme on the piano for decades, and there were _two_ different piano-heavy versions on the "Variations on a Theme" CD way back when. But, other than the 1996 TV movie, the later Tennant openings are the only time the theme has featured any piano. (Just like Capaldi's are the only ones to feature bells... in keeping with the clockwork theme of the visuals, of course.)
I admit to a bias against the Matt Smith openings, because that "DoctorDWWho" 'box' logo really annoys me for some reason.
I also love the thunder and lightning! It adds something spooky and intense!
33:31 nice transition
Marvel: Infinity war is the biggest crossover in history
Dr Who: 24:03
Who?
Just threw everyone into that one episode didn’t they
Doctor Who + Torchwood + Sarah Jane Adventures lol
Russell T. Davies at his finest
There where not doctor who reference in infinity war because Disney didn't have the rights to, but potential for avengers five
Transition at 21:16 was smooth as hell
Ngl Peter Capaldi's opening is actually surprisingly the most detailed and (imo) has probably one of the best versions of the music
My favorite intro is the Eleventh Doctor oppening, introduced on Eleventh Hour ( 27:16 )
At 21:18 - I remember both Murray Gold and RTD calling this revamp of the music as their "News at Ten" feel to it. Murray said he saw the way ITV News were doing their news bulletins and took their style of the louder beat to it and brought it to Doctor Who for the 2007 Christmas special onward until Matt Smith's era started.
Love watching the evolution of the Doctor Who opening titles as it's the longest-running sci-fi TV show. Feels even more special as it started off in black & white for the first 6 years.
But it rivals Star Trek in the late 80s in America,when did doctor who first become watchable in the USA and Canada.

5:40 Ron Grainer composing music after coming back from the pub! 😂
It’s so funky
Did I really just sit here for 45 minutes watching ALL of these intros?
Yes. Yes, I did. I regret nothing. GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Alonsy!
For God sake, Gallifrey falls no more!
Well done, Robbie Smith. You are the ONLY one to get this correct - both audio and animation sequences and =ALL= of them, including the 1-time experimental ones. Seems like everyone else wanted to do something creative besides the original. Liked and subscribed to your channel now.
Finally a video that shows the variations, it might be "repetitive" to put on the official channel but really, I love these little tweaks they did to the intros every now and then. Like the alternate Third Doctor opening.
Never noticed how great those drums were timed at 24:15, just before the TARDIS comes back into frame
I didn't realise Tennant had so many different openings...
Also, I don't see how Capaldi's openings are out of sync. They look and sound fine to me. The ones with the cogs/gears are my absolute favourite openings.
The Era of Tennant is the most beautiful in my opinion. The entire life of the tenth doctor passes from a collective acronym to a solitary one. You can see it from the episode "the planet of the dead" as Tennant's journey was about to end and I think it was a great choice to make various sequences of acronyms, especially for him who grew up there and especially fond of it.
Capaldi's opening has many audio cues that correspond to parts of the visuals which makes it very easy to tell when its out of sync. The flash of the tardis as it disappears into the clock. The clock appearing. The doctors face. The logo appearing. Tardis flying towards the screen to reveal the episode. Look at the face the raven one and you'll see it very clearly. The song is not even over by the time the intro finishes.
Liking the gear ones myself. (would make a nice screensaver)
Yeah and just series 4 they just went ham with the theme. Probably the best theme yet
Something I think elevates the Stolen Earth titles is how the 'actor name' text animations are accelerated because of how many names they need to stuff in there, it's a small thing, but it makes it all feel more... more.
(Yeah that sentence kinda got away from me there)
Never seen Doctor Who but it's pretty wild to consider that they've kept a red thread through the whole run because the original intro was done right, memorable, otherworldly, very successful experimental visuals with music that sounds pretty alien, and they could carry that thematic music through half a century.
For Metal Fans: 39:00
Not much of a Who fan, but I do have to admit Peter Capaldi's opening most aligns with what I expect of the show's themes as an outsider; Weird time mystery stuff. The strong, metallic metronome at the beginning with all the spinning brass cogwork just screams "THIS SHOW IS ABOUT TIME" right at the front, with the spiraling clock face encapsulating a "Time doesn't work the way you think it does" type of mood, which then unravels to the sound of the main synth kicking up, creating a sense of unease. The intense gaze of Capaldi's obscured, phantasmal mug is piercing and striking. Phenomenal. The only thing I'm not so huge on is the TARDIS, which looks out of place and poorly shaded, like it's green screened in from a Doctor Who PS3 game.
