So the old style BBC2 would have used an American announcer and cheesy music would they?
Ah, yes, the BBC of the 1980s evidently saw Teletext-quality graphics as suitable for creating the Doctor Who titles.
The BBC Graphics Department must have been on crack that day if they saw random clips suitable for creating the title sequence to one of the BBC's crowning glories!
A lot of the CG footage was from demo reels that CG company's where making at the time which means this was basically a placeholder intro that was incomplete by the looks of it.
@pillowby Well it appears to be a young Richard Griffiths (Harry Potter's foster father from the movies). This is seemingly backed up by the TARDIS Index File page of the Fifth Doctor.
Judging by the conspicuous pixie art (possibly a place holder) and the bad chroma key (yes bad even for the BBC) I'm going to suspect this this was a mockup intro for a screen test.
I was expecting someone in a Max Headroom mask to flash his butt cheeks, but I was pleasantly wrong. Not being a fan, I'd actually watch the show if it was just showing stuff like this.
Docfuture- professional bullshit artist.

Hate to say this but this is a hoax, some of the material is from the 2 disc tron dvd and obviously there was no story called shadow of the cybermen.

looks like this was back when special effects were relatively new. they probably made the whole intro out of sample effects

The censored shit we get on BBC America is nothing like they play on the continent. Well done DocFuture, for bringing home the Unedited Word.
