wow they had the best...stuff ;)...when they were editing this awesome intro for this series. "Legend-...wait for it...I hope you're not lactose intolerant because he comes the second word 'dary.'"
normally, colour television came out in the 60's and i've seen some 60's programes broadcasted in colour, but strangely, DW didn't came into colour until 1970.
The last black and white episodes were filmed in the spring of 1969 and BBC One didn't go colour until the autumn of 1969 when the first Pertwee episodes were filmed. Also the Pertwee episodes benefitted from being recorded at the Television Centre, which was a far more advanced studio facility than Lime Grove.
...And then you realize, that this Doctor, like the one before him and the one before that, was essentially a teenager in the body of an old man. Now it's the other way round.
I've always wondered if Roger Waters ripped off the bass guitar riff and incorporated it into (Pink Floyd) 'One Of These Days'. Actually, I've been thinking that for many decades.
Too bad John Nathan-Turner destroyed the 4th doctor. Hell, JNT ruined everything he touched. I realize he was dealing with a BBC doing everything possible to get rid of the show. But JNT did more harm to the poor Doctor than the Master, Daleks, and Cybermen put together. Go back and watch Tom Baker's final season. It makes Trial of a Time Lord shine in comparison.
@TakunaNuva Yeah but i highly doubt many older fans [ and perhaps some of the younger ones of todays new generation of viewers ] are ever going to rank Matt as high up as the likes of Jon, Tom and David, i would rank Matt just above Patrick, i just cant stand his Doctor, all that " Oh my giddy Aunt ! " and the fact he just acts like a right coward hiding behind things or people [ like hiding behind the 3rd Doctor when Rassilon appears in the Five Doctors ].
@doctorwhoone Dude, I am an old fan, I grew up on Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and Peter Davison. :P Tbh, while I liked David Tennat at first, the immense amount of melodrama just ramped up the emo in the show and put me right off his Doctor; by the time he left, I already couldn't wait for him to leave (to be fair, Russel T Davies is a terrible writer, so it's not David's fault that the character was falling flat). Matt Smith, on the other hand, is like a breath of fresh air, to me. :P
Jon Pertwee, still my favorite Doctor, second favorite would be Tom Baker. I wish that I could have seen more episodes of the Patrick Troughton series, unfortunately so many were wiped that I can't follow the chronological order and character development of the show from that era. Unfortunately the series from the 1980s were a let down, there was potential in the three doctors from that era but bad scripts and bad decision making among the producers ruined the show.
@Feisty1967 Yes, CGI starts to wear a bit thin. It dazzles and amazes at first, but that soon wears off. The old titles (and music) still send a tingle up the spine!
@LonesomePine369 i know right? the 10th doctor was too 'human' he didn't feel alien enough IMO. yes, he could understand humans and how they live but some1 who never knew the show wouldn't know he was alienat first sight, plus he was too clingy. not to say that he was a bad doctor but he wasn't the best...
In the late 1970s when I was a little kid, after Sesame Street ended this would start an and I'll be honest here -- that opening theme scared the living shit right of me. O_O Scary!!
As a kid I used to find some of the classic who stories quite scary. The music had that menacing sound to it. The original series was darker than the new one.
Jon was the ultimate dr who but I guess it depends on when you watched the show. I was brought up with Troughton /Pertwee. Having said that the new shows are pretty good but still don't have the darker feel of the classic series..even if the sfx were cheap..the original title music sounds darker and more menacing
Well it doesn't entirely depend on who you grew up watching. I was born in 1991, so I grew up without a Doctor really. Anyways my point being is that my favourite Doctor era has to be with Jon Pertwee at the moment; I love his character and the stories and definitely the monsters e.g. Sea Devils, Autons, Silurians... etc. I don't particularly enjoy the new series as much as the classics. It isn't as haunting or as bizarre, and they tend to fill it full of drama and silly comedy.
@Red23791 yes I will agree about the new one. I just finished watching victory of the daleks and even though I enjoyed it I thought it was somewhat silly. The classis who was darker and even the theme gave me chills...unfortunately the sfx where horrible. I think the daleks have been featured too much as well and would like ice warriors and the nestene to come back again
@Drophyd167b Well, I must congratulate you. You've got very good arguementative skills, whilst still remaining civil, something very rare in people of your age. I congratulate you. And I agree, the New series has it's good points, Blink is still one of my favourite episodes. But I just didn't like RTD's lackluster Finales.
That was the bassline with a backward stutter start;Delia took a piece of the bassline and echoised it,then reversed that little bit of tape and spliced it onto the opening theme hence the du-du-du-du-du-du at the start.
It might indeed come back. Steven Moffat is a big fan of old Who. I read that the Doctor's face will be back in the Series 5 titles, so perhaps even more of the old-style titles will return.
That's my favourite title sequence in Doctor Who. I wished they'd used something like this when the series came back in 2005, but we got another boring tunnel.