I haven't watched more than a handful of episodes, but I promised someone a Doctor Who roleplaying one-shot for their birthday, so this is just perfect as a background soundtrack while flipping through the rulebook 😁 Really dig the theme, in all of the different iterations!
I adore the 50th anniversary titles for the little references to all past theme songs, and the return of THE FACE!!!!!!
I also love the season 4 theme, and the seventh doctor's theme!
The 10th Doctor intros from 21:17 on are absolute 🔥🔥🔥
I miss him so much
Gold's arrangement on those is his best. The bit with the flutes kicking in is really sympathetic.
Listen to this bit with only one earphone though, it sounds different 21:57
The great Murray Gold! He is back for the new series hope he brings back the epic theme.
It's the best and nothing comes close lol
23:10 my favorite Doctor Who opening theme.
Some people really hate the series 7 part 2 titles but I don’t mind them. They aren’t my favorite but there okay.
they're*
@@toastedbeans2171 who called the grammar police
@@pupgaming5072 I did
@@hothemeep1219 ok thank you for showing yourself
Same here dude
I loved how Series 7a had a different color scheme for each opening along with the logo having a texture that matched the episode. But nothing felt better than the Capaldi intro that was made by a fan and signed on by Moffat himself. We all won with that one.
Thanks a lot, superb work! Could include some text with context of each opening, but even than simply fantastic.
Very comprehensive compilation - congrats and thank you for your hard work! :)
Happy 60th anniversary, Doctor Who! Can’t wait to watch some new episodes starting this weekend! Allons-y!
Still love the Howell electric guitar one from the 80s and the version at 39:01 from the Capaldi era.
Thats not an electric guitar, thats a vocoder, i believe. :D still cool!
The first Tom Baker sequence used from 1974-1980 is arguably the most iconic of all. From the new series, my fav is the 2010 Matt Smith title sequence. It's a shame that every time that sequence was revised, it ended up looking cheaper and cheaper.
It's still hard to believe that he was a eight year doctor who
The Jodie intro is insane, it really sells the "Time Vortex" feeling for me
It looks like a poison is being created.
Just wish it was longer
It looked like a re-creation of the origonal intro
@@hoopa6477yeah it had a decent actress, a decent intro but shit writers. It could of been brilliant
Best was tennants season 4 opening the instrumentals and intensity of that opening is not only nostalgic but perfect for opening the episode. As a kid and even now I always get hyped to watch what is coming with the episode.
Series*
My favourite theme is 12, favourite opening however is stolen by 13, those effects are stunning!
13 is not canon, neither are her successors, they are not canon and they never will be
@@mattthesilent777RED Bro, I just said I like the opening. Idgaf if it’s canon or not
I love how the old intros look like when you rub your eyes too hard
21:57 listen to David’s theme with your right earphone only and it sounds different in a good way.
McCoy's titles are just fabulous. They're very representative of their decade, for sure. Absolutely my favorite!
The wink was always rubbish, though. (Said with love. Seven is probably my favorite iteration of the classic lineup, but that WINK... ugh.)

You will be remembered as legends.
10:05 is probably the most iconic to me. I was born in 1974 and Tom Baker will always be my definitive Doctor Who.
A wonderful collection for completionists. I never knew there were quite so many colour variations of the Tom Baker intros. I've often wondered if they were by design or by mistake. I hope you're planning a similar collection of the ending titles :-)
also the odd and decidedly Hartnellesque musical arrangement for Terror of the Zygons - 9:15. Was that real? Don't remember that
I can remember some openings being distinctly more brownish and others distinctly bluish during Tom Baker's original sequence run (on top of being jarringly off-centre, and The Seeds of Doom 5 being so high up that you could see a black band across the bottom that occasionally gave insights into how it was put together)
Not sure if the differing colour tones were due to the use of gels or filters (apart from Ark in Space 1 which definitely was, as well as the first time the new title sequence was put on to any episode - Robot was done next) or whether it was something to do with the way the film was telecined onto the video.
Friends: which music do you listen?
Me: you wouldn’t understand…
Had to watch this today to mark 60 years of Doctor Who!
