While experimenting with different ways to intercut the Derbyshire and Howell Doctor Who themes (ideally as a replacement for the closing theme from The Five Doctors), I decided to create a visual accompaniment for one of the resulting themes. This is the final product.

  • I've always liked Howell's theme, but it sounds so much better dropped down in Derbyshire's key.

  • I agree! Did you know that Peter Howell moved the theme up two semitones for his rendition due to technical limitations of the equipment he was using? The keyboard on the Yamaha CS-80, which he used to make the bassline, didn't have enough keys to play the bassline on the lowest octave, so he moved it up to where he could.

  • the music sounds slowed down

  • It's not. I just did the opposite of what they did on the show -- on the show, they pushed the Derbyshire theme up to the pitch of the Howell theme, whereas I took the Howell theme down to the pitch of the Derbyshire theme. It sounds slower because it's lower, but it's the same speed.

  • u should give a go at a new 5 doctors title sequence! same sort of fade from old to new! n possibly add each doctors face!

  • Hmm... thanks for the idea! I might just try that!

  • better than original

  • It was Arial Rounded MT Bold

  • Meglos version?

  • Yeah; but you don't have to call 'em gay.

    Gay means "Happy", or these days, "homosexual".

    I don't think they exhibit any traits of homosexuality.

    SO THERE.

  • I think it was actually some variant of Arial.

  • That was John Pertwee.

    And they aren't "gay", They're Howlaround.

  • Nice idea. Maybe in addition, you could lay the credits on top - first in the Times New Roman format for the tunnel, switching to the Neon font for the starfield.
