Doctor Who Theme 18 - Closing Theme (1987-1989)

High Quality: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WNnOcjxFnVY&fmt=18

So, here we are. The very last edit of the very last version of the Doctor Who theme ever to be broadcast in the original run. The very final Doctor Who theme of the 80s. This theme, for many fans, signalled the end of Doctor Who, and as the final credits ran, so did many fans tears.
Of course, I just made half of that up - I wasn't even born in 1989! For all I know, there could have been a giant party with the words "See you in 16 years!" on a giant banner in a marqee in the middle of nowhere. (I made that bit up as well!)
But, anyway, enjoy!

I'm sure that "as the final credits ran, so did many fans tears"....is *quite* true.

I, for one, observed one minutes silence after the ending of "Survival"..

Definitely *not* expecting that, 16 years later................

So THANX fer all these, m8!

@MrComedy01 Since when is JNT an enemy of Who fans? I quite enjoy his work.

@DarthJedi2005remixes True. Deep down, I think David Tennant would always have been a Doctor at one point even if the show hadn't been cancelled XD

I think the cancellation was its saving grace though. Its never been more popular!

[DarthJedi2005remixes]

@Trayusstudent1 Yeah, I agree with you he wasn't given a fair chance. But I suppose once people have stopped watching a show, it's not long until it gets cancelled. It's just a shame DW was cancelled just as it was getting good again. Looking back though, with hindsight, the cancellation was a good thing, because we'd have never got to see Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant or Matt Smith, and some of the best DW stories ever written. Every cloud has a silver lining I suppose!

[Trayusstudent1]

I really think, like Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy was never really given a chance. I think its rather unfortunate that the Production Team wanted to gradually show the 7th Doctor's darker side. It takes a full series to see glimpses of him become the dark Doctor, then it takes a further series to see it in full. Such a shame. Still at least, like 6, he is given a new, brilliant lease of life in the Big Finish Audios!

@BadNews88 I blame Coronation street and John Nathan Turner, both of them are the true enemies of the Whoniverse! But I still won't forget Michael Grade, that no good affair having, Doctor Who caneller! I'll curse these things the rest of my life!

You are The Doctor.You are the enemy of The Daleks.You will be exterminated.Exterminate.Exter­minate.Exterminate.Exterminate­.

This theme starts.