#DoctorWho60 ❤❤➕🔷
The Paul mcgann one is so good
The ninth Doctor means so much to me. I first watched Doctor Who laying on the living room floor eating sunflower seeds with my Dad when I was... 6-8, not sure of my exact age. It introduced me to so many things. Sci-fi, space in general, "adult" TV- before watching DW with Dad, I had only watched animated kids shows on Treehouse, I think. I don't even think I really understood what "England" was at the time, so I guess all the British people was new to me too. I probably just thought they were speaking fancy.
This was also the time I learned to actually eat sunflower seeds. Before this time, I always either got Dad to crack them open for me or ate them whole, lol. Now I'm like a chipmunk.
So, I can't help but be partial to the war drums of the 9th Doctor's theme. Dad and I binged the 9th, 10th, and 11th Doctors' seasons all over the course of a year, I think, so I'm partial to David Tennant and Matt Smith as well, but Christopher Eccleston was the first for me.
I'm a little bit afraid that now I'm an adult (in theory, anyway) I won't find the show as good as I did as a kid. I fear I'll end up laughing at the CGI now. But hey, if the writing's as good as I remember, I think I can overlook the effects for the tugging of heartstrings..
It's crazy to me that the show itself is older than my Dad. I don't think he ever watched the old half of the show though- he says the effects were too silly, lol. Ironic that he doesn't want to watch the old seasons for the same reason I'm afraid to go back and watch the seasons I watched as a kid.
I don't even watch Doctor Who, why did I watch this entire video? And why do I not regret it??
I think it's interesting how many versions of the theme the tenth doctor got
I've traveled through time and space for 45:57 and I love it 😍😍
Thirteen, Fourteen and Fifteen and beyond AREN'T CANON
Love the part where it goes ➡️↗️➡️↗️ I wish they did that in the newer ones
What part are you talking about
@@fabiowarlock I believe they are talking about 9:06
@@SlurpyScrimp Oh ok thanks!
Terrific work, Mr. Smith. Thank you.
Loved the theme music for the opening and credits for that matter!
Now some doctor who what-if stuff:
William Hartnell
lived to see the "Five doctors" 20th anniversary special. Medics pleaded him not to perform as his health was at an all-time low, and doing this could potentially destroy him. He didn't listen and accepted the BBC's offer to come back. Unlike Patrick Troughton (who at this point was going grey), rather than wearing a wig to cover his bold head(he'd been battling leukaemia so chemotherapy), Hartnell decided to stay bold so fans could see what he'd been through for this special.
Sure enough, his health took a massive nosedive he was hospitalised just days afterwards. He died in his sleep from a stroke on March 28th 1984 at the age of 76, eerily enough just 2 days before Peter Davidson ended his run.
(1908-1984)
Patrick Troughton
lived long enough to join his fellow doctors on the "Dimensions in time" EastEnders crossover. While at the American convention in 1987, he suffered a heart attack in his hotel room immediately after ordering room service. Just in time for the hotel employee to find him silently screaming on the floor. He had to perform lifesaving and told a passerby to call 911 and that Patrick Troughton was having a heart attack. Paramedics arrived within the hour and wasted no time to resuscitate Troughton, while thousands of whovians waited anxiously outside for any signs of life. There Troughton appeared out the entrance in a wheelchair with a breathing mask and a blanket. And suddenly thousands of voices cheered and applauded in relief. He was flown back to England the following day and reluctantly agreed to retire and focus on recovering. But then 6 years later Troughton made a surprise appearance in the "Dimensions in time" charity crossover with EastEnders. He appears in the beginning making an urgent distress signal to the fourth doctor telling him that the rani have invaded the doctors timeline and he needs help, before getting cut off. Then he appears again at the end to talks to the seventh doctor through transmission. they argue a little then second congratulates and thanks seventh and is about to bring out his flute, but seventh cuts him off before he can play.
This special marked his last ever work before his death and his only work after coming out of retirement. He died on February 17th 1994 at the age of 73 after falling down the stairs. By the time his postman found him, he was already dead. The coroner gave the verdict that he had a cardiac arrest and broke his neck and ribs on the way down and also suffered from kidney failure. His death was announced later that day.
