The official Doctor Who channel commented here for a reason - there aren't many great Doctor Who theme recreations. At least not accurate. This recreation, is both great and accurate. Excellent job!
@@David_Burgess27 It's still faithful to the original, isn't it? But as if they'd been given enough money to do it justice. I wish there was a way to default to this on the blu-ray sets. Great work! Got yourself a sub. 👏👏
I'm not going to lie, I cried when I watched this. Remembrance of The Daleks was the first Doctor Who I watched, and to see the intro recreated almost frame-for-frame... it fills me with emotion. Thank you sir, thank you from the bottom of my Doctor-Who-filled heart.
A fantastic recreation. Some people laugh at the original sequence now, but i can't help but marvel at the quality of it considering it was done in 1987. Very ambitious, and some great camera work. Really only the logo itself has actually dated. Maybe the little rocks too, they look a little bit shabby now.
@@archvaldor to be fair, star wars was largely practical effects, matte paintings and models. None of the original three films used CGI effects, so completely generating a title screen, especially for a show that at the time was struggling, is impressive
The only true complaint I have about the original 1987 version is, that the Letters W and H are clipping at the top, but otherwise a remarkable intro :)
Bloody marvelous. If they ever do any special recreations of McCoy episodes for the blu-rays like they did with Terror Of The Vervoids they should use this.
I NEVER get tired of watching 7's intro. Still my favorite after twenty and change years watching the show. Feel like you captured it the best that it could be.
Everything about this is so clean, each detail striking you like a punch to the face. While the original had its flaws, given that it was done in 6 weeks, for it to be the first Who intro to fully use CGI is incredible. Especially for 1987. What you’ve done here my friend is make that intro into something that is absolutely beautiful!
I'm very impressed with your renditions of the Doctor Who sequences from the 1960s to present. However this is my favourite sequence of them all. Especially when I can see the original and your version side to side. I love how you used the Remembrance of the Daleks title as that was my favourite storyline for the McCoy era simply because it brought new life to the Daleks at the time i.e. the ability to hover up stairs...frightening TV watching at the time. I look forward to seeing more of your creativity. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely fantastic! It's the first recreation of the McCoy title sequence I saw which seems realistic. It's really amazing. For those who want to know more about this title sequence, there's an interessant extra about it on the DVD of Time and the Rani called "Helter-Skelter".
As a Sylvester McCoy years kid and seeing this in 2024, I thought this was gonna be a car crash but wow, blown away with keeping the original sequence and the new improved HD format! I would love to see this applied to remastered episodes of this era, especially the Daleks series!
I'm surprised that they didn't use this on the special edition 25th anniversary bluray set. It would have made sense to use this to accompany the new versions with updates special FX.
...This is just great; no other description needed. Forget the actual description that goes with the video. I always liked the McCoy Titles; this just makes them better. :)
Wow... knockout amount of detail, little subtle changes really add to it and never take away from it, beautifully rendered and produced. Thank you so much for this, it's made me quite emotional!
How has this been on RUclips for 5 years and I've only just seen it. This is the goddamn best video I've seen in forever! It's so smooth and yet so faithful to the original.
I've just discovered your channel. This is one of my most favourite Who title sequences ever and just love your reconstruction of it. Loved it back in the day. Love it even more now.
You know in a couple of years this video will be 10 years old. This will probably one of those videos that will last. Especially for how the original has aged in our current generation.
I Know im 6 years late but if the BBC ever releases special edition or anniversary editions of 7th Doctor stories they should use your version of the intro, it would fit in great. Have a nice day. :)
I know I am responding to a 3 year old video but this was great! If the '87 viewing audience saw what was in this video back then, they would have been blown away!
