Doctor Who closing titles December 1974 - January 1980

The Doctor Who closing titles used from December 28th 1974 - January 12thg 1980.

There were two versions of this sequence made, one with the "middle eight" (that jolly-sounding bit in the famous theme) and the second one with just the main theme tune notes playing over and over again. This is the second version as they very rarely used the middle eight version during Tom Baker's time.

I believe They Never used "The Middle Eight".

[AidanLunn]

@JHollowayNetwork It was used on some episodes of The Invasion of Time and the final part of The Armageddon Factor.

[Borusa1976]

@AidanLunn And some of Talons Of Weng Chiang.....

[AidanLunn]

@Borusa1976 It wasn't. I've just finished watching that and I can tell you there is no middle eight on the end titles of any Talons episode.

Agreed - the Middle Eight has been my favourite section of the ever-famous theme tune ever since I first heard it (which, for those of you who are interested, was at the end of the omnibus edition of The Keeper of Traken), so failing to hear it in any version of the theme is always a disappointment for me. I was thrilled when it was restored at the end of The Christmas Invasion!

The middle eight rules! Respect due to Peter Howell for bringing it back.

Murray Gold should be shot for dissing (*) it!!

(*) Er, I think that's the vernacular the youth of today use ;-)

Ah, this might be the ending I was thinking of.

The Doctor shouts this in Revenge of the Cybermen.

I laughed so hard when the doc said it so i played it back 10 times. lol.

[AidanLunn]

@MrPsychic8472 No, it's prt of the theme tune.

next thing people will be saying that the cliffhanger "sting" isn't part of the theme tune.

[MrPsychic8472]

Random closing note for the BBC?

[AidanLunn]

@MrPsychic8472 Yes, i meant to say that it is part of the theme tune. If it's not part of the theme tune, then why is it joined onto the theme tune?

[MrPsychic8472]

I think they meant that hissing noise when they showed the BBC logo.
