  • ? The most unforgettable tune of the centry?

  • Why can I NEVER remember the Dr. Who theme?

  • The Aussie band MANTA have recorded this theme with didgeridoo, cello and guitar and it sounds awesome. Check it out at their site, mantatrio d o t com

  • brits give us this and the rolling stones

    We americans give them rebacca black and lots of debt

  • @divenutslincoln rebacca blacks shit

  • @divenutslincoln We also got Big Macs from you. Brits love Big Macs as do bitches. Bitches love Big Macs.

  • @somethingmemorable1 that makes us fat ;) which isnt good

  • @divenutslincoln

    You gave us YouTube so we could upload Doctor Who videos :)

  • Is it just me, or does this version of the opening kinda remind you of x files?

  • I think the eleven people who disliked this were shunned by the Doctor. :)

  • anyone else notice the lights around the words doctor who look like a vagina??

  • the best intro is from de 2005-2009 .

  • Best Doctor= Tom Baker

  • @AceRadster I'll see your Tom Baker and raise you a Jon Pertwee.

  • R.I.P Doctor Who

  • This is a good theme tune, definitely, but I do prefer the new version. Maybe because I'm more used to it, I don't know. This is quite excellent, though, and it's too bad the woman who composed it, Delia Derbyshire never got any recognition.

  • I watch Doctor Who in the 90's on PBS. My wife just started watching 2 weeks ago and is hooked. Gotta love the Docta.

  • A-W-E-S-O-M-E

  • i just said "knock knock" to my mom, "whos there?" "doctor" doctor who?" then i played this

  • @saveusX29Y2J LOL FUNNY

  • I think charliIsSoCoolLike should play the Doctor in a few years

  • @BeautifullyTragicxx oh nice to meet another Charlie Fan :D

  • @BeautifullyTragicxx no, he should play a companion.

  • my favorite doctors are matt smith david tennant and tom baker

  • @25bloodfang i prefer david tennant to matt smith, but that's my personal opinion...

  • In the mid 80es I think, there was a docktor, who had a colorful scarf. What was the name of this dr? and which years was he active? I remember because he was the first dr. to apeare on danish television, at least that what i belive.

  • @MrJumper68 That was Tom Baker. IMHO the best Dr. of them all.

  • @CroniusDraks Thanks, I agree, but then again, I have only seen Him, and the one from 2009.

  • Omg that brings tears to my eyes! I live all the original doctors! They all brought something unique to the show! Would live to see a special like the "5 doctors"!

  • David Tennant was the best Doctor!!

  • sounds pretty old 

  • @FPSage Thats cos it is lol

  • Strange to have this logo for this theme. But this is quite a theme for the time it was made.

  • My fave doctors gotta be Tom Baker and Peter Davison

  • @Angryification Tom Baker, David Tennant, and Matt Smith Oh yeah

  • lol sydney white

    terrance: do you think he has the Dr. Who theme song?

  • Hmm, makes me want a jelly baby

  • I dunno. My favorite is still Tom Baker. Gotta love his scarf

  • Of all The Doctors My favorites are Matt Smith and David Tennant but all the actors for the doctors are awesome in there own way

  • DO YOU HEAR IT !!!

    THE DRUMS!!

    4BEATS THE BEAT OF A TIME LORDS HEART

  • dum dum de dum

  • 2005-2007 series had the best theme for me. They tried a bit too hard to modernise it with the newest one IMO. Still, it's an immortal theme in every form!

  • No. Tom Bakers second intro kicks this one right in the butt.

  • DW ROCKS!

    

  • david tennat rocks doctor who is the best thing ever created i love the show the idea and just everything about it :D :D :D :D

  • @IanMalcolmTv: I just love the irony of you going on about how great David Tennant was while you're listening to a Doctor Who theme that was made almost a decade before he was even born.

    What about William Hartnell? This is HIS theme, after all.

  • @IanMalcolmTv

    .........you mean you don't love Doctor Who and you just love everything about David Tennant?

  • Makes my ears dizzy...

  • this song makes me feel all wibbly wobbly timely wimey ...stuff. :D

  • @treepeacefashion That sentence got away from you, didn't it?

  • They need to bring this back for series 6. (Maybe a bit modernised) Anybody else agree?

  • the 2005 to 2007 series were the best IMHO. I didnt see the old ones so maybe they were better, who knows.

