  • Hate this theme, the one in 1963 and 2005-2010 were much better.

  • LOVE this theme for doctor who!

  • I like this theme best. It's the most epic by far! (: It makes me want to...basically, run.

  • To choose dislike is to choose to be EXTERMINATED. EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE!

  • 14 people are missing David Tennant's Doctor

  • @speedracer456v

    7 billion are, only 14 take it out on this video.

  • Quite simply the most iconic science fiction theme tune ever composed. And this is my favourite version of that theme tune.

  • Ive never in my life seen a single Dr Who episode (Due to swedish tv dont knowing what a good show is when they see it) but i sure love the theme!

  • i met someone the other day that had stopped watching doctor who because david tennat left, and i just said to them "he's gone, he's not coming back, there is a slight chance in 2013 but i really doubt Moffat will do that. so get over it".

    i then went on to say tht matt is brilliant and i think he has become my new favourite doctor !

  • i still like Ten's theme better.... this is a bit too.... orchestral....

  • The Master regenerated 14 times, and disliked this video every time he did.

  • 14 people were sealed in the pandorica.

  • i love this theme

  • Woot Woot to matt smith!!! i wish he was my docter lol

  • this theme seems to grow on me more and more...

  • those 12 dislikes are the Daleks

  • i gotta say, i love David, hate matt. along with their themes.

  • @chezlover21 I like both your just not use to Matt yet give him a chance

  • @Lizardprinceone1 I am, iv been watching, i just dont like him.

  • @Lizardprinceone1 Seconded. I was leery at first, but I gave Matt a chance and now I think he is AWESOME.

    Also, he wears a fez. Sometimes.

  • @durendal314 I was kinda iffy with Matt at first, but once he started attacking one of the Daleks, I knew he was going to be a good Doctor. Not only that, he's always concerned about his legs and bowties, which is funny. I like that about this Doctor.

  • @Lizardprinceone1 And he's just so generally lovable. I don't think an episode's passed where I haven't wanted to ruffle his hair. (Yeah, I know, I'm weird.)

  • is it me, or for the new series, the lightning sound effect has changed on the names, it kinda spoils it now :/ see the Comic Relief opening, that is the new one.

  • 12 Daleks dislike this Video.

  • Comment removed

  • i like murray gold's music ALOT his work on the series is fantastic but every new version of the theme he makes he drowns out the bassine in favor of orchestral strings :( i wana hear dum de dums

  • Allah is the only God,

    Mohammed is the only Prophet,

    and David Tennant is the only Doctor.

  • @MagronesBR 3 fictional characters

  • @MagronesBR Change 'David Tennant' to 'William Hartnell' and we're all set.

  • i just wanna go adventuring in space, sailing with pirates or exploring jungles! brings out the little boy in me!!! >:D

  • I don't like matt smith i think he's to younge and his peronality is just off from the old one i like david alot better =]

  • Strangely this one is supposed to be closer to the original, but somehow feels different. The whole trademark dr who sound (from Delia Derbyshire) doesn't feel real.

  • @17thSHIT It's closer to the 1981 theme (Peter Howell version) a little faster IMHO. I do think it's brighter and a little happier, which is the feel of the current seasons of the show under Smith's tenure as the Doctor.

  • Love it :)

  • oh yes! very good.

  • i cant wait for the next theme

  • lol lol lol.....I am the DOCTOR...... :))))

  • They are

  • They should keep making Doctor Who episodes!!!

    There is NOT enough!!!!!!

  • @Intervention0wnage uh... they are still making them

  • If anybody would like an MP3 file download of the Series Five theme- or the music from any of my videos, including soundtracks- send me a personal message containing your email address and I'll send what you've requested as soon as I can.

  • makes my hairs stand up love it!! its now my ringtone!!!!!!!!

  • @leechez1 I had the orchestra part as my ringtone since series 5 aired. The best theme to this show yet.

