@@lunayoshi I know I miss Sarah-Jane still. I'm just so very glad that in Sarah Jane Adventures both Sarah Jane and Jo Grant finally got to do a story together. I wish there had been more of them acting together.
I like how the intro almost never changed besides the instruments. Like how the 2005 Intro used the same exact recording from the 1970's and added just a bit more.
Ngl, I’ve never liked that intro at all. It’s honestly my least favorite. Idk why either. I’ve always been intrigued by the seventh doctor, but I haven’t gotten into watching his era yet
5:35 Was so important in 1996. "It's back and about time!" It was when the BBC finally gave some love back to Doctor Who. Took a few more years till Russell T Davies came along....but we waited 😉
I love Capaldi’s! It’s sounds great and I love the emphasis on the “time” travel rather than just the space travel. Much more unique. I love Davison’s, Tennant’s and Smith’s too.
Did you know that the 12th Doctor's title sequence was basically created by a fan who put a demo up on RUclips? His name is Billy Hanshaw and you'll see his name in the end credits for the 12th Doctor episodes. I've forgotten what his RUclips name was, it's in my playlisted videos somewhere... Moffat saw the RUclips and got the BBC contractors to make something extremely similar.
Even after 14 years Series 4’s opening at 7:49 is still my favourite opening But I do have to admit hearing that bit at 10:48 again in the new intro sent chills down my spine and brought me back to when I was a kid watching The 10th Doctor
I just teared up, when I heared 11's theme! He was my very first Doctor and I feel utterly nostalgic and happy hearing it! All of them are SO WELL DONE and the newest ones visuals are UNMATCHED, but 11 will forever be the most special to me. 🥺💕💕💞💞💞💕💖

I’ll never get why they used the planet of the dead for this one. The series 4 theme stared with voyage of the damned. Too bad both of those episodes were terrible
There's not nearly enough love shown to Jodie's intro tbh. The sound of those MEATY DRUMS is so absolutely wonderful. It feels like my whole skull is resonating its great.
When you heard 11's theme for the first time you knew the show was going to be different. You knew it was going to be dark and dangerous and you couldn't wait.
@Hexor_Tyri feel like there should also be a bit of a limit on the pessimism. You’ve gotta remember that every 10 years or so the writers change, and we’re what, 6 years in already? It’ll be fine.
@@birdmcrandomsux agreed. People have short memories. Way, way back John Nathan-Turner's time in charge was considered disastrous by many fans at the time - if the internet had existed the uproar would have been huge. Yet here we are, over 40 years later. 🤷
Always some love for Delia Derbyshire, who put the first one together. And Murray Gold, who brought it new life in 2005 and again today. Also Segun Akinola, who took the theme back towards it's roots in 2018.
I think the Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker ones were the best. It's trippy, eccentric stuff that we do best. Heath Robinson in some ways, but so effective. The wink that Sylvester McCoy gives is so reassuring, especially after Colin's slightly sinister grin, though lovely Colin was done wrong.
It could be argued that there are 3 missing title sequences in this compilation... 1) The Third Doctor title sequence where the opening theme continues rather than repeats the same sequence until fade (Mind of Evil Episode 1, being an example) 2) The Delaware opening titles, as used during a broadcast in Australia and released in error on Episode 2 of Carnival of Monsters and Episode 5 of Frontier in Space of the UK VHS releases. 3) The 'alternate colour' opening title sequence for The Ark in Space (which was a purposeful piece of experimentation by the production team).
Yup agree. They were always changing and experimenting with Pertwee's opening titles, it used to change from one story to the next. Remember watching the 'Carnival' vid when I was younger and always being taken by surprise by the Delaware theme. love it so much 😍
@@YesterdayMachine With me it was always Ep 5 of Frontier in Space that took me by surprise. By the time we got to the fifth episodes I'd forgotten about the Delaware theme then BANG!
For me it gets a little repetitive over time, which while i respect your opinion ive gotta go with peter’s title sequence (yes, i know tom baker was first but that was only for season 19)
The new 2023 intro is just astonishing! The new music score, the new camera effects, and the return of the old-style with the TARDIS being flipped through a vortex.
