Doctor Who - Clean Colin Baker Opening (1984)

[freedomfighterguy1]

LOL. I was only three years old when this came out.

[MrSuperpigeon]

I think Peter Davison does not like this thing I would think so?

[1000guy1]

the 5th doctor disliked this

[RegenerationStorm]

1- Attack of the Cybermen

2- Vengance on Varos

3- Mark of the Rani

4- The Two Doctors

[PaulSeaton79]

The start of this opening theme is unbelievable. Nothing a full orchestra in Cardiff does can ever compare to this. Its like some sort of galactical scream.

[TheCatapultTV]

[TOMMY95215]

Best opening > Worst doctor.

[Mr234Wtf]

I CAN'T STOP PRESING 0

[Lily55xx]

He was alright, but there was definately something unsettling about him. Maybe it was the mismatch between his clothes and his personality, but I really don't know.

[TheOnComingStorm121]

Colin definatly had the best face intro of all the starfield titles

4th: Just faded in

5th: Very odd venusian blind transition...

6th: Explodes on in a wave of various colours before smiling...

Win

[JHollowayNetwork]

for Series 23 in 1986, Howell's theme was discarded in favour of Glynn's theme arrangement.

[lothartheterrible]

I always thought Colin Baker got a bad rap. He got an unfair reputation as "the Doctor nobody liked", but in a way he was ahead of his time; Christopher Eccleston (and to a lesser degree) Matt Smith have given the character a darker edge, something they should have let Colin Baker do.

[TheEndlessWarlock]

@lothartheterrible

Don't forget Sylvester McCoy. His Doctor fell into being a dark character as well.

[lothartheterrible]

@TheEndlessWarlock Indeed. Shame the BBC killed the show before he had a chance to realize his full potential in the role.

[CYBERDOODY]

0:14 one of the rare 6th doctor smiles but if I was in Colin`s situation I would`nt be smiling much either

[CYBERDOODY]

My favourite theme. I like the lower pitch

[willmott2k10]

easily my favourite opening of all-time for Doctor Who =D

[YoshiBoy1318]

Colin Baker, Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Tom Baker...

I guess playing Doctor Who runs in the Baker family

Good news for one of my friends!

[TheEndlessWarlock]

@YoshiBoy1318

Yeah, about that. Tom and Colin aren't related.

[TheDoQtor08]

Actually this has the sound effect for Peter Davison's Doctor Who logo explosion as opposed to Colin Baker's. Sounds like they just slowed down Davison's instead of releasing Colin's. How awful!

[MrPsychic8472]

When I was little and I saw the intro of Colin Baker for the first time, I thought 'Hmm, Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory would fit in perfectly here..'

[BADWOLF200501]

this theme does't fit the titles the 1986 one does

[thedragonb0y]

Carl Sagan MUST have been a Timelord. I mean come on!

[dim432]

couldve use that for the next Family guy star wars film Something something Compleate

[mueltrickson]

my top 5 colin baker eps:

1) The Mark of the Rani

2) Attack of the Cybermen

3) The Two Doctors

4) Revelation of the Daleks

5) Vengeance on Varos

[jordidoctorwho223]

@mueltrickson what about trial of a timelord

[animationdude56]

@mueltrickson where's trial of a timelord on the scale?

[katakisLives]

The Colin baker series had brilliant versions of the theme, with the early 80s came a lot of amazing synth technology and they used it to great effect here!

[doctorwhofan51]

canyou send me this and the closing one plz

[notgivingatoss73]

And he's a gentleman too. I've met him twice and i can't think of any bad thing to say. Colin, you're a scholar, a gentleman and you were an awesome Doctor

[notgivingatoss73]

Colin was a great doctor.

[Furbydude05]

that's the opening from twin dilemma right?

[SpiffySpider]

comparing the beginnings of Peter Davison's and Colin Baker's intros, Colin's intro is much more bass-influenced.

[TheeeDoctor]

ahh my favourite doctor!

[lukaspukas1]

He is a really cool guy. I was extremely fortunate enough to meet with him at the New York Comic Con. He was one hell of a nice guy, and I wanted his autograph...but I was short of cash and I put on somewhat of a brave face. I did say "Well it's an honor meeting you Mr. Baker." and he said in a very pleasant english accent "Well thank you, and it was nice meeting you too sir."