  • I think I've said this somewhere before, but I like the original theme that was done for the "new" Doctor Who better than this one. Don't get me wrong, I like this one a fair bit, but to me, I find the orchestral backing dominates it a bit much, and for me, one of the hallmarks of the theme song on the whole is the electronic-sounding noises (particularly what I like to call the "UFO sound" that the theme revolves around.)

  • 11 people will be exterminated! exterminated! EXTERMINATED!!!

  • 11 People will be Exterminated! Exterminated!! EXTERMINATED!!!

  • @MeapStudios10 and 3 more

  • @MeapStudios10 make that 14, sadly...

  • i love this version they did a really good job !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Worst doctor who theme of all time, i dont see how Murray Gold can make the best doctor who ever (series 4 theme) and then 2 years later make the worst theme ever (series 5 theme)

  • @dwho1994

    To be fair, on the other hand, you can't compare *ANY* of Murray Gold's themes to the original.

  • @dwho1994 To also be fair.... This one is actually "MORE" like the original cuz it includes the middle 8 and the echo in it...

  • @xana43 all of golds themes have had the middle 8th in and this is as far away from the orginal theme as you can get

  • @dwho1994 Not the 2005 one... He left it out... Then added it into the 2008 one and kept it into this one...

  • @xana43 actully it was in the cd version of the 2005 theme

  • @dwho1994 Exactly.... The CD version.... Not the "regular version....

  • @xana43 it was still in that version, you were speaking like this is the only theme with the middle 8th in when all oh golds themes did

  • @dwho1994

    The series 4 theme was ridiculously overdone.

  • @KoujiTamino The series 5 theme is ridiculously underdone.

  • 1. The themes good but I think it needs a bit tweaking in some areas.

    2. The daleks are good and I like the new design and colour coding but they look like plastic now.

    3. The Cybermen really need to have some stories they have hardly been used since the return of the series.

    4. I think Matt Smith does a better job than Tennant

  • @TheUltimateMEH In my opinion, tennant is better. Yet this is youtube, and I'm sure nobody will listen to it. Oh well.

  • @WarLordM1 Of course he is better but he cant keep playing the doctor forever you know...they all cant be first..SHEESH

  • dokta hu iz an awefulle filme, shld b cansold!!1 i prefa sherlok or da apprentiz!!!

  • @LeeClaxton Doooo....yooouuu...speeaaak...­Eengliiish?

  • Not to be anal. In fact, no, sod it, in every attempt to be a geeky fan boy, I should point out your title is incorrect. This is series 31, not 5. The BBC are just being douche bags.

  • @edinburghskeptics Perhaps the title is incorrect for the show, but that fault lies with the BBC- all the official marketing and release of the season refers to it as 'Series Five'. This title is correct by official standards.

  • This is my one of the best songs

  • So different to the previous one, but both are amazing.

  • I L.O.V.E

    THIS THEMMMMMMMEEEEE

    WHOS WITH ME!?

  • @PerlaB4 I AM! ITS SO COOLLLLLL!

  • @PerlaB4 i`m with you. I`m a big Dr. Who fan! the doctor`s theme is a pioneer in electronic music. you can even find it in a collection about the first experiments on synths and experiments with musioc and computers at the wergo collection.

  • @PerlaB4 ME..... I AM.

  • 10 People must look intothe eye of the TARDIS and die

  • @MeapStudios10 no we are blessed with ears which sadly this poor attempt of the doctor who theme throws back in our faces

  • @essexbassplaya I understand that writing in complete full English all the time is not necessary, but it is still appropriate even on the internet to write more comprehensively than that! I can barely read it!

  • 10 Dalkes clicked the "dislike" well u want 2 know what, all Daleks Desvere 2 be (w8 4 it) EXTERMANATED!!!!

    2 all daleks, F.u

  • Where did you get amazing quality music imean I lol doc.who

  • i always get so exiting when i hear this, but still... i know its my opinion and please dont call me a fucking Matt Smith hater cuz i am not... This new theme just doesnt feel like the old doctor who ( series 1. 2, 3, 4 ) i grew up with. The old theme always had some mysterious background feeling when i heard it. It doesnt feel the same to me... but still i like it very much

  • @ivkoacount The series 4 theme Mysterious??

