Doctor Who: if Orbital had done the theme...?

What if...? What if Orbital had got the gig for the theme tune of the new series of Doctor Who? Would it have sounded/looked something like this? Actually no, I know it would have sounded more like the beginning of this track rather than the bit I've used but I like the breaks :)
[NB: sorry about the lack of fading at the beginning of the outro - I'm now using Premier Elements and it was playing silly buggers with that particular clip. Still, I don't think it sounds all that bad, just noticeable.]

Because people have asked so often, the music IS by Orbital - it's a track called "Doctor ?" on their album 'The Altogether'.

It would've sounded better if you had edited the theme to use the echo part at the end of the beginning title sequence, as Orbital did such a cool job with that in their rendition! ;-)

I wanted it to match the existing titles in structure wherever possible.

How would you know when to turn it back on?

Wow...Somebody doesn't have taste...The orbital remix is a work of art, a fantastic remix based on the 1963 version of the theme...Not the dribble we get now-adays

If they did this, I would thank them greatly.

orbital + doctor who theme = epicness

[ThunderStorm8]

Orbital did another cover of this song, a different version, live. You can probably still find it. It's actually pretty good, I think. Different from this version, though.

@08lufcjoe Agreed…I would just mute it.

[Azzaman9]

@jamespotter76 There's always the good old mute button.
