I love how every time the Doctor has a new companion the theme has different variations. David Tennant's theme for example has a different variation for each companion.
Imagine if the BBC erased all of David Tennant's episodes but left just a few like Voyage of the Damned, Human Nature, Blink, and the End of Time. That is how Patrick Troughton fans feel. Now imagine if the BBC never intended to do more with the War Doctor other than his one appearance in Day and Name of the Doctor. That is how Paul McGann fans feel. And finally, imagine if Peter Capaldi refused to step down and got sacked by the BBC! That is precisely how Colin Baker fans feel.
Both Colin and Sylvester got sacked. So many lost episodes never made. Two whole seasons. If the writing wasn’t terrible during their run then the show may have existed into the 90’s. The writers made Colin look like dick, and Sylvester look like just a clown. Thank goodness they had some really good diamond episodes in the ruff so They could at least be appreciated. The show finally got good again. Then BBC canceled them... well crap.
Then imagine if a doctor had a perfect sendoff episode only for the new showrunner to completely f*ck it up and not do a Christmas special This is how Peter Capaldi fans feel
1st Doctor - Yay first! 2nd Doctor - Hey, that's my face. 3rd Doctor - Yes! We're in color now! 4th Doctor - New version of the theme! 5th Doctor - Aw man, I only got one version of my theme. 6th Doctor - Mine's better! 7th Doctor - Check out this fancy 3D animation! 8th Doctor - I'm glad the composer didn't try to make a completely different theme for the movie. 9th Doctor - We're back in business! 10th Doctor - I got 5 intros! 11th Doctor - Oh NOW they decided to put my face back in the intro.

Every time I watch this video, I always get shivers with the Eccleston/Tennant intros, most likely because that's what I watched through High School. But something I notice with the development of Tennant's intro, is that he music gets more urgent, and towards the end, melancholic, and you can sense that time is nearly up for Tennant's Doctor.
As the Fourth Doctor wisely said: "What's the point in growing up if you can't act like a child?" Well, Eleventh acted silly and childish and had fun whenever he could, but was serious and down-to-earth when necessary. And that makes him fantastic.
***** Yah, I liked Tennant better, because he was serious and could be funny while doing it, while Smith was funny and could be serious while doing it.
watsgoinonhere1 And both were terrific performances, all things considered. So have been all the Doctors, in my opinion; each has had his personality, his quirks, his flaws but at the end of the day, no matter who is the actor, one thing remains certain: The Doctor is, and will always be the Doctor. "Same software, different case."
I started with Matt but I watched all of 10th and 9th. Matts my favorite because he's less serious and makes it a little more funny to watch. Lol, just on opinion.
Me: So who's your favorite Doctor? Non-whovian: The 3rd doctor Me: I liked Jon Pertwee too Non-whovian: Who? I'm talking about Matt Smith Me: *smacks the fuck out of that person*
My fav is Matt Smith too. But I know better his is the 11th Doctor. Last Incarnation before he was sposed to die bu the got brand new set of untold amount of regens.
Mackenzie P It"s really up to you. What matters is that you love Doctor Who. You can start by not writing Dr. Who, 'cause the Doctor is not really a doctor. You should always write Doctor Who.
Mackenzie P Oops. Okay. But still, it doesn't matter if you haven't watched the Classic Who episodes. What matters is that you watch Doctor Who, you enjoy it, and you're loyal to the Doctor.
I only just recently into Doctor Who, but my grandparents were huge fans, dating back to the very beginning. The one I do remeber, which I've always associated with the series the most, is the 1974 intro. Classic Tom Baker. Maybe it's childhood nostalgia, but even compared to the modern ones, it's still my favorite.
Petwee's second titles in introduced in his last season made use of the same split screen technology used for the trip sequence in 2001 : A Space Oddity. I love it!
Ill never forget Bakers opening with his face comes up for sure. That will always be my favourite. I do like the incidental music during Tennant's tenure as well. Some really thoughtful pieces to carry the episodes. Music as always is essentual to carrying a story along, nay matter hoe exceptional the plot or story be.
The earlier intros were so strange and funky, and I see how the newest one is based off the older ones because they show his face in the intro, like they did in the old ones.
I USED TO WATCH DR WHO WHEN I WAS A KID EVERY SATURDAY! I NEVER MISSED AN EPISODE! THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK SOME NOSTALGIA!! THOSE WERE THE GOOD TIMES MAN!!!!