  • Comment removed

  • I think if they removed the disco beat then I could love it but its only like at the moment

  • Comment removed

  • 0:33 :D

  • Both the previous theme and this one are the best so far. I give this one the edge because it feels a bit darker, edgier and, dare I say, sounds more "fun". The second movement is a nice touch...reminds me somehow of the days when I watched Sir Peter Cushing, William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee all play the good Doctor.

  • I love this theme. This is as cool as the last version.

  • ...BTW, the BEST version of the Dr Who theme so far!!!

  • This reminds me A LOT of the theme to "Airwolf".

  • Bow Ties are cool =D

  • @StitchV2 So are fezes!

  • @bigfatcarp93 is Tommy Cooper a time traveler?

  • @StitchV2 He vanishes. Just like that! *leaves his right leg behind*

  • and ppl heres a good smily =Þ, 2 do the tounge, press and hold down alt and press 0222 while still holding alt, then realse alt, and u got ut smily =) =Þ

  • nice choice of the 3d, im so use 2 ppl sayying plasma screen, i almost was about 2 type for u 2 get a 3d, meh...... plus, they inventing a small 3d projection thing so you can wacth it on ur wall, but if they never thought of that and i just thought of it for the 1st time, i claim all rights 2 it if they never thought of it yet

  • Just kidding

  • Lol at my schools quiz night whenever someone won a prize this theme played cos it was a sci-fi theme

  • OOOOOWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO USA ROCKSA

  • umm by the way peeps i didnt meen usa asin the contry

    i ment it as in you sa

  • The fifth series was good, but I really want Amy and Rory out of it. Please make them take their sexual activities somewhere else, because all this kissing and slutty assistants just ruins the episodes.

  • @Gameking53 Very good point but they should keep them in. It's always good having two companions, especially boy and girl, it take sus back to the good old days of Pattrick Troughton. And all the kissing, that's what wrecked Season's 1+2.

  • @Gameking53 i agree, it's really detrimental to the storyline

  • @Gameking53 I can understand toning down the kissing and the like, but at least this time a. it's the companions and b. they're married.

    I was personally getting tired of the Doctor kissing the companions and more specifically Rose and the Doctor supposedly being an item. I like it better when the Doctor is more of a friend/fatherly figure than a lover. It keeps us remembering he is a many many years older. That's probably also why I liked the Donna/Doctor team - only kissed in life or death.

  • I really like the new theme, and yes, it's more in line with the original. It was time for a change, I think, after the 9th and 10th Doctors

  • why change the intro, the david tennant one was epic

  • @Gingrnut DT one was lame, really rubbish, just a bunch of red waves flying around. For 21st Century it was really bad comparing to the 80's where they really made an amazing openning that blew you off your seat. This is much better, and five years with the same openning, it gets boring after a while.

  • this new series is so much better. i had no interest in 2009's episodes (sorry, but i didn't) but when i saw the first episode of season 5, with the new doctor, new companion, new tardis and new theme tune, i'm lovin it again. I love the current opening

  • Needs a little more bass

  • To me this makes a police box look bad-ass, cause its in a flipping vortex getting hit by lightning with the most epic tune ever devised.

  • i love this, but i prefered the tardisy going through the vortex bit of the old one better, fav bit if 0:34 onwards, the major key. I LOVE DOCTOR WHO!!! how sad, haha x

  • @tattyteddyloverx Juust a shame that the middle 8 was only used in 1 credits sequence (Victory of the Daleks)

  • @georgercop Actually it was used for The Beast Below ;)

  • @SupremeDalek1000 Ah yes! It was the trailer for Victory of the Daleks, and I must have gotten a bit lost because of that xP

  • @georgercop It's probably one of those they've had to figure out the timing of when to use it in the end credits. First season of the restart they didn't even have the middle eight because I believe whomever composed it didn't want to do it or didn't know how to compose it.