I'd love a cold open where the doctor is escaping something following him in the vortex, and the usual into is intercut with him frantically flying about the tardis pulling switches and levers with sparks and smoke, all while the intro is still playing, cutting back and forth between the intro and the doctor
I now most people don’t like it. But honestly, my favorite intro is the series 7b one. I think it’s a nice mix of the modern more action oriented intros with the more psychedelic imagery of the older intros. Also the music is a bop.
My personal favourite is the Whittaker one. It's abstract, mysterious, the bass drop grabs your attention and it gets you ready for the adventure ahead. Say what you will about said adventures but it's a great title sequence. The runners are are McCoy's titles, Tom Baker's first titles and the Matt Smith first titles
I love to listen to all the themes back to back. They are all great in their own right. But none of the other sends shivers down my spine like the ninth Doctors opening theme. Nine was my frist Doctor and will always be MY Doctor. ❤
I adore how Peter's showed gears and the galaxy to emphasize "time and space" while also bringing back the part of classic theme songs where the current doctor's face appears in the theme song (that was actually brought back in Matt Smith's second intro before Jodie removed it)
I brought up my daughter on Dr Who. And I'm a doctor too (only in engineering sadly. But I have designed satellites!) Anyway, I was driving her back from school about 13 years ago and we were listening to Radio 4. The Dr Who theme tune came on and my seven year old little girl laughed and said "It's Delia Derbyshire! And the BBC Radiophonic Workshop!" She's now 20, and off saving the planet, but seriously she was a cool kid.
I absolutely ADORE the visuals for Ncuti's opening. The addition of the piano is also sooo good. I love them all so much but they all just seem to be getting better.
First one: looks like a roar shack test Second one: same but with Moe Howard from the Three stooges Third one it has color going through light speed Fourth: going through ludicrous speed Fifth: kicking and screaming into the 80's Sixth: slowly looking like the Muppets with that smile Seventh: direct to video 80's music video Eight: movie quality but the logo is walking away Nine through eleven: the TARDIS forgot something and had to make a u turn Twelfth: looks like it's actually going through time and space Thirteenth: someone has seen Doctor Strange
Wish they had kept the end bit of the latest intro for this video, instead of cutting out early. Music's not done and the title wasn't shown yet, why the rush now after not doing that for all the other intros?
The Peter Capaldi era mastered the face in the titles thing. Every opening of Doctor Who needs to show the face in the titles like that. I need the TARDIS to avoid a giant floating head!
Upopular opinion i guess but the greatest there has ever been is Capaldi's. visually everything is meaningful and perfect mysterious and timey and spacey and exactly what the doctor is and sound wise it sounds like some mechanical clocks and technology and the high pitch being sort of more edgy works for capaldi's doctor perfectly. Also attack eyebrows. Perfection
I think the score for the Capaldi intro was perfect and then they kept changing it and not for the better. The gears and clocks didn't work for me, however everything past that the intro is really good. The attack eyebrows were perfection.
I love the very different, more adventurous intros to the first Matt Smith one and the latest one. They both really get the blood pumping and get you ready for the excitement of the episode.😁👏Also, you missed one out, as the one for “Voyage of the Damned” had a different, more raw or pulse-pounding electric guitar intro to the theme (as opposed to the more-orchestral version they then changed to for Series 4).
i feel bad for the cameraman who had go into the vortex every time they needed a new intro
it was the worst on the new one, poor guys
Nah, they just sent Captain Jack in, saves someone losing their life needlessly every time a new title sequence is required.
This comment is on the previous title sequence conpilation.

The first four themes from Hartnell to Baker will always be the best.

He did get one.

Same, most people seem to not like it which perplexes me.
It's so eerie, I love it ❤❤❤
it’s the best one 😌
Same!
I agree
The 2006-2009, 2010-2012 and the new one are my favourites. The music and the title sequences are so amazing and iconic. They stick with me the most.
2005 not 2006
It could be argued that there are 3 missing title sequences in this compilation...
1) The Third Doctor title sequence where the opening theme continues rather than repeats the same sequence until fade (Mind of Evil Episode 1, being an example)
2) The Delaware opening titles, as used during a broadcast in Australia and released in error on Episode 2 of Carnival of Monsters and Episode 5 of Frontier in Space of the UK VHS releases.
3) The 'alternate colour' opening title sequence for The Ark in Space (which was a purposeful piece of experimentation by the production team).
