Doctor Who Jon Pertwee unused/test title sequence

[HarvestmanMan]

@Gavylad11 Actually, a slightly modified version of this has been used: the DW logo is much shorter in duration and the howlaround at the end was sped up greatly.

[GTAIVFan17]

R.I.P John Pertwee. You will be missed.

[Gavylad11]

In Australia, up until the mid 80's, this visual was used blended with the Delaware version of the theme music for episode 2 of Carnival of Monsters. Episode 2 also dragged on with the reprise of what happened up until the end of episode 1. The version sent to Australia originally was an early edit version. After the mid 80's the ABC seems to have been given an updated version of the episode for repeat tranmissions..

[26QProductions]

it was a genuine test sequence

[ss4706]

I definitely prefer the one they used, but still, thanks for uploading! cheers

[protestifications]

I find the halloway effect very hypnotic, and also was this music theme used for a decade? wow

[SupremeDalek12]

Actually this is a genuine test sequence. I think it didn't survive the final edit because of the photo of Pertwee's whole body.

[BannedFromThisSite]

Yes, it was used before they decided on the final 1970 theme.

[tardiselliot]

where abouts is this on the spearheads from space dvd

iv not seen it on there before

[glenrea]

if it's not in special features it's an easter egg!

[tardiselliot]

cheers ill hav a look

might see if i could use it in one of me title remixs

[RogamaFilmProducers]

@tardiselliot on the main menu, go up to play all then click left and click the logo or press 6 on the DVD player remote

[00killu69]

they should have used it

[SicksTeaPhoar]

Is it me, or does the Howlaround Swirl Time Vortex Mess up at 00:46?

[glenrea]

There are other comments about this somewhere. It's test footage and unused bits, so there are things we didn't see in the broadcast version

[NyeTunes]

I wish someone would post the OTHER unused Pertwee title sequence... the black and white one where they put all these bizarre effects on his face.

It was on "The Pertwee Years" video, but I don't know if it's appeared elsewhere...

[glenrea]

I did have it somewhere but if I remember rightly it was a very poor copy. If I can find and capture it I'll upload it

[glenrea]

the user "Pertweedelgado" has this uploaded now!

[zeplinofled]

is it just me, or does jon pertwees head flop to the side a bit?

[moller111]

I'm not sure... could be...or...could be not

[6364gg]

it actually does! its not just you

[SicksTeaPhoar]

Same Here, it does flop to the side a bit.

[zeplinofled]

im glad they didnt use it, its rubbished compared to the real thing

[glenrea]

The mixing/cutting is rubbish, but the unused bits are taken from another test sequence, hence they look out of place here.

[dwho1994]

were is it on the disc (it is uk)

[glenrea]

it's an easter egg but I can't remember where, which is typical as a mate's borrowing the DVD at the moment!

[dwho1994]

it is ok now i found it its the logo on the main menu

[moller111]

that was cool

[VilaRestil]

It looks genuine. If it's not, it's very well done.

[saskabush2006]

Re:VilaRestll

It's genuine and I believe it's on the DVD for Spearhead from Space.

[callumleo]

it kinda distracted me when the swirly bit messed up at 0:46

[doctorwhobrothers]

Interesting. Thanks for posting :-)

[dogtorwho]

good but what the point of the continuing sqirls at the end?

[glenrea]

It's a test sequence and probably shows the *unseen* parts where the action and sequence fade in and out. Plus it's a rough cut test sequence so there will be bits not seen on the televised version

[DarthJedi2005]

I'm pretty sure that this is a genuine test, but don't quote me on that!

[afhjkdgf]

It's hidden as an Easter Egg afaik

[WinsterMoves]

V interesting

[glenrea]

Don't know if it's a genuine unused sequence or one made for the "Spearhead from Space" UK DVD. The "Pertwee Years" Video has another batch of tests/unused sequences

[WinsterMoves]

I think it was definitely constructed at the time (1969). I've always wanted to see this so thanks for posting it! I have the DVD but my player won't play it!

[TheLazenby2]

Can you post the Pertwee Years one? I lost that one on my old PC...

[glenrea]

I don't have that one I'm afraid. I've only seen it at my mate's house