Im looking at all these old timers who claim this theme to be good. WTH murreys is much better. Much more base no annoying high sqeaks. Also the new show, I can actually watch it without laughing at the terrible special effects, stroies and prosthetics. It really was terrible.
No I think the older version of the theme was better. Was more haunting/atmospheric. I agree with the point about the terrible special effects though.
@not3bad13 Aaaaah, but don't forget, they were good at the time. Your children may laugh at the special effects at the Doctor Who episodes you grew up watching.
@XtremeGoose Do you also laugh at the better scripts, better stories and less campy stupid, non-scientific season finale's that Russell T f**kwit dragged out?
You're an idiot. And I'm sure all the classic fans here will agree with me.
Im sure they do, and im sure all the current fans agree with me when i say your being nostalgic and anti-progressive. Your one of these people who can never accept change and move on.
I enjoy good story and compelling characters and i dont mind any campiness whatsoever. Im not an idiot, I have my opinion and you have yours, but those who insult intelligence usually lack in it themselves.
@XtremeGoose I accept change when it's for the good. But Russell T Davies ruined Doctor who for me. He made it full of silly catchphrases, a sheer CHOKING amount of emotional scenes every 5 secodns, and completely removing the science fiction element all together. He even openly admitted he writes Doctor who as fantasy! Which is why I think Stephen Moffat is going to do a MUCH better job of handling Who than Davies did.
I liked John Pertwee's Doctor..my second favorite. I like his style. He was stuck on Earth until he did a favor for the Time Lords in the Three Doctors serial.
Well, I mean, that wasn't the longest Who ever... "The Daleks Master Plan" (which no longer exists) was 12 episodes, 13 if you count 'Mission To The Unknown'. And of course, the king was "The Trial Of A Time Lord" at 14 episodes - an entire season.
14 episodes! Jesus. Thats a mini series. And it was just 1 30 min episode a week? Did they have other Doctor Who stories that yar or was that it? I hear Torchwood will be doing something like that in its third series in 2009. Its going 2 b 1 dtory in 5 1 hour episodes broadcast everyday over a week on BBC One. 2006 BBC Three. 2008 BBC 2. 2009 BBC One. Wheres series 4 going 2 air?
That's true, but the 1978 season was made of six serials, each a separate story loosely connected by the search for the Key to Time. Trial of a Timelord, despite the different production codes dividing it into four, was still one massive episode and credited as such, with every episode that season being 'Trial of a Timelord' Part One up to Part Fourteen.