    Now, if they'll do an album version of this tune like they did the 2005 theme I'll be happy. This one would be fun to juggle to.

  • How did you get this? Could you send it to me please?

  • I just wish I could hear an explanation from Murray Gold as to what exactly he was trying to do with this version of the classic theme. Certainly, I like it, but at times, I'm left confused by some of the decisions he's made (such as the downplaying of the opening bass line in favor of this new melody). Still, it's a great addition to the list of versions of the Doctor Who theme.

  • wen i first heard this i waz like WTF is this shit ,and wen i saw the tardis console i waz gutted but now iv gt used 2 this theme and i like ! it as 4 the console i still recon they could lose a few things and mabey change the time roter but like i said iv gt used 2 it :)

  • @essexbassplaya I know this is the internet, and don't expect anybody to write in completely perfect English, but when you type like that it hurts my eyes. Please, just try typing a little more comprehensively.

  • @ItsAFootball LOL @ your comment is what I think EVERY DAY when I'm on the internet. You rock <3

  • @ItsAFootball you will get used 2 it

  • so awesome :'D

  • I love this theme and worm hole (Vortex) but it saddens me to see so many downer comments :'(

  • i like matt better than david now! i didn't think that would be possible!

  • would be a really good theme if it wasnt following the one before it!! The title video looks too much like a CBBC production imo! Matt Smith has surprised me in being a really good doctor, but just not as good as Tennant, which is no bad thing, because Tennant was beyond excellent!!

  • @ChrisCreamUK get over it and your saying this titles sequence looks like a CBBC intro look at the old one and think really hard looks like a fucking Cbeebies one compared to this BBC 1 FTW

  • @Ben78177 YAWN!

  • This version of the theme sounds silly and cheap; like someone misremembering what the old show was like without actually watching it.

  • i think matt smith is one of the best doctors doctor who has ever seen.

  • @Krock270 ironic comment seeing as what people thought before the first ep ;)

  • lol! i agree!

  • people should give matt smith a chance... i go to my mates "so you watching the new doctor who? it's awseome" they go "no....the new doctor is crap" ....im like "give him a bloody chance!" because he's actually pretty good as the doctor

  • @OrksAndOrcs Well that's because people with small minds are afraid of change. :)

  • @OrksAndOrcs He is more of a classic Doctor than the previous two dont get me wrong there was nothing wrong with them..but Smith is like the Doctor I remember from my childhood.

  • @ReAnimatedVision Yeah, he has a lot of Troughton's Doctor in his Doctor's persona. Lets be glad he didn't inherit his recorder playing skills, too =P

  • I really enjoy this theme now more than I did when I first heard it, it has grown on me. Every Saturday when it booms on the screen it gets me prepared for a good show.

  • I dunno. Change is the way of things. It's different, it's new, and it still sends chills down my spine when I hear it. I love it. Well done IMO.

  • What's the point of having it part of the theme tune if no one's gonna hear it?!

  • Ok I am getting seriously fed up of the bbc leaving the brillant middle 8 out of the closing credits of the new series. The only episode that actually featured it was 'The Beast Below'. I dont get it, when Murray Gold left it out in the beginning of the first series many fans complained so it was replaced. Why isn't that happening now?!

  • This theme....it's painful. He did an Ok first theme, then by Voyage of the Damned he'd made it, in my opinion, perfect for what it needed to be. And with this terrible drum beat, lowered bassline, it just...it just doesn't get you in the mood for Doctor who. Also, the extra melody he added at the beginning isn't as good as the one he had in earlier seasons. I think it's still there under the main theme. Still ...that drum beat. The whole point is the DUN DUN DUN of this theme, and its gone!

  • @Tylea002GB What you on about, its there :S

  • What I don't understand is that Murray Gold specifically said he would NEVER want to 'touch' the theme, and that he would keep the sonic 'boom' at the end. Both have been lost to an extent. What the hell?