Absolutely delicious. If I were to reach deep for criticism, I'd simply point out that there is visible brown around his left eye, and that maybe the face itself could have been made very so slightly more transparent (it's a bit sharp and in your face this way - but some may actually prefer that). A lovely recreation that I'd happily see before any of McCoy's lovely episodes.
Just rediscovered this and it is absolutely beautiful!!! I really wish the BBC would sneakily replace the opening titles on a few random stories with this one!!!! :-) There’s so many bits I appreciate and love - probably my favorite is just after he winks and the stars explode outward - in this version there is a subtle vortex swirl to the stars which I dont think is in the original (but should have been!), The 3 meteors that go spinning into the spiral galaxy near the beginning look like actual asteroids now instead of artifacts from the game asteroids! :-) There’s a subtle nebulous gaseous swirl around the edge of the spiral galaxy’s arms, and there’s a reflective quality to the temporal bubble the TARDIS is in. And love the logo - the way the red outline comes up around the WHO is subtly different and beautiful. I have seen other recreations of some of the other sequences - I feel the ones of the last 3rd Doctor and first 4th Doctor sequence are perfect and simply cant be improved upon with modern cgi, those original sequences are just astonishing and will always be. Actually I take that back - someone had managed to do a “widescreen” version of the 4th Doctor’s 1st sequence and it looked amazing - it just looked like the original sequence had always been designed that way (but with no loss of the top or bottom of the picture to artificially make it wider, it was just wider and beautiful!). This sequence here however improves so much on the original 7th Doctor sequence - probably because it was early cgi and this is advanced versions of the same tech whereas the 4th Doctor sequence was slit scan tech and to my knowledge has never been improved on, so anything else is just current CGI trying to mimic slit scan and thus those types of recreation fail, whereas this one not only recreates it but improves on it drastically! LOVE THIS!!!! :-)
before you released this I was saying to NX visual that it was all about trying to recreate / outdo the modern titles on youtube and that not enough people were going for the classics, there is just so much you can do due to the advancement of technology now and it seemed such a missed oppertunity, I love it! do more!
This is beautifully done, with a real affinity for the original sequence, and I love the subtle motion smoothness you've introduced in places, such as the three asteroids wiping aside and the banking on the WHO letters. I wouldn't say it was "one of the first CGI title sequences in television history" though, not by a long shot. CG was well imbedded in television as a titling tool for a good five years or so. The Tripods titles in 1984 are a noteworthy example of CGI, and from about 1982 onwards there are literally hundreds of game shows and news bulletins and channel idents using CG on both sides of the Atlantic (to mention but two countries) - mostly with all-CGI elements. You want early - The New Avengers from 1976 used elements that were generated and morphed on a massive mainframe computer: not the whole sequence, admittedly, but that's CGI right there, a good decade earlier.
i'll be honest i always thought the asteroids at 0:34 were supposed to be three pieces of trash when i was a kid, and i don't think the former occurred to me until i watched this recreation for the first time. nicely done!
Fantastic!
Doctor Who Ah, thank you! :D
haribo fantastic
Thank you :D I'm subscribed to the mag, so I saw it, and was very flattered indeed!
I am
Fantastic Recreation :D
It isn't just a recreation, it's an improvement.
DaDoctorWhoFan True
Things do seem to have a tendency to improve in 30 years.
This was only recently pointed out to me, after some dissing on the original's shortcomings. This is a wonderful upgrade to the original.
More than that
For example meteors aren't paper balls
Liked his era, his stories and the title sequence. I met him at a convention and he was one of the nicest people you could ever meet!
Same he was super polite and I miss him 😭
Stargazer he isn’t dead, he still goes to conventions and stuff
Eli Fybush I know I just miss him lots
Eli Fybush I don’t normally go to conventions much anymore
*mll

