@mrkingofkings Yes but it was more red and bright. The holly bit was different to

This is so epic, too bad they changed it. I guess it makes sence though, its too dark for the actual show, so i guess they canged it to fit the bubly light heartedness of the show, even if it does have extremly dark undertones(as it kinda shows in this series opening)

[STYLES1992]

EPIC !!!!

@wondrinminstrel and i mean 'pick him up' he was lying in the road in our sleepy little village hehe

I was in my mid teens when the first ever episode was aired. I love the original theme tune. Like others have said it is dark and percussive but with overtones of joy. Also, I remember this set the mood coz just after the first show I had to go and pick my pissed dad up from up the road....lol...it was misty and quiet and ominious...meh

I like the original scale model shots used in each chapter way more then the CG they replaced it with in the rereleases/Netflix version... I don't mind the opening redux though. It's like Star Wars. All of that hard work the original FX crew put in is not even seen by the current generation...

[RWright2006]

Netflix doesn't have the right openings.

Dont get me wrong, the intro they use later and the theme are iconic, but the horn? the thunderous drum and the twinkly piano? these perfectly accompany the atmosphere of the show of how lonely and small you are in space. Zooming out from Lister in the spacesuit until he's just a speck is, i feel, no coincidence

Ahh, there's the organ. I was worried I had heard it in a remix or something when the other version on youtube didn't have it.

[jasezer]

For some reason this always made me think of the Wallace and Gromit shorts. British comedy was way more bleaker back in the 80s.

I keep wishing that someone would do some kind of epic pipe organ/orchestral remix of this theme. IT WAS AWESOME. I was annoyed when they changed it.