I have to say that this is my favourite version of the derbyshire theme, as it sounds like it is meant for an opening, as opposed to the older ones which just went into the middle 8 and just faded out.
this is the first series i saw on tele when i first heard the doctor who theme tune as a kid and i was always fascinated by it... the rhythm and the high pitched harmonic sound! it's incredible! Delia Derbyshire did a good job! a genius who kinda revolutionised todays modern music!
Who came up with idea for the opening stutter and the end loop. Its amazing espacially if you turn up the volume, put the video on full screen and stare into the vortex while the loop is on.
The stutter start was the plucked string bassline echoed and reversed and spliced onto the opening titles music;they only did it for a number of episodes then reverted to the usual theme music start.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't understand why these clean opening titles are the "stutter start" version. The clean titles on the Carnival of Monsters DVD (I presume timelord726 gets the various clean titles from the DVDs) are the version without the "stutter start".

I liked John Pertwee's Doctor..my second favorite. I like his style. He was stuck on Earth until he did a favor for the Time Lords in the Three Doctors serial.

The third Doctor was the one stuck on Earth right, the one who worked with UNIT most of the time.

yh he was banished to earth and was forced to regenarte (second to third)

How do they force time lords to regenerate, don't they need to be hurt to do it
227060 3 years ago
he broke some rule i think
stevean2 3 years ago
But, did they hurt him so he was dying and had to regenerate, or can time lords regenerate whenever they want?
227060 3 years ago
i think he was hurt as his body was sent though a time vortex to his tardis on earth so yes

That episode ("The War Games") is still around. All ten parts of it exist.

Wow, 10 parts, you wouldn't get TV like that anymore, which is good and bad at the same time
227060 3 years ago
Well, I mean, that wasn't the longest Who ever... "The Daleks Master Plan" (which no longer exists) was 12 episodes, 13 if you count 'Mission To The Unknown'. And of course, the king was "The Trial Of A Time Lord" at 14 episodes - an entire season.
StephanieLives 3 years ago
14 episodes! Jesus. Thats a mini series. And it was just 1 30 min episode a week? Did they have other Doctor Who stories that yar or was that it? I hear Torchwood will be doing something like that in its third series in 2009. Its going 2 b 1 dtory in 5 1 hour episodes broadcast everyday over a week on BBC One. 2006 BBC Three. 2008 BBC 2. 2009 BBC One. Wheres series 4 going 2 air?
227060 3 years ago
No, that was it. "Trial" was 14 30-min episodes, which at that time took up a whole season.

Back then they had 25 mins but now we have 45 min episodes.

Don't forget the entire 1978 season was devoted to The Key to Time with the Fourth Doctor, Romana I and K-9. I think it was 24 episodes.

That's true, but the 1978 season was made of six serials, each a separate story loosely connected by the search for the Key to Time. Trial of a Timelord, despite the different production codes dividing it into four, was still one massive episode and credited as such, with every episode that season being 'Trial of a Timelord' Part One up to Part Fourteen.

he was meddling with time so the time lords banished him to earth, a place where he would feel comfortable for the duration of his stay.

I have to say that this is my favourite version of the derbyshire theme, as it sounds like it is meant for an opening, as opposed to the older ones which just went into the middle 8 and just faded out.
alphamone 3 years ago
this is the first series i saw on tele when i first heard the doctor who theme tune as a kid and i was always fascinated by it... the rhythm and the high pitched harmonic sound! it's incredible! Delia Derbyshire did a good job! a genius who kinda revolutionised todays modern music!

Best theme tune of any TV show ever. So haunting.

Who came up with idea for the opening stutter and the end loop. Its amazing espacially if you turn up the volume, put the video on full screen and stare into the vortex while the loop is on.

I love the stutter start, its sounds as if its building up to the theme :-)
GeordieDan89 3 years ago
The stutter start was the plucked string bassline echoed and reversed and spliced onto the opening titles music;they only did it for a number of episodes then reverted to the usual theme music start.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I don't understand why these clean opening titles are the "stutter start" version. The clean titles on the Carnival of Monsters DVD (I presume timelord726 gets the various clean titles from the DVDs) are the version without the "stutter start".
Sabreman64 3 years ago
that's because the theme without the stutter start was dubbed onto the titles with the delaware theme used for the titles on Carnival of Monsters