Completely agree. All are valid, especially on the Delaware front. My favourite bit of VHS serendipity. Shame it's not in the compilation.
Yup agree. They were always changing and experimenting with Pertwee's opening titles, it used to change from one story to the next. Remember watching the 'Carnival' vid when I was younger and always being taken by surprise by the Delaware theme. love it so much 😍
@@YesterdayMachine With me it was always Ep 5 of Frontier in Space that took me by surprise. By the time we got to the fifth episodes I'd forgotten about the Delaware theme then BANG!
and the ncuti variation with planes
And Matt Smith second one with smaller font and Arthur Darvill's name.
5th season at 8:23 will always be my favorite purely because the theme song kicks ass.
2:19 Man, hyperspace is always so freaky
That’s not Season 5.
@@DrWhoFanJseason 5 of NuWho
@@averagedelusionenjoyer New Who does not have seasons.
@@DrWhoFanJ it most certainly does.
Tom Baker's title sequence is unparalleled
shut up tom baker is overrated
@@TowerDemolisher23 Agree to disagree
@@TowerDemolisher23everyone can be wrong sometimes, you shouldn't take pride in that one my dear.
Want some jelly babies?
@@dashtoroya2838 Alright, I'm sorry Cheesus Crust
For me it gets a little repetitive over time, which while i respect your opinion ive gotta go with peter’s title sequence (yes, i know tom baker was first but that was only for season 19)
Classics always rule , electronic themes always the best
8:23 honestly my favourite
The title sequence has always been revolutionary. Fantastic.
The new 2023 intro is just astonishing! The new music score, the new camera effects, and the return of the old-style with the TARDIS being flipped through a vortex.
My favourites are TV Movie (1996), Tennant (14th Doctor - 2023), Ncuti Gatwa (2023), Sylvester McCoy (1987) and Baker (1986).
I'm old......I know all these sequences, saw them the first time on a television set, apart from the new ones, which I streamed. 😁❤️
8:23 first time hearing this in years, literal chills going through my body.
0:12 my favourite Opening
I’d never heard of doctor who before my mom brought home the reboot season, and this house has never been the same since
Delia Derbyshire did a great job
6:36 that just kickstarted an entire section of my brain
I'd love a cold open where the doctor is escaping something following him in the vortex, and the usual into is intercut with him frantically flying about the tardis pulling switches and levers with sparks and smoke, all while the intro is still playing, cutting back and forth between the intro and the doctor
My... god...
The scariest and most unhinged (hot take: best dressed and most underrated?!?!) doctor even gets a creepy uncanny smile animated into his intro
I now most people don’t like it. But honestly, my favorite intro is the series 7b one. I think it’s a nice mix of the modern more action oriented intros with the more psychedelic imagery of the older intros. Also the music is a bop.
You forgot the Matt smith one where the flames are blue
My personal favourite is the Whittaker one. It's abstract, mysterious, the bass drop grabs your attention and it gets you ready for the adventure ahead. Say what you will about said adventures but it's a great title sequence. The runners are are McCoy's titles, Tom Baker's first titles and the Matt Smith first titles
Yeah, my problem was that it didn’t really fit the era. I’ve always felt it fit Capaldi’s darker era better than the more light hearted Whittaker one
Be careful. That's a forbidden opinion in this fandom.
I totally agree. Freshest take since Bakers second version of the theme.
I find it too bleak and depressing personally
@@alexhodgkinson6718 ??? How can that evoke those emotions at all???
I love to listen to all the themes back to back. They are all great in their own right. But none of the other sends shivers down my spine like the ninth Doctors opening theme. Nine was my frist Doctor and will always be MY Doctor. ❤
the 80's themes go so hard. i have so much nostalgia associated with the 2005 theme tho.
I adore how Peter's showed gears and the galaxy to emphasize "time and space" while also bringing back the part of classic theme songs where the current doctor's face appears in the theme song (that was actually brought back in Matt Smith's second intro before Jodie removed it)
Nine, Ten and Eleven had the best intros. Those are the ones from my childhood and teenage years and I will love them forever!
I love how the newest one really brings back everything that made these title sequences cool.
I was waiting for this!
