David Tennant Titles with Delia Derbyshire Theme

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3NWzGIClSrg&fmt=18

Yes, I know you'll be thinking "Oh no, not another waste of my time, I've seen hundreds of videos like this" but this is my interpretation of what the series would be like if they used the original theme music. It's better than all the others! (Well I think it is anyway! Mind you I'll be biased won't I!)
P.S. Sorry for the poor quality theme. It's a recording of a recording of a radio show which used a recording of a recording of the original theme. (phew! That was complicated!) I know its quite bad quality, but I thought it was the best one for the job because it had the 'sting' at the beginning.

That sounds like there's extra reverb on the bass and some parts are missing too. Did you revamp this by sticking together samples? If so, where did you get them? I have googled around for "Delia Derbyshire doctor who theme samples" but haven't found anything.

No this is the genuine theme. As I explained in the description, its a recording of a recording of a radio show which used a vinyl recording of the original tapes of the theme, so it will no doubt have lost some of its depth during one or more of those transitions.

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaam, dont sound 30 years old does it. jesus

[DarthJedi2005]

30? It's almost 50! (Well, 45 to be precise, but who's really counting?)

I think the original theme by Delia went better with the original title art. Reason being is that the new one is very dramatic using special effects, the old theme is more sinister and mysterious, not needing to rely on heavy eye candy. All the same thank you for making this as it was interesting to see what it would be like :)

MUCH better well done. It's amazing it really is.. Delia's arrangement still sound's of the future NOW! Much better than Gold's flamboyant & hauntless version.

I think Dr Who sounds much better with synthesized themes and music, weird sound effects, electrical waveform sound...

I find all the orchestra stuff so OTT and pretentious, I would LOVE this theme, it beats the orchestra one any day!

Doctor who was created on a low budget and synthesizers. Now it's probibly created on a high budget and no synthesizers. C'mon BBC, we want synthesized versions of the theme linke the old days >:|

With Steven Moffat taking over the reins of the show, I wonder if that'll mean another change of music in 2010? Maybe you should send him this and say "Look, don't re-record it again just stick with the classic original theme!".

No disrespect to Murray Gold's version of the theme but the original one is far more haunting (I doubt people will get the same feeling from the Gold version 40 years from now as I did hearing the original arrangement just now).

Well done.

Blimey. Somehow it works!