(1920-1994)
Jon Pertwee
lets just say he lives to see a lot. "Destiny of the doctors" video game, "Scream of the Shalka" miniseries and to see how the 2005 relaunch reintroduced Doctor Who to modern generations. He appeared voicing the Third doctor alongside his other fellow doctors in the 1997 PC game "Destiny of the doctors". After this he decided to go into semi-retirement keeping close contact with Doctor who and Worzel Gummidge fans and making occasional TV interviews. In 2003 he made a cameo voice appearance in the flash animated "Scream of the Shalka" made to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dr who. Also in 2003 he began making voice-over appearances in a number of Big Finish audioplays up until his death. In 2006 his incarnation of Worzel Gummidge made a comeback in the form of "Worzel Gummidge & friends" airing on CBeebies for 3 seasons and 28 episodes. In 2007, when Noel Clarke was taken ill, Jon was asked to appear on the Dr who edition of Weakest Link. He agreed. He made it up to round 4 before getting voted off tactically. That same year he became the only former doctor to date to receive a knighthood for his services to television, becoming Sir John Devon Roland Pertwee. In 2009, to celebrate his 90th birthday, he made a guest appearance on "The One Show", where he talked about how he got the part of Third Doctor and answered some of the fans most biggest questions.
His health wouldn't start to decline until mid-2011 when he contracted Hepatitis C. Its believed he accidentally contracted it during a blood test, and a needle which had not been properly cleaned. Fans from across the globe sent their condolences and best wishes to him, to the point that he made a facebook post where he read out his favourites. When Dr Who's 50th anniversary celebration came around, the BBC asked Jon if he wanted to be involved, particularly in the episode "The day of the doctor". He agreed, but his wife explained that whatever involvement he did have would be very limited due to his ill-fading health. To get around this, the BBC and Jon reached an agreement to record his lines in his home. Christopher Eccleston was set to reprise his role as the Ninth doctor but turned it down. In his place Jon would appear as the Third doctor. His scenes were filmed between 2nd and 10th of April. His first scene was reminiscent to that of William Hartnells in "The three doctors", where 11th, 10th and War doctor are trying to land the TARDIS in the tower of London but can't. Then they get a transmission from 3rd doctor who tells them to stop arguing and find a way to cancel the detention. This scene was filmed while he was in a wheelchair, in front of a green-screen of his TARDIS console. Another scene was near the end of the episode when 11th is talking with the curator, where it cuts to 10th and 3rd are having a similar simultaneous conversation revealing the other two to be trapped in a paradox. They even make reference to the upcoming 12th doctor and Steve Moffat. Although it was the voice and face of Jon Pertwee, it was actually his son Sean who provided the body of 3rd doctor with Jons face plastered over via a wig, motion capture and deep-fake technology.
"The day of the doctor" would prove to be Jons last ever acting work. On April 24th 2013 while production of the episode was still underway, the BBC received the news that he had passed away that afternoon. It was believed that he was taking a nap and suffered from heart failure and died peacefully in his sleep. He was at the ripe age 93 years old. His death was announced the following day and it was told that The 50th anniversary episode would be his last ever appearance. "Day of the doctor" was dedicated to his memory.
(1919-2013)
That would be a very tragic take on events if 1,2, and 3 lived for the anniversary specials
@@theelite1324 I might make an updated version soon.
@@lion.288 you should
@@theelite1324 Sure. Once I gather up some ideas.
Thirteen’s intro visuals and music is so sick tbh
Fantastic
Everytime theres a face in these I expect them to wink at me
I'm not a fan of DW but I absolutely love it's theme song and intros.
Especially the late 70's intros and the Matt Smith intros.
"....SCREAM OF THE SHALKA..." that one was too short to be so good...!
the holy grail of doctor who has arrived!
17:02 for nuWho
I really dig the opening trumpet riff in the beginning of Matt Smith's -- and they never brought it back 😭
Splendid fellows all of them.
Brilliant, thank you! I play a game called Doctor Who: The time of the Daleks with my wife and this music shall be great in the background as we play!