I made a concerted effort not to be a fanboy and to show him respect;

[TheeeDoctor]

Thats exactly how I would approach him as well. Honestly, he just seems so much more about his fans than any other doctor, including the new ones, which makes me admire him even more, but thats only an assumption on my part. I havent had the privilege of meeting him yet.

[someone332]

The actual heads for this one look descent. Because it doesn't make the body just seem... moviemaker'd. jk

[thesjaanddrwhofan]

great video

[tardistuner]

can someone please post the complete version of these titles with the oomph effect on the logo when it appears! as i've always liked the sound effect!!

[fivebearrugs]

I didn't care for the overload of bright blue :)

[BannedFromThisSite]

It still is. It must be something to do with his recorder or DVD ripper lolz

[hotpeach9]

This opening to Colin Baker(6th Doctor)was okay.I like the additional effects that were added.

[Chev427BB]

Where's the "whoomp" sound when the logo comes up, am I thinking of a different intro?

[raynar01]

No you aren't thinking a different intro. This is a clean opening, just missing one thing, the "Whoomp" as you said when the logo appears. I have it on my video list.

[Chev427BB]

Is that intro from a later episode or was the "whoomp" in all the pre-Trial of a Timelord episodes?

[khjui]

AWSOME! Although, its not "Clean!" if the head wasn't there, I would give it 7/5! But....

[dalmain77]

I like the sixth doctor. He could come off as abrasive sometimes, but he was great. I wish he would have stayed around longer. I got used to the outfit.

[IronWaffles]

I've grown to like the sixth Doctor for being such a douche to everyone. Watch both parts of "Mark of the Rani" and you'll see what I mean.

[2123213213213]

mark of the rani is it called

[IronWaffles]

wat?

[DoctorWhoLeelaFan]

Why does the starfield carry on for a time after the theme tune has ended?

[Hoddersrevenge]

Probably allows time for fading into the actual episode

[AJDian]

You've kinda listed this as a closing sequence it its description; I dunno if that means you've listed the actuall closing sequence as a title sequence; I can't remember...

[js2001b1]

Sorry should have said just before the words flash up,It's also a shame that the BBC Music CD's stopped at vol.4 Meglos/Full Circle, because we would hopefully be upto or near Colin Baker's time and the incidental music for his stories, the best for me I think would be Revelation of the Daleks, Roger Limb's great incidental music.

[js2001b1]

The actual theme music for this 1984 version had one alteration and that was an added sound effect or 'sting' added when the words Doctor Who flashed up,it's a sheme you couldn't find the actual music for this one.

[mustainestheone]

This is so much better than the intro they have now. It's so 80's, I love it!

[galaticwars]

This gotta to be the best intro of all doctor who intros. It's my favourite intro then is patrick troughtons intro. What do guys think. Do you agree with me.

[BannedFromThisSite]

yes, but peter davisons is better than all.

[Tardisode1]

where do you actully get these?

[AidanLunn]

apart from the Sylvester McCoy titles, these are the best ones - especially like those "rainbow flashing lights" on here.

[myselfalex]

i wish i could have a background of the rainbow lights from his head...i tried taking a screenshot from here but it looks like crap lol.

[PBantonox]

WHA-THOOMP?

...Sorry, just had to reply to that.

And um, yeah, I think there was, but I could be wrong, it's been a while since I'v seen a C. Baker episode.

Hmm. I think I'll go watch one right now :)

[timelord726]

lol. Sorry for any confusion. I addressed SpaceBob's question in my reply to his comment above.

[SpaceBob]

Yep, no other way to describe a loud booming noise than with an imagination on overload.

[AidanLunn]

May i suggest The Two Doctors?

[SpaceBob]

Wasn't there a "WHA-THOOMP" when the actual title pops up?

[timelord726]

As with all my clean title sequences, I have redubbed the commercially released opening and closing themes onto the videos in place of the televised themes to ensure the highest possible quality. Sometimes the officially released versions lack sound effects that were present on the show.

[AidanLunn]

no, that's on the end of the end credits!

[TheBambiniGiant]

@SpaceBob WHA-THOOMP was the trial of the timelord titles, I think?
