Doctor Who Theme 25 - Closing Theme (2005-2007)

[TristanPalmerFilms]

Is it just me or does 0:00 - 0:34 just make you think of that moment in the Next Time trailer when RTDs redesigned Cybermen were first revealed! :')

[stinaaah]

I love the middle-8 segment... just that sudden upswing into the major key, makes me shiver every time

[jongredic]

Also my favourite version. I love that they put the middle eight back in with that booming timpani and the way it leads back into the main theme. It gave it a real sense of epicness and urgency that the next version lacked a little bit.

Is it just me that thinks of an exciting new adventure for the doctor from 0:00 to 0:35?

[RobRound]

[JediLuckySeven]

I sometimes feel like the David Tennant years were overhyped, but one thing they did right.....THEY BROUGHT BACK THE MIDDLE 8 SEGMENT! The BEST part of the theme music. Ever.

[jakec28]

1:20 I like that they brought that bit back from some of the old themes that first had it.

Next time...

[flaziola]

My favourite version of the closing credits. You could just slot this in any era of Doctor Who and it would just fit, any other version of the theme seem to be a product of their time. This is timeless.

[NextGenerationOfDBZW]

(00:02 - 00:06) Feels like something bad has happened.

[deathrange08]

@NextGenerationOfDBZW Something bad always happens on it :P

[escfan2008]

Get your facts right!

This theme was used from 2006 not 2005!

[DarthJedi2005]

Christmas Invasion?

[Cyke101]

^ Yep yep. I remember rewinding the Series 2 preview tacked onto the end of the Christmas Invasion repeatedly just to hear this improved version.

If they used the previous Next Time theme on that trailer, the music would've been too repetitive, I think.

[jampox101]

@escfan2008 it was used in 2005 as well remember the christmas invasion

[davros1992]

@escfan2008 and 2007 ! idout!!!!! it changed in 2007 for xmas dumbo!

AND HOW ABOUT YOU GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! DUMBO!!

[davros1992]

@escfan2008 o and it did in the christmas 2005 DUMBO!

[caldoctorwhofan02]

@escfan2008 uh does it really matter about the title i just go on youtube to watch videos not look at titles

[BadNews88]

Hmmm... there's a talk show about the origin of the term "Middle 8" somewhere here....

I'll get back to ya with *my* tuppence, m8's...LOL..

[DarthJedi2005]

Correct me if I'm wrong anybody, but my understanding of it is that "middle 8" is a musical term meaning pretty much exactly as it is. It's a middle bit, and it's 8 bars long.

[Rodan324]

accually middle-8 means that its 8 seconds long, and I checked I put my finger in the middle and it took 8 seconds for the circle to get past my finger. Or maybe they mean two things. I'm not sure

[DarogaDaae]

I think that it being eight seconds long is just a side-effect of the tempo. I actually counted, and it's exactly eight bars long. It was eight bars long in the original 1963 theme, and I think the tempo was actually slower, making it more than eight seconds.

[zufgh]

you hit the nail on the head bud !

[Angryification]

@DarthJedi2005 Yep thats right

[jampox101]

@DarthJedi2005 no i got told by my music teacher that it is a tune that is different to the main bit

[JSeltzer45]

@DarthJedi2005 I don't know for sure if this has been answered or not, but according to Wikipedia, the Middle 8 is "the section of a song which has a significantly different melody from the rest of the song, usually after the second chorus in a song. Such sections often consist of new chords, but also frequently just alternate between two chords. It is called a middle 8 because it happens in the middle of the song and the length is generally 8 bars."