22:35 my all time favourite
I don't know what people think about Jodie's era. But I love her Doctor Who Theme Intro. It's look like an original First Doctor Intro and upscale to Marvel or cinematic quality. 43:11
Jodie's Era: Shit
Jodie's Theme: Lit
@@NPC-nn4qeJodie Herself:Fun
@@alexandertelson3713 I'm still somewhat bitter that they ruined such a fun doctor with such awful writing :(
Damn, that evolution
The season 7b intros are my favorite and it’s such a shame they’re only used for a small amount of episodes. The second doctor’s intros with color look amazing as well
Series*
@@DrWhoFanJ 🤓👆
16:24 It is SO WEIRD to see Steven Moffat's name in a classic-looking title sequence.
The children’s relief one is weirder, it’s really classic
Good job Robbie nice one mate 👍
God nuwho season 4 titles is so good
love how capaldi played the guitar for the intro at 39:00
I feel like I am hypnotised after that
Yes, the doctor who themes can hypnosis you and possibly not clip out of reality into the back rooms, but my tardis will save me and I'll find a way to bypass all backroom levels.
stunning 4k edition
All intros ranked imo:
1. Eccleston/Tennant (Series 1+2)
2. Tennant (Series 4)
3. Colin Baker
4. Colin Baker (Trial of the timelords)
5. Davison
6. Tom Baker (last season)
7. Tom Baker (first 70s variation)
8. Pertwee (last variation)
9. Tom Baker (second 70s variation)
10. Smith (Series 5+6)
11. Troughton
12. Smith (Series 7B)
13. Hartnell
14. Smith (Series 7A)
15. Capaldi (Guitar version)
16. Pertwee (first variation)
17. Capaldi (series 9)
18. Capaldi (series 10)
19. Capaldi (series 8)
20. Whittaker
21. Pertwee (Carneval of Monsters)
22. McCoy
My explanations for the ranking:
1. Eccleston/Tennant era: Original intro with great “calm“ and broad legato playing orchestra and fitting drums. The blue/red vortex is iconic and the CGI hasn’t aged one bit. The string accompaniment is a nice addition
2. Tennant (series 4): This one gets you excited for sure. The only bad thing about this is the Bassline isn’t clear enough because of the drums. The guitar chords and the piano at the end are phenomenal
3. Colin Baker: Fantastic arrangement that just screams 80s and fits the JNT era so well. The stars forming Colins face and his wink are by far the best iteration of having the Doctors face in the intro sequence.
4. Trial Of The Timelords: The darker (even more 80s sounding) variation sets the mood for the episode perfectly and is far too overhated. Easily the most underrated title sequence out there.
5./6. Davison/Baker: They really took a weird picture of him (same with the 80s season 18 Tom Baker intro), apart from that, the arrangement is the same as Colin Bakers one.
7. Tom Baker: This intro has the superior opening (that space like looking tube thing) and is perhaps the most iconic intro of the show
8. Pertwee (last variation): See 7.; the only thing that makes this intro inferior to the one that came after it was the fact that having Pertwee‘s whole body being there seem kind of weird
9. Tom Baker (second variation): Unlike his last intro, he doesn’t have a confusing expression on his face. The Tardis opening is also iconic, but i prefer the tube from the earlier variation of the intro.
10. Smith (series 5+6): Probably has the best sound effect at the beginning. The addition of the little heroic brass melody at the start of the theme was a nice touch but in retrospect makes the theme sound quite cartoonish. The visuals are awesome and the slower pace of the Tardis moving through the blue/red vortex fits the more mechanical, less orchestral and more electronic sounding theme very well after the bombastic high energy series 4 intro
11. Troughton: This intro is sooo trippy and I absolutely love it. The added little melody at the beginning was very welcomed and its the first title sequence to feature a doctors face.
12. Smith (Series 7B): Definitely overhated as well. The visuals are pretty great and the Tardis moving very fast in the beginning was neat. It’s unfortunately way too brassy and the Tardis doors opening was silly (even though some opening eventually had to do it sooner or later). Also Smiths face appearing was a very nice addition.