  • die Sendung is toll 

  • 10 thumbs down, What's wrong with people?

  • doctor who is da best and matt swmith and david tennant are de best doctors

  • yay doctor who!

  • my favorite show:

    1 greys anatomy

    2.The Simpsons

    3. Doctor who

    4. how i meet your mother

    5. the x-files

  • @SANDYhugl: That's a, um, very 'eclectic' variety of favorite shows there.

  • @SANDYhugl who cares

  • The best Doctor Who David Tenant.

  • @blacklight324337 forever...

  • @metaflix Yeah!  8)

  • I hate it when people remix amazing songs when there's nothing wrong with the original in the first place! Most of the time I find originals are the best :)

  • @LilRedDevil02 There doesn't have to be something wrong with a song for somebody to rework it. It's just a way to pay homage or make something new.

  • Doctor Who is my favorite show!!!

  • wiked

    

  • best version by far! Still gives the creeps today. Imagine listening to that as a kid in 1963! Never mind hiding behind the sofa, you'd shit yourself!

  • @oxfordeugenicsprof lol, as a kid I remember hiding behind the sofa when this came on. I still have this song on 45rpm ;-)

  • BEST SHOW EVER MADE!!:)

  • wikipedia "Doctor Who Theme" to read how they made this. Really cool.

  • They still played this on ABC around 2005...

  • i kno...this is way better

  • awesome

  • The doctor who show is just awesome!

    the theme song is aweseomley made!!

  • She taped, it was made by Delia Derbyshire with synths and tape

  • just wondering where do you get the theme tunes from

  • Soooooo awesome. Fit the mood of the show and the quirkiness of the title character perfectly. I remember watching this as a kid here in the USA and never wanting to miss the opening sequence, for its great "2001" visuals and eerie electronic music. Sweet!

  • love it!!!

  • So unique

  • this IS music to my ears (:

  • I remember dancing to this tune with my dad whenever the show came on when I was a toddler in the 80's. I think it has a lot to do with the music I love today!

  • Hear you...my sentiments exactly. Incredible the effect a TV show theme song has on your likeness of certain music. I love anything with a synthesizer to this day. A majority of what I listen too...

  • I don't know much about much but I read that this wasn't a synth or even a theremin like I thought. Apparnetly he taped tone generators and cobbled it together pretty much note by note. Inspired.

  • @Doughman888 its the sound of raw voltage being delivered through Glass Valve Oscillators, Filters and Amplifiers. Heaps revolutionary for it's time and it still sounds fair awesome.

  • @Nezzib Yeah, and it scared the shit outta the people that heard it when it first aired!

  • @Doughman888

    Ron wrote a theme tune then they took it to the BBC radiophonic workshop and produced it. The metronome in the background was added and Ron was stunned by what he had made :P he was in disbelief that he made it sound to good ...

  • Haunting!!!

  • Haunting!

  • Got to be one of the best TV theme tunes on this planet. This particular theme is far superior to any other. Brings back good memories and my time as a kid watching it was with John Pertwee and Tom Baker, who was quite a freaky and scary Dr Who.

  • I just started watching Doctor Who in the past few months, bow I love it so much!!! It's so cool! The really great part is that me and my Girlfriend got together through DW!!!! LOL!

  • I've been watching Doctor Who since I was 2. This show made me who I am today. Simply put, this and Star Trek are the best shows ever made.

  • not seen doctor who but i agree with u on the star trek bit

  • I prefer this to the new song

  • @PePethegamesmaker so do i and it was absolute cutting edge in '63!!

  • @PePethegamesmaker Luckily the very newest theme, with Matt Smith acting as the Doctor, is very like the original! You should listen to it it's pretty good.

  • @PePethegamesmaker Seems very "slow paced" and not nearly loud enough for the new Doctors.

  • @PePethegamesmaker same!!!

  • Tom Baker; Immortal

    David Tennant; Immortal

    Wonder if Matt will be able to compare O.o

  • he will

  • i really look forward to matt smith.

    just not his cries of 'Geronimo!'

  • now my life is complete

  • Doctor Who is the BEST show ever!!!!

    the new one with david tennant ( i heard it changed) is just amazingly made!

  • @VideosByRaymonD Believe it or not I've never watched doctor who until david tennant and I love it. Then they brought in the new guy and if you ask me david is simply a better actor.