Excellent job!
Adi Aharoni Thank you! 😀
Two years on I feel it necessary to point out it's a title sequence recreation, not a theme recreation.
But it really is bloody good.
Adi Aharoni it’s not JUST a recreation it’s better
More to the point , where am l
who am l , & who are you ? So
you did it in over 24 hours huh
How much did it cost you Guy's
Just wondering 😱😳😭

0:56 I feel like this bit here, with the stern look, the wink and then smile really shows of 7’s personality

i started with To baker and 'The key to time' but loved Mccoy too
A fantastic recreation. Some people laugh at the original sequence now, but i can't help but marvel at the quality of it considering it was done in 1987. Very ambitious, and some great camera work. Really only the logo itself has actually dated. Maybe the little rocks too, they look a little bit shabby now.
You know Star Wars came out in 1979? BBC had no money and the effects were mostly pretty amateurish for the time.
@@archvaldor to be fair, star wars was largely practical effects, matte paintings and models. None of the original three films used CGI effects, so completely generating a title screen, especially for a show that at the time was struggling, is impressive
The only true complaint I have about the original 1987 version is, that the Letters W and H are clipping at the top, but otherwise a remarkable intro :)
The tardis model looks pretty dated as well, but for 1987 it was definitely groundbreaking.
Also some of the aliasing on the letters but that can be smoothed out on the blu ray
Having watched these titles as a kid - I *swear* this is how I envisioned his titles looking xD
Bloody marvelous. If they ever do any special recreations of McCoy episodes for the blu-rays like they did with Terror Of The Vervoids they should use this.
That’d be great!
Fantastic sequence mate! Honestly gave me chills how detailed that nebula was alone!
this is actually an outstanding recreation. love the start, but the whole thing feels genuine and proper.
I NEVER get tired of watching 7's intro. Still my favorite after twenty and change years watching the show. Feel like you captured it the best that it could be.
Sylvester & Sophie's era is one of my favourite times of Doctor Who.
Your rendition is magic, well done 💙👏

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTANSTIC
The attention to detail here is extremely impressive. Well done!

It still remains one of my favourite intros, it’s just so.. Doctor who! You really did this beautiful title justice
Brilliant work. This is the sequence I can remember being captivated by as a child and you've certainly done it justice here.
This is definitely one of my favorite ones you've done so far. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely perfect from start to finish - well done!
This is astonishing. McCoy is my favourite doctor and his title sequence is my favourite. this was beautiful to watch and genuinely made my day
Absolutely fantastic! It's the first recreation of the McCoy title sequence I saw which seems realistic. It's really amazing. For those who want to know more about this title sequence, there's an interessant extra about it on the DVD of Time and the Rani called "Helter-Skelter".
I love how funnily enough with how high quality this recreation is, you can see that McCoy's face was spray-painted silver. Excellent job!
best recreation of this title sequence, I've seen, I love it! :)
I can tell a lot of love went into this. And I love it. Amazing work.
As a Sylvester McCoy years kid and seeing this in 2024, I thought this was gonna be a car crash but wow, blown away with keeping the original sequence and the new improved HD format! I would love to see this applied to remastered episodes of this era, especially the Daleks series!