13. Hartnell: Less trippy than its successor, but still unbelievably iconic and surprisingly modern. Truly timeless. The original theme is also literally flawless
14. Smith (Series 7A): 2012 Instagram filters
15. Capaldi (Guitar): An improved version of what is a truly terrible arrangement of the theme.
16. Pertwee (first variation): It having more colors isnt the problem. Pertwee not looking at the camera is. And the transitional effects aren’t all good. However, this intro has one of the best closing sequences that is truly one of the most trippy intros out there. Has a very 70s charme that is just lovable without a doubt
17/18/19: Capaldi: See 15.; the clocks never worked for me. The visuals look awfully low budget and not having Peters full face but just his eyes was questionable to me at least. The Tardis also looks worse than in the 70s (but not as bad as in the McCoy intro). The added fog in series 9/10 are an improvement i guess
20. Whittaker: Musically, this one is honestly a disgrace to the original with its ridiculous drums and the weird “drop“-like effect at the beginning. Sounds like a dubstep parody. Visually not too amazing but for sure not as cheap looking as the Capaldi Intros anymore
21. Pertwee (Carneval of Monsters): isn’t as bad as everyone says but it’s still goofy and not in a good way.
22. McCoy: Easily the worst. By far the most unsatisfying arrangement of the theme with very annoying mosquito-like synths that ruin the great melody. The Tardis CGI is horrendous, even for the 80s and the logo looks like total garbage. The only good thing about this intro is McCoys wink. This intro lowkey killed Doctor Who (at least in my not to be taken too seriously head canon)
I still love all of them in varying degrees
Kudos to musician Delia Derbyshire , composer Ron Grainer and the BBC radiophonic workshop for the early themes . They created an iconic theme without a lot of the technology used in music today
Jodies titles are fucking sick. My faves are hers, Capaldis and Colin bakers
33:16 - In 2012 we saw the first appearance of the doctor's face in the opening titles since 1989 if I am right? This was done, as Steven Moffat knew he was approaching the 50th anniversary in 2013, and the face in the opening titles was kept for Peter Capaldi's tenure, but dropped for Jodie Whittaker's run.
27:15 season 5 start
Thanks. There are obviously lots of tiny variations between episodes, especially in the Revived Series but unless one compiles every single episode's title sequence, this is an adequate collection.
It's got to be Derbyshire's original for me. After the passage of time, all of the other ones will look and sound cheesy, but the original will never not be otherworldly and unnerving.
So true! I think the unreleased episode 1 version is so cool,with the thunder at the beginning
I believe at 28:48 from Series 6 in 2011 was the first time the corporate BBC logo was seen next to the main Doctor Who logo.
i absolutely love the title sequence of the second half of season 7. It’s very reminiscent of the old sequences imo. My second favorite is season 8
Season 7 and Season 8 only have one title sequence between them, that is also shared with Season 9 and Season 10.
I dont get why people hate season 11. I mean like resolution of the daleks onwards, fair enough. But i like series 11 and the intros show why i like them. Series 11 is meant to be like classic who again. Like the theme is just a modernised version of the classic derbyshire theme. And it goes back to the basis of doctor who being educational as opposed to drama. I think that’s probably why most new who fans hate series 11, because they’re so used to doctor who be a drama with the doctor’s companions being in love with him half the time. Either that or theyre sexsist
So true
27:17 is the best
The first one is just spine chilling and amazing ❤
Happy 59th birthday Doctor Who! Looking forward to more Timey Wimey adventures, next year.
I love this theme medley to relax too!
Шикарно 🤯
I love Matt smiths first intro
Out of the old doctor who theme tunes my favourite is the 7th Doctor theme tune I like all the others
4:40 Jon Pertwee wound up being my favorite of all the original Doctors. Though I started watching Peter Davison first.
I can't believe they don't show the tardis for Jodie White taker intro I liked to see it flying in the intro
Good god why is the Delaware version of the third's intro so unintentionally terrifying
Damn comprehensive, this! 👍🔬🎓👓 Those cartoon colour Troughtons are bloody scary (looks like he painted on his eyelids)!
I feel I should just point out there may be one item missing though - I swear I once saw a McCoy sequence that didn't have his full face on it (it was a different image - very subtly different) and I think it was used in S24 (I think it was Time And The Rani - probably ep3) - if you read articles on it there may be a mention - in fact when the Marvel magazine interviewed Oliver Elms back in 1987 he mentioned the alternative version AS WELL AS the UNUSED UNBROADCAST version of the same sequence which experimentally had a white background and was a prototype, but again that was never seen while the "phantom face" one was - very similar to Matt Smith's final series but described as 'skull like' because of the lighting and mixing on it!)
If you can track down off air recordings of season 24 that would prove it, and I have seen those broadcast copies.
There’s no need to find offair recordings given it’s presented on the Season 24 Collection set.
