Doctor Who Theme 5 - Opening Theme (1970-1980)

High Quality: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hHwJDYCW2Rw&fmt=18

This is the theme that was used in (almost) all the Doctor Who episodes in the 70s and very early 1980s (with exceptions being the Australian broadcast version of "Carnival of Monsters" and all the Pertwee episodes that use the "stutter start" version [more on that in a few weeks!]) Enjoy!

Note: I will not be posting a theme next week partly because it is a bank holiday, but mostly because I'm off "galavanting" around France and Switzerland on a school trip. So I'll see you in a couple of weeks!

Wait a minute, I thought you said Theme 4 ran continously from '67 to '80, but then you turn around and say that this run ran from '70 to '80... What's going on there?

[DarthJedi2005]

This version of theme 4 was only used between 1970 and 1980, but the full theme was in use since 1967. Any clearer?

[alphamone]

so was this the first edit of the theme to have a specific version for the opening instead of just fading out?

[DarthJedi2005]

The first theme to have a specially created opening, yes.

This is ultimately the best version of the Doctor Who theme. R I P Delia Derbyshire.

@DarthJedi2005remixes Pay no mind. You would know better than that person.

@2000catalin And can you tell me how you came to that conclusion?

[2000catalin]

@cobain245 From the fact that timelords have two hearts XD

I now get where RTD got the "Knock Four Times" idea from.

Everytime I hear this one, I feel like I'm in a trance.

[KNDNumbuh394]

[littlemisstorchwood]

not the best version...

Blast it! A question I have to ask myself is why this music turns me on so much.
