Doctor Who Theme 5 - Opening Theme (1970-1980)

[2000catalin]

Its not the real theme!

[DarthJedi2005remixes]

@2000catalin And can you tell me how you came to that conclusion?

[ransax]

@DarthJedi2005remixes Pay no mind. You would know better than that person.

I now get where RTD got the "Knock Four Times" idea from.

[spikespeed125]

@cobain245 From the fact that timelords have two hearts XD

[SlientChaos]

Everytime I hear this one, I feel like I'm in a trance.

[KNDNumbuh394]

omg it sounds like an old 8-bit video game! so cool!

i watch the new series you see :)

[littlemisstorchwood]

not the best version...

[SoldatSolutrea]

Blast it! A question I have to ask myself is why this music turns me on so much.

[WasLilChrisnowbigish]

prefer the 80s one

[Anathwin]

This is really close to the modern one they used for seasons 1-3 that's cool.

[bustybabesforyou]

This is ultimately the best version of the Doctor Who theme. R I P Delia Derbyshire.

[ladychazabc]

that should be the current doctor who theme tune :D

[SirBroadsword]

Wait a minute, I thought you said Theme 4 ran continously from '67 to '80, but then you turn around and say that this run ran from '70 to '80... What's going on there?

[DarthJedi2005]

This version of theme 4 was only used between 1970 and 1980, but the full theme was in use since 1967. Any clearer?

[SirBroadsword]

DarthJedi2005:

Oh, OK, that makes sense...

[RegenerationStorm]

yeah , the theme changed when patrick troughton became doctor , and they tweaked it for jon pertwees debue in 70

[sixstanger00]

What he means is, Derbyshire main minor changes to the theme from 70 - 80, including more pronounced "whooshes" and "whishes", a more pronounced baseline. The original also included the "middle 8" which was omitted for the Tom Baker years.

[BeakyRed]

dont you mean scooby doo? cause thats what it looks like lol

[BadNews88]

*Sigh* Memories....

The TARDIS zooming towards the screen and then the shadowy figure of Tom Baker melting into focus, then melting into the Baseball Diamond logo....

Ah, memories...

Thanx fer this, m8..

[RockandRoller2009]

I remember this theme music over all the others, that were used. TV show was awesome!! I barely remember watching re-runs of it in the mid late 80's...........but the theme music has stuck with me to this day!!!!!!!

[2123213213213]

i have like 11 episodes with this theme

[Rodan324]

My father has recorded like from the third to the fifth doctor

[alphamone]

so was this the first edit of the theme to have a specific version for the opening instead of just fading out?

[DarthJedi2005]

The first theme to have a specially created opening, yes.
