The Aussie band MANTA have recorded this theme with didgeridoo, cello and guitar and it sounds awesome. Check it out at their site, mantatrio d o t com
wish they'd get rid of all this orchestral crap and be a bit more faithful to the old deeper and mysterious dum-de-dum. It seems to have been faded out into a school band version.
lol i watched this a few times and i was so confussed when it kept hearing the msn sign in noise and no one was there, but its on the background of this.
Why guild the lillies! The original (acid house!) theme tune and amazing b/w tv feedback graphics were all that were needed to conjure up the dark magic of dr.who. Simplicity is always the best, this tune is too frilly and just trying to follow the original, The thing about the original is that it was truly futuristic!
the problem is people are brainwashed with subliminal advertisements and hidden messages, they can't tell the difference anymore, Doctor Who has it all over every ich of the show.
it's a sad state of affairs, ages ago no one would watch this show now they do, I find that very odd....
before the dr who come back i didnt know what to expect. a lot of poeple had high expectation, considering the film was bloody awful ,but i was obsulute effin shocked, at what the had accomplished.
it was from a dvd rip of an old ep - thats y its slowed down - cos the theme is longer - check out my new video - its the video response - thats the proper version of this theme.
a) yeah the captain is in series four and b) i used old video sequence n messed around with it n slowed it down cos when i made the vid i only had the audio, but i got another vid of it now - just check out my profile!
I've seen a lot of good shows get new theme songs, and usually you can get used to those. The reason the Doctor Who theme was the way it was is because there's no rock or alternative that could capture the scifi - ness of the show. From the start the doctor who theme was created on a computer, and I (personally, though it is just an opinon) believe that they should keep it as technical sounding as possible. Regular instruments don't do justice.
I get what your saying and i mostly agree. However, I think 'regular' instruments sound really amazing and it reminds people that it isnt all about the future and stuff, but that you can see bits from the past, as it were. I think it sounds quite good as it is.

I'm sorry, I just cannot stand this. I hate it when theme songs are changed. The Doctor Who theme song was PERFECT the way it was. I see no reason why they should have changed it. It suited the show incredibly well. BRING IT BACK!
so ur saying that it should be exactly as it was in 1963? or 2005? cos if u mean 2005 then obvo it has been changed and obvo for the better. so if u HATE it when they change the theme then watch the hartnell episodes then u wont get upset.
How can people say they hate the new theme, I love it! Doesn't it sound so symphonic and exciting? Being a Doctor Who fan since a small child, the music always gets me excited. =D
To those who don't like it: I recommend you learn to live with it, it could be here to stay.
symphonic? i could have sworn I heard guitars in there. And last time I looked, the symphony orchestra did not incorporate electric guitars. But good theme.
i no the video is rubbish but it was a quick 10 minute thing i did, n i did it on windows movie maker, wich is rubbish aswell - im gonna make a bteere one, without msn noises n john barrowman!
I was surprised when I heard it but all in all I thought after 3 series it was time for a change and I rather liked this new version. Though personally I feel a remake for 2008 should be done out of the Peter Davison era music intro.
I don't know why they've changed it. It already sounded like it had A.D.D. Now it's actively trying to deafen the audience.
Ear-scratching, overly busy and horrific. You could weld things with this themetune.
(And if they're this keen to smother the original "woo-oo" noise in effects and Stomp drums, why not drop it entirely? What happened to Murray Gold saying the DW theme was the greatest piece of music ever so he didn't want to fiddle with it too much?)