  • this one is so much beter than the 9 and 10 doctors

  • Daleks - tase the rainbow

  • A good series, but I didn't like the Daleks as much as I used to. I don't know why, but it looks as if a big American corporation grabbed the designs and "improved" them. They're overly colourful, commercial looking, over emphasized and obese. They look like something that comes with a happy meal.

  • @GiratinaofFury: The piece of shit Doctor Who movies (not the TV movie) had technicolour Daleks. Bad example, but they were british. Terry Nation's original Dalek comics had Daleks of varying colours and subsequent spin-offs and continuations of that sort of thing. The colours are due to a wider variety of ranks, that's all. That and tying into the British elections.

  • I liked the last season's theme better it was a tad bit more EPIC. :)

  • @Rmg12 couldn't have said it better myself!

  • I'd prefer this more if they cut down EVEN MORE on the orchestra stuff! The synths are really good in this one compared to the previous series' as this will add more originality to it instead of the current orchestra bandwagon

  • I've really liked the changes Steven Moffat has made to everything so far in the series, especially the daleks' awesome design. Wonder if the cybermen will have a new design. Hope the cracks storyline is a good one. Really enjoyed it so far.

  • @jimbo11235813 I hope the cybermen return to a more classic approach, with the guns and all! I'd like to see them in their true original form -- their parallelism with communism was lost come the 70's and 80's when they became robots. They were originally supposed to counter the Dalek's facism. That's why they want to make everyone the same. They were truely horrifying in the 60's. It's a shame their stories were so drawn out, lost, and they looked cheap!

  • @WhoBoy93 they are rumored to appear in the final episodes THE LAST EPISODE IS CALLED The Big Bang

  • @dalekjoe8 Who are rumored to appear? The daleks?

  • its a very modern theme tune. im liking it.

  • This is more like the traditional Doctor Who theme. I like it very much, even more than the last one.

  • @JWM230294 I think this series has gone more classic - more thrilling story lines, and more references to old series. I prefer matt smith to tennant actually

  • @JWM230294 my favourite bit about the intro is that the time vortex is like cloud, and that lightning bolts hit the Tardis as it flies. It's pretty cool.

    The Pandorica Opens tonight!!

  • @JWM230294 I agree. Reminds me alot of Howell's 80s mix

  • @JWM230294 YEAH YOUR RITE IT IS LIKE THE ORIGINAL,But i think series 4 is the best,its got a bit of a fast paced tone to it,plus its my favourite season,because of the funniest companion DONNA NOBLE AKA Catherine Tate

  • Well, the thing about this theme, at the begining it sounds more.. menacing i guess you would say, .. i dunno hard to explain.. it also sounds darker.

    The old one sounded very adventurous and even a bit.. i dunno.. celtic?

    Not saying this one is bad, but i do prefer the last one more.

  • why not a pink one

  • As long as it has the "ooh-wah-ooh" bit I'm happy!

  • @Centuria13

    im thinking that " OOH-WAH-OOH" tune is about as implemented in doctor who as the tardis " wooosh wooosh wooosh " :P dunno if i got that right ^^

  • Oh, I do love this new themetune, just as equally as I loved the previous series. That last series had a small metallic edge to this, where this one has a more rounded edge so it doesn't pierce your eyelobes.

  • I hate everything about the new series exept the new doctor and amy pond. Everything else (new tardis, new logo, new screwdriver, new theme tune etc...) I hate

  • @HeavyDutyGamers So you have bad taste... The logo is 1000X better than the older, the tune is nearly the same, the TARDIS is just better and looks wider and the Screwdriver looks like a real one this time, the other one was a kind of pen with a fucking light... I like it very much but i prefer the new one !

  • The full theme is really rather good. But the cut down version at the start just doesn't cut it for me. It takes far too long to get to the proper tune.

    But its a minor quibble when it comes down to it. The episodes are what matters and they have been fantastic so far. Matt and Karen are both wonderful. I couldn't really ask for much more as a whovian right now.

  • I only saw 4 episodes of this series like everybody, but DAMN ! I LOVE IT !!! Matt Smith is really good and Karen Gillan is THE perfect companion for the Doctor !
