  • 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

  • im 12 yrs old and i dont evan?

  • the msn sound makes it better

  • Awesome!!! The theme still gives me the shivers!!! Can't wait 4 David's swan song...Gonna miss him heaps.

  • 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.

  • rofl u nubcake u have msn on during the movie!

    looloololol

  • i heard that too!! lol!!!!

  • lmfao

  • y does i say john barrowman ??

  • Im only 12 and i havent missed an episode of the new doctor who, and i watched the old ones online!

  • heya could you give me the website where you watched the older ones please?

  • true

  • 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.

  • yeah sorry haha

    i did this ages ago by recording the sound from iPlayer ages ago, and i couldnt be arsed to record it again.

    i have done a newer one since then though if you wanna check it out - its one of the video responses - cant remember which lol

  • lol dito

  • 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....

  • can you give some examples?

  • I agree it's very odd why people watch this show now, they dissed it in the past.

  • I agree with you there should be another doctor, i am bored with seeing this brown suit dafty!

  • if its 4 kids m8, how cum im 22 and my fiance is 25 and we both like it but my 12 year old brother and sister dont watch it?

    we like it because its good tv

    they dont like it because they think that the episodes are to hard to understand for people there age

  • Good quality graphics!

  • Please may I use this video for a group I have on Bebo.? The Group is called Doctor Who Fans 101.

  • 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.

    The best thing the bbc have done in 25 years

  • This is a really good update to a classic theme tune.I've never been a big fan of the doctor but David Tennent is very compelling.

  • what programme did u use to record this?

    CharmedAcdictP3 xx

  • 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.

  • BAD

  • this is shit

    the original is way better, this sounds like somebody has wanked all over the score and tried to clean it up with a shitty toothbrush

  • dr who rules!!

  • love the msn log in

  • haha yer

  • I LUV DR WHO!

  • This always gives me the chills! Awesome!

  • i can't wait for the finalie!!!!!!!!!!!

  • y does it say john barrowman if its the new one

  • How did you get one with no credits on?

  • HAHA at 0:27, someone comes on msn, listen out for it.

  • i agree

  • deffinatley my favourite one so far!

  • It says John Barrowman on it. Is Captain Jack in Series 2.

  • He returned in series 3

  • Hey I put series 2 when i said Captain Jack is in it. Should've said Series 4.

  • 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!

  • They should use Bill Baily's jazz version!

  • 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.

  • amen to that brother from another mother

  • 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.

  • not as good. not clear but then again.....

  • Heh. I like the strings in the background adding more counterpoint...

  • i wouldnt say it sucks, but its def. not as good as the old one!

  • why must they screw with everything that's good in the world! -cries-

  • 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.

  • Every series has a different theme

  • that s not true because the 9th and 10th docter had the same theme untill now

  • the instuments were that same but in seiries 3 they added the bing, bing bing bingeddy bing in the ending tittles and the graon at the verry end

  • No, Im right, The official series theme is at the end credits!

  • It's like rock mixed classic who, COOL!!

  • The underlying strings are cool.

  • They included a sound from msn near the end... lol

  • Naff! Should revert to the prior version..It was perfect! :]

  • I LOVE THIS TUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • they wouldnt change the wee waa woo thats the dr who tradition its been and always will be

  • amazing

  • 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.

  • Daa daa daa dummm....

    We're only a growling 8-bit saw wave, a few more electric guitars and a big boom at the end from the full 80s classic ;p

  • fantastic!!!! I love that, it kinda mix's some of the newer 1 with the classic theme! Brilliant!

  • ? huh?

  • at 00:30 u can hear it lol :)

  • It gives the sense of danger and adventure like TIJGERBOY said. Its brilliant!

  • When I hear the theme, I think of more danger and adventure

  • Too right ! Up beat, bigger than WHO ever was, and is now, BIG !!!

  • This does have a Davison vibe I feel.......

  • Russel T Davis is just Fantastic !!!!

    Joey 30 ~!

  • This SOUNDS GREAT !!!!!!!!

    OOOHH WOO STILL THERE !!

  • the new theme is great because its origional

  • can you send me this music please

  • i hate this version it sounds like a sped up tango dance GET RID OF IT!!!

  • W00!!!

  • 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 personally think its alright. Nothing special but alright.

  • "roughly compiled" is right

  • 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?)

  • Was that a MSN noise i suddenly hear?

  • i like the new series theme because its got william hartnells howl in it

  • i didnt like it to begin with but its growing on me especially the BOOM BOOM da DAAAH bit as the doctor who sign comes up

  • that is bloody awful, it's totally dumbed the show down!.

    not to mention the end credits!

    what is going on??