  • @VideosByRaymonD Yes, its changed and Matt Smith is playing hte doctor. Matt is great but David was so much better! Still, Matt has a lovable character! ^_^

  • @VideosByRaymonD BEST SHOW EVER IN THE WORLD

  • Bad Wolf Bad Wolf Bad Wolf!

  • i like the new theme. its pretty much the same as this one but slightly modified and a bit more futuristic

  • how about the torchwood theme nd can u add me as a friend plz

  • that was so so so good like the dr

  • I think it's those very low harmonics that gave this version it's otherworld creepiness. Gods, I remember being chilled by the adventures that followed... Daleks... Salamander the Tyrant... the Celestial Toymaster... and those first Cybermen with the lilting, sing-song voices...

  • The first 18 seconds are the best!

  • David tennant is my hero and thats not a joke. if you are out there please contact me i want to be just like you and act as the doctor when i'm older.

  • i hjust got into the series, it's pretty funny and awesome !! i love how the robots are designed !! it's on here in the US at 11 pm on pbs. may need to buy it from itunes.

    David always wanted to be in Doctor Who as a little kid. he got his dream come true !!

  • If you have cable, it is on Sci-Fi and BBC. You can also watch it on YouTube a day after it airs in England!!!

  • i know dave tennant is a kick ass doctor and it is true he has alway wanted to be the doctor which is great cuz he actually knows the show...thats way he did a fantastic job i just wish he was still the doctor

  • I think the thing is is that he has so much acting experience, he can look emotions with his eyes, he doesn't play the Doctor, he IS the Doctor...The new one's too young to have real experience.

  • good on you but the sad thing is David is leaving doctor who in 2010. David Tennant is the best doctor ever!!

  • Very very very. That's all I have to say to that.

  • No he wasn't...

  • I know, David Tennant has turned me into a Doctor Who fan and will miss him greatly, bring on the 2009 xmas special and the doctor's regeneration...

  • @ilovealicenjasper:  *Eye Roll*

  • that tune is so freaky

  • this the old one!!! most of the times i have to watch old episodes to see this!!! nice! luv it!!

  • neede that one

  • This and the pat troughton theme was the best creations of the tune.

  • I have one complaint... no, scratch that. Can't complain bout this.

  • Doctor Who a great show but they don't show it now in TV :(

  • you've been living in a deep, dark hole--doctor who is back on the air, since 2005.

  • Though on mid season hiatus until 2010 though there are occasional specials.

  • what channel??

  • bbc 1

  • idk

    wat that is

    tell me the nmbr of the channel

    is it cable??

  • bbc 1 is a UK channel (BBC make dr. who)

    didnt see your location, so i didnt realise you didnt get it.

    Sorry :(

  • aww man

    do they show it in the US????

  • It was being shown on Sci Fi, not sure if it is anymore, I heard a mention of it moving to BBC America.

    It was on PBS back in the Classic Who era, when I first got hooked.

  • this 1 sounds gr8 sounds surround sound lol

  • itz ausem?!

  • I thought the flute sound was a vibraphone, if I'm wrong wow. O.o

  • Composed by Ron Grainer (who also did "The Prisoner" theme), and realised electronically by Delia Derbyshire in the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, possibly the first popular tune to be so creepy, the sound of an uncertain future.

    RIP Delia, and Ron

  • This was way ahead of it's time, in the 60's

  • The BBC are so brilliant at doing things like this. All of the sounds and effects are wonderful.

  • Visuals...??

  • David Tennon Is Fitt as Mate Cant argue wiv dah :P 'Ox

  • Wow I love this version of the theme tune, its so creepy and futuristic, the BBC radiophonic workshop in media vale London used anything and everything to create all the wonderful sounds and effects as well as the title theme. I spent many early Saturday evenings waiting in eager anticipation of the adventures of the Doctor and was rarely disappointed. everyone has favorite doctors and mine are Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee, Christopher Eccleston and David tennant. oh and Bring back the Sea Devils :-)

  • This is the old school version. The one we grew up with in the 70s.