I absolutely love david, matt and peters themes and visuals
I brought up my daughter on Dr Who. And I'm a doctor too (only in engineering sadly. But I have designed satellites!) Anyway, I was driving her back from school about 13 years ago and we were listening to Radio 4. The Dr Who theme tune came on and my seven year old little girl laughed and said "It's Delia Derbyshire! And the BBC Radiophonic Workshop!" She's now 20, and off saving the planet, but seriously she was a cool kid.
10:34 - this title sequence first appeared in The Star Beast NOT The Giggle.
Also on a livestream for 'Best Bits' they said _The Family of Blood_ was from Series 7 getting confused with 2007.
Editor's had a mare 😭
It's not showing when the title sequence first appeared though. It's stating the episode they took it from.
@@YoungButRetroThat's the point, they did first appearance for every other title sequence on here.
I was thinking that too
0:12 where it all started.
Epic Doctor Who. Love it Forever!!!
I absolutely ADORE the visuals for Ncuti's opening. The addition of the piano is also sooo good. I love them all so much but they all just seem to be getting better.
To me, nothing beats Tom Baker's first opening! Just classic WHO!
2:40 hits hard
How many Cameramen have perished filming the TARDIS flying through the time vortex?
None. It's the same guy each time, he just regenerates
Plot twist: the CAMERAMAN is the Timeless Child.
None the cameraman is op
None, they just send in Captain Jack every time they need a new intro😂😂.
@@peteregressy6515 *Captain Jack clinging to the TARDIS* "DocTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!"
Honestly the 1963 one will always be my favorite.
it is beautiful, especially when you consider how it was made completely with practical effects
Capaldi openings >>>>
Like the intro looks good. But the part when Tardis goes into the clock, my dad thought it was annoying. And I kinda agree with him
@@vinniepinnie4689 yeah I always found that corny
@@leah-marie5031 Uhhh, what?
@@vinniepinnie4689when the Tardis goes into the clock, I find it corny
@leah-marie5031 I understand what you mean, but what do you mean with "corny"?
Eccleston and Capaldi are my favorites but I love them all
First one: looks like a roar shack test
Second one: same but with Moe Howard from the Three stooges
Third one it has color going through light speed
Fourth: going through ludicrous speed
Fifth: kicking and screaming into the 80's
Sixth: slowly looking like the Muppets with that smile
Seventh: direct to video 80's music video
Eight: movie quality but the logo is walking away
Nine through eleven: the TARDIS forgot something and had to make a u turn
Twelfth: looks like it's actually going through time and space
Thirteenth: someone has seen Doctor Strange
9:32 is my favorite, love the Capaldi one, with the cloks noise, gears and the spiral with the clock !❤
There needs to be some sort of fade between the intros. Without it they just feel like slaps that come out of nowhere
Wish they had kept the end bit of the latest intro for this video, instead of cutting out early. Music's not done and the title wasn't shown yet, why the rush now after not doing that for all the other intros?
The Peter Capaldi era mastered the face in the titles thing. Every opening of Doctor Who needs to show the face in the titles like that. I need the TARDIS to avoid a giant floating head!
Amazing, my favorite openings: Silvester Mc Coy, Peter Capaldi and the two of 2023, great video 😊
This show stands the test of time and it will for so many years to come
Who else smiles whenever you hear this theme, whichever version?
Delia Derbyshire is a legend
I really like the initial hard hits of Jodie’s theme. 😊
I love them all!
The eleventh dr into scared me as a kid due to it sounding like a horror movie
Idk why people are complaining about the newest ones. They look fine, much like the rest.
Upopular opinion i guess but the greatest there has ever been is Capaldi's. visually everything is meaningful and perfect mysterious and timey and spacey and exactly what the doctor is and sound wise it sounds like some mechanical clocks and technology and the high pitch being sort of more edgy works for capaldi's doctor perfectly. Also attack eyebrows. Perfection
I think the score for the Capaldi intro was perfect and then they kept changing it and not for the better.
The gears and clocks didn't work for me, however everything past that the intro is really good. The attack eyebrows were perfection.
I love the very different, more adventurous intros to the first Matt Smith one and the latest one. They both really get the blood pumping and get you ready for the excitement of the episode.😁👏Also, you missed one out, as the one for “Voyage of the Damned” had a different, more raw or pulse-pounding electric guitar intro to the theme (as opposed to the more-orchestral version they then changed to for Series 4).
I like the 60th sequence with the TARDIS surfing through the different time tunnels
