    The person who performed the original Dr who theme was a female member of the BBC radiophonic workshop, Delia Derbyshire. She had quite a job creating this sound as there were no synthesisers back in the 60s. It was all done by recording sound and cutting tape. Derbyshire never got the recognition she deserved for her hand in creating the Dr who theme tune. The composer was Ron Grainer but she deserves credit for her hard work in realising it.

    6th Doctor #1: New bass, along with more sound effects. New doctor too!
    6th Doctor #2: Okay, completely new tune. This one's weird.
    7th Doctor: Pretty good, especially since this track is starting the 90s even in '87.
    8th Doctor/Movie: It's the movie. You can't _not_ have a dramatic intro. And it nails!
    9th Doctor: It's the creepy original, now remastered for 2005! This one's probably the scariest (childhood).
    10th Doctor #1: Same tune, but now more up in your face. I retract last statement to put it here.
    10th Doctor #2: Orchestral! Nice twist, the strings helped out a lot!
    11th Doctor #1: I like this one, probably my favorite. It pops, for some reason!

    9:31 I'll never forget the 23rd of August. I was 13 at the time. My dad asked me if I wanted to watch this show called "Doctor Who", said he had the first episode of the new season recorded. I'd heard of the show, but never watched it, so I decided to give it a go. If seeing Capaldi for the first time didn't excite me, this intro did. Hearing the sounds of the clocks backing the bassline, seeing the gears disappear when the time vortex twists into existence, it was magical for 13-year-old me.
    My dad didn't like the show, but I did. So much so that he had our DVR keep recording new episodes. He's gone now. I wish I could go back and thank him for introducing me to Doctor Who.

    Gotta say Capaldi's intro is the best in terms of what's actually going on onscreen. Showing the basics of time via parts of clocks ticking and increasing roman numerals to swirling planets and the like with the TARDIS at the center of it all, really shows you just how big the scale of the show can be. Nothing is limited they have all of space and time on their hands. And of course Capaldi's eyes at the end to remind just how much Capaldi is the doctor. I love it. Bringing back the doctor's face worked so well for Peter. Was never in love with the score being played for that intro though. The best score is obviously the RTD era one.

      So I like all the different representations of space and time shown off. To show that even though how it’s been represented has been changed it’s still all the same in the TARDIS.

    Growing up in the 70's, I don't remember the Daleks ever scaring me. And I don't remember the Cybermen ever scaring me. Honestly, I don't remember any monster ever scaring me.
    But every week, without fail, I would have to hide behind the living room cabinet, just for the opening credits. Because that one split second of Tom's face, when it goes all negative at 2:19. THAT used to absolutely terrify me.

      I started watching Who as a small child in the mid 70s. This was during the infamous Phillip Hinchcliff Gothic Horror phase - I was scared s******s by the theme AND the stories. I had vivid nightmares of people being put into mulching machines (Sarah Jane Smith "Seeds of Doom") for some years. Doctor Who really was frightening back then.

      As you may be aware, you can go frame by frame at that time by hitting the comma and period keys on your keyboard. It appears that frames that scare you occur late in the 2:19 time, shortly before the 2:20 mark. I'm sorry/you're welcome in advance.

    i don’t know if this was intentional but in the doctor who movie title when paul mcgann and sylvester mccoys name popped up there was a little extra instrument playing which i think is a pretty cool detail if it was on purpose

    I just noticed that the tardis model in the eleventh hour is the design from the eccleston/tennant era, and in the start of the eleventh hour while it's flying around london it the model keeps changing between smith's box and the other box.
