  • Should be mentioned that Delia Derbyshire had more to do with the sound of the theme as she arranged it. She is one of the pioneers of modern day electronic music.

  • The Floyd were big Dr. Who fans, and if you listen to One of These Days you can hear a bit of a homage to the title theme!

  • The more they modernise it the worse it becomes. A simple synth and it gives it that sound that sounds so great.

  • Thats the brilliance of this show, it has barely changed, everyone knows it is Doctor Who, it hasnt been modernerised (new word?) so much its unrecognisable!

  • The is surf music with the twilightzone mixed in. Very much a product of the 1960-63, time and yet still way ahead of its time. And the early '80s synth bands owe something to this too, maybe the psychedelic 90s rave genre too!!

  • @AppleOfGlasgow

    Or, of course, he saw re-runs. Ah well, don't let facts get in the way of your trolling :)

  • @Psistarstormer What a total fucking retard...it was around since the 90's? Dr Who didn't have a single season during the 90's...

  • God, this show is old! I knew it was around since the 90's, but the 60's?! This has to be the longest running show in history...

    I imagine that it was a lot creepier back then than it is now...

  • @mfx1 Agreed as well. Derbyshire was brilliant. Modern electronic musicians can really get by just knowing music, but in her era, you needed to know music and electronics quite well. And have a very, very steady hand with your razor blades.

  • They Will Not Force Us! They Will Stop Degrading Us!

  • Agreed with nrXic, Ron Grainer wanted co-composer credit for Delia but BBC red tape prevented it. I wish people would respect Ron's wishes and credit her as well in references to it !

  • Dr who just isnt scary like it used to be