  • I loved the old Doctor's and I love the new. Why argue? it's all good stuff

    In a world which feeds us Big Brother and I'm a Celebrity and other such sh*t. We should be glad they brought it back. At least someone still cares about putting on good shows and making us think and use our imagination. I hope it goes on forever. xxx

  • I like both versions, I grew up on Tom Baker's Doctor and David Tennant kind of reminds me of him (he's just as mad and charismatic) The new theme tune is just a pumped up version of the old and why not, if you have the technology? it doesn't bother me at all. Doctor who was always ahead of it's time and truly innovative and original and some of the new episodes are very inventive and interesting, The weeping angels comes to mind.

  • reminds me of my cildhood and good memories.

  • hey knuckles8886 times change the new generation prefers something different, they want to watch a show that doesnt look like shit compared to something cgi and filtered. Times change so dont be a dick about it.

  • If the new generation prefers "something different," then why are they constantly copying stuff from the 60s up until even the 90s? Most of the "music," movies and even TV shows are remakes of everything from those decades. Alot of the good stuff came from the 1960s, whether people like that or not (and I wasn't born until the mid-70s, so I'm not that old). Don't like what knuckles8886 had to say? Create something original!

  • umm can someone tell me when do they show this show now ?????????

  • Last Week!

  • christmas, i think

  • Dr Who rocks. I like David Tenant as the Dr. he was the best.

  • i wanna learn how to play this on guitar it sounds so cool (the guitar bit) doctor who just totally rocks on its own

  • the original Doctor Who series was so much better than the one we're stuck with now. What's even worse, is that none of the kids that watch it reaslise there was a doctor who 40 odd years ago. They've taken the Doctor Who series and turned into farce as far as i'm concerned.

  • i agree

  • I agree that nowadays they butcher classics in order to keep the television and music industry moving, but you must realise that there are some kids out there who know about the original Doctor Who. You, sir, made an understatement. There are kids out there who know about the original Doctor Who, but I must agree that few acknowledge him because they were not born in the years the original Doctor aired; give them some slack.

  • hey thats not true im an american 17 year old and ive known all about the old series of doctor who and all the guys who have played the doctor and ive seen the episodes too

  • i dont think this is the original , but still good!!

  • gaii!

  • personally i hate the theme tune and my brother favourited it without my permission while i was at school and i can't remove this crap.

  • when i say that this theme music (composed in 1963) was the first ever electronic music in the world, you might want to reconsider how crap the music is.

    even though Im only 18 I can tell you that the old series is far better than the "Hollyoaks in space" crap that is the new series so I'll forgive you for calling it crap.

  • put it this way.. I watch CSI. Doctor Who is not my thing.. my brother went on to my windows account without my permission. so in my personal oppinion, people running round wearing rubber alien masks is crap.

  • a) you have t use your imagination when watching the "rubber alien masks" (whatever they may be)

    secondly, as Doctor Who is time travel, it doesn;t always feature monsters.

    and i know many people who watch it just for that theme tune.

    and I suggest that you watch "doctor who old vs new" to see that the old series was better. Much more death, violence and gothic horror !!!!! :D

  • soz but in comparison to other things.. doctor who is not gothic horror... i should know i've read "The strange case of Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde" for my GCSE English. and i'm into gothic movies such as "The Crow" and "Underworld Evolutions".. Doctor who is immature crap.

  • On the contrary. there were several which were cut for repeats because of the violence. The Brain of Morbius was, in essence, a Frankenstein tale, Planet of Evil was, in essence a Jekyll and Hyde story. As that video i suggested you look at says, this new series has become a show for ten year-old children.

    And it was put on an 18-month hiatus in the 80s because the level of violence had got too high, Vengeance on Varos in particular.

  • Vengeance on Varos (1985) features people being burned to death by laser beam, killing people by making them imagine that they are dying of thirst in a desert, people being drowned in acid baths...

    But the twist is that all this is being broadcast to the population of a planet on television. The viewers vote, out of the entire population, who they want to kill and how they should be killed.

    Doctor Who predicted the phenomenon of reality TV 23 years (from 2008) before reality TV became a hit!!!

  • people dieing in the story line does not nessesarily make it gothic horror. it's purely sci-fi in what ever way you look at it.

  • I take it then that you didn't read my other comment. just above the one i posted last.

  • i have now.. but even so you still can't beat the classics..

  • Can anyone explain to me what Doctor Who is? I'm just curious

  • Doctor Who is a british sci fi show about a alien who calls himself The Doctor and he has a machine called a TARDIS that can take him anywhere in space and time and he has adventures and battles monsters and villians.

  • Alright thanks man.