The only good McCoy recreation.
Well done! This entire intro sequence is abolutely badass on its own, but now with updated graphics it's just incredible.
Good lord the quality coming off of this is astounding. Top tier remastering.
...This is just great; no other description needed. Forget the actual description that goes with the video.
I always liked the McCoy Titles; this just makes them better. :)
That is superb. A seriously great piece. Well done!
Wow! great work! Sylvester McCoy was my Doctor Who growing up.
What a coincidence that I watch 'Remeberance of the Daleks' on the same day this came out. It's fantastic. :D
This is the only 1987 title sequence recreation that i really like
I hope this ends up on one of the blu-rays!
One of the best recreations of a Doctor Who title sequence that I have ever seen! :D
this is a 5 star, 10/10 recreation of my favorite doctor who title sequence
I've been waiting ages for a fan to do a really good update and this is the closest yet. well done!!!
Wow... knockout amount of detail, little subtle changes really add to it and never take away from it, beautifully rendered and produced. Thank you so much for this, it's made me quite emotional!
I love how you even got the asteroids to sync perfectly with the music just like in the original intro. So nice!
Very well done! It was so good that the official Doctor Who youtube channel commented on it!
I have seen Sylvester McCoy lately in a documentary about the real Marigold hotel in India.
Best seventh doctor title sequence recreation i've ever seen. You're extremely talented! Keep up the great work.
I’m very pedantic about Who sequences from the Classic Series but jeez this, THIS, is out of this world fella....
This feels like an intro to a video game adaptation of The Dark Dimension if there was one
Amazing mate! You've done it again! Great work!
Very well done! I think McCoy's intro is actually my favorite
2nd, 4th and 7th for me are my favorite doctors so their titles are the ones that really get me
I can't stop watching this. Gives me goosebumps! Fantastic work
This is Gorgeous, I've watched this several times & a grin always creeps across my face to the build up in the intro. Fabulous
brings a tear to my eye cloister well done
How has this been on RUclips for 5 years and I've only just seen it.
This is the goddamn best video I've seen in forever!
It's so smooth and yet so faithful to the original.
This is completely amazing!
Brilliant, just brilliant.
Gave me chills and brought back happy memories Thank you for making this.
This is by a wide margin now, my favorite fan re-imagined intro. You did a magnificent job!
I've just discovered your channel. This is one of my most favourite Who title sequences ever and just love your reconstruction of it. Loved it back in the day. Love it even more now.
Very very good indeed! Love to see this tweaked and updated. Incredible work tho.
Work of a genius then and now decades on. A joy to watch.
The BBC should use this for a special edition blu-ray episode!
I swear this is what the 87 intro look like to me as a kid 😂. Great work!
Just found this and you have made my day. I salute you, and your children, and your children's children.
This is beautiful. Fantastic recreation of my favourite dr who title sequence!
Jesus Christ that was amazing! McCoy always has been, and always will be, "MY" Doctor. Thank you :)
That looks just downright *gorgeous!* Well made!
It's loved so much that the official doctor who channel loved it now that's a good thing
That was amazing, wonderfully recreated.
Smoothly animated, and very accurate to the original. Definitely the best remake of this title sequence I've seen. It looks amazing!
As an American Doctor Who fan since The 4th Doctor I am impressed with Sylvester McCoy's recreation CGI. Awesome job man!
You know in a couple of years this video will be 10 years old. This will probably one of those videos that will last. Especially for how the original has aged in our current generation.
Utterly gorgeous piece of work
BRAVO.
That was the best recreation of Seven's titles that I've ever seen- all the others get it wrong some way or another, but this was perfect.
This is wonderful. A very faithful recreation.
How can you not love this? It’s got the feel of classic Who while having that brilliant touch of the 21st century!
Superb! Beautifully done!
I Know im 6 years late but if the BBC ever releases special edition or anniversary editions of 7th Doctor stories they should use your version of the intro, it would fit in great. Have a nice day. :)
This made me so nostalgic as I grew up with the 7th doctor (I was born in 2004 but Sylvester was my first doctor)
All the Doctors are fantastic, but everyone does have their own particular Doctor. Tom Baker was my first Doctor. Not a bad connection, to be sure.
I always come back and watch this every so often. Beautiful. The weird thing is, it's looks how the original looked to me as a kid in the 80s.
nice, phenomenal work
Of course Remembrance. I think that Episode 2-3 cliffhanger is forever etched in my brain. The splash, explosion into the episode always got me tense.
I know I am responding to a 3 year old video but this was great! If the '87 viewing audience saw what was in this video back then, they would have been blown away!
My goodness, these are astounding! I love them!
Wow, this video is so good that the official doctor who RUclips channel commented! wow!
Damn this was one of the first CGI intros in TV History?
That's just so goddamn cool
The first sci fi cgi intro was possibly the Star ⭐️ Trek tng theme
It's amazing to think that in 1987, this took 6 weeks to make while in 2016, it just took a little under a day.
Absolutely delicious. If I were to reach deep for criticism, I'd simply point out that there is visible brown around his left eye, and that maybe the face itself could have been made very so slightly more transparent (it's a bit sharp and in your face this way - but some may actually prefer that).

Wow, fantastic!!! The BBC should use this for the 7th Doctor's DVDs
Utterly flawless and fantastic!!
This was fantastic. Great reconstruction.
I wanna see a version where the "WHO" letters land but on the bottom it rights "Cares?"
This is beautiful work.
i'll be honest i always thought the asteroids at 0:34 were supposed to be three pieces of trash when i was a kid, and i don't think the former occurred to me until i watched this recreation for the first time. nicely done!
Absolutely splendid! Great work once again, Dave! Defiantly one of your best ;)
