were can i find the version that was only used once? in jon pertwee's?

[AidanLunn]

@shawnhbkdx90 There wasn't one that was used "once" in Jon Pertwee's

1) There was a version of these titles with the 1967-69 version of the tune (longer build up) used for a few stories in 1971.

2) The end titles for these were flipped upside down for a few episode of The Green Death in 1973.

3) All 1970 stories had experimental ways of showing the story names.

4) There were a couple of episodes with an electronic arrangement of the theme in 1973

@shawnhbkdx90 and 5) there was Tom Baker's titles turned orange (instead of blue) for only his second story in 1975

@AidanLunn there was watch this vid Doctor Who - Synthesizing Starfields  at 00:28 and 00:48

i just cant find it on youtube

[AidanLunn]

@shawnhbkdx90 yes, that's option 4 I detailed above - but Peter Howell got it wrong - it was twice - Carnival of Monsters episode 2 and Frontier in Space episode 5. But Peter Howell is a music producer and not a Doctor Who fan - I don't expect him to get things like that quite right.

[AidanLunn]

@shawnhbkdx90 and that theme is called the Delaware Doctor Who theme - search for it on here and you'll find the full version of it

Great job on the Moog synthesizer.

The stutter!

[orbitalchiller]

omg this is friggin awesome

[BannedFromThisSite]

Nice video.

But why do you use Spearhead from Space for the opening and The Green Death for the closing? Can't you just use the Spearhead closing as well?

[AidanLunn]

Because the closing theme for Spearhead wasn't the one usually used, plus those were the only two Pertwee DVDs available at the time.

best dr who titles sequences imo

[brunoofthesheikra]

i like how they did the title [the "zoom-in" look had a suitably dramatic spin to it]