I had totally forgotten about the weird sounding one used for John Pertwee. It's like the tones are reversed or negative or something (sorry I know nothing about music so I'm sure I'm not explaining it right). Love the sly wink on the Sylvester McCoy one. Wish they would have him come back for an episode.
The pertwee one was because the episode was called the carnival of monsters, so I think it was to fit in with the title. Just some facts. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doctor who
McCoy was to come back for a flashback appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures in an episode where Sarah met Ace. It was gonna explain on screen what happened to Ace but due to Liz Sladens death it never became anything more than an idea.
I can imagine how astonished people must have been in 1987, when the intro switched to CGI after over half a decade of simple lens flare effects (that went way out of hand in 1986).
As far as new series openings go, yeah. They got better once there was more of a drive to it because that slower orchestral style from 2005 just wasn't very Doctor Who-ish. Of all of the new series openings I like Matt Smith's last series best. It was a great marriage of the classic series and new. Plus it's great to have the Doctor's face in the opening again. And I so hope we get to see Capaldi's wonderful scary eyes in the opening.
Amelia Blank I have to agree on the last series' intro. The opening sequence is fine (if a bit flashy) and I like the visual homages to the classic era. As for the theme tune arrangement heard in that intro, it is the best one yet in the revival era of the show, IMHO.
Yeah. Definitely. I love the electronic feel it has and the that heavy, industrial sounding bass is just ear candy to me. =] The Doctor Who theme is at its best when its really electronic. =]
AOT fabulous kick (spoilers)actualy if you seen the movie davit tennit is the 11th and matt is the 12 because in the movie matt (12) said he was on his last regenaration bacause one doctor diddnt wven call himself the doctor so he was the final regeneration but the crack in amy ponds wall came back and granted him one last regeneration
Sans The Memelord actually in the episode "time of the doctor" before the 11th doctor changes, according to him it's a whole new regeneration cycle (12 regenerations) I hope this was helpful
So the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th doctors all had their faces appear in the theme. Then the 1st, 9th, 10th, and early 11th doctors did not have their faces in the theme. Then it made a comeback with Matts 2012-2013 theme. Hmmm. I wonder what will happen with Calpaldi?? :)
Look closer near the end of matt smiths last theme his face pops up in the clouds but its hard to see 12:35 and after jenna-louise colman you will see him
I hope they will change it for Capaldi, because the current one's is a bit naff. I'd love for them to put his face in the intro, looking very serious and stern
It's pretty impressive that after meny meny years and several different show runners the intro music itself stayed mostly the same throughout the classic era. With only a few changes.
Not to be a spoiler, but the sound quality for Tenant is noticeably better :D! I'm a Tenant fan...so not me griping here. Thank you for all the hard work on this video compilation, friend! like and shared!
When it got to the 2005 intro, I thought "Whoa, it isn't getting any cooler than this!" Then it did. And I thought "WHOA, it can't get cooler than thi-" Then it did! "Holy shmoly! This is really coo-" Then it got cooler!!! etc.
I love how the show has remained faithful as far as its intro. It's kept the same basic idea over the years and the same exact song, only executed differently each time. My favorite is the Christopher Eccleston intro because the song fucking intense but doesn't have that orchestrated feel. That paired with the visuals is enough to give me goosebumps every time. In that intro the Tardis really looks like it's being thrown about as it travels. Although I like the cool way the latest Matt Smith intro went. The 1987-89 one kinda strayed from the concept a bit. I realize they were trying to experiment some and it was a cool change. But I don't see why they had to ruin it with that ugly title format. With the big ass glass lettering spelling "WHO" and the little squiggled "Doctor", the final insult being the episode title being split by a bold blue line. That was a late 80's thing that really bugged me. It wasn't attractive and it wasn't cool. Almost expecting to see the dic logo at the end....well other than those few seconds, the rest of this video was pretty fucking wizard!
I agree Pasta Master, the 7th Doctor's intro wasn't very good - it tried too hard on the music and the then-nifty computer graphics, and didn't try nearly hard enough to come up with a decent design for the "Doctor Who" titles.
It's not the graphics. The computer animated nebula was a step it a pretty cool direction. It's the ugly titles that seemed to appear in a lot of shows back then. Doctor Who is a show that sets itself apart from other shows in a lot of ways. In fact it never even makes references to other shows. Everything is original. Well...at least there were no references until David Tenant. lol
I love the extremely subtle variations in the music at first, and then through the new series. I've always loved listening to the new themes each season, even if I don't follow the show anymore.
Nah, they're just pretty awful. His first is very downbeat which doesn't really match the show well, a definite step down from 9/10s themes. And his other has really awful visuals. You can actually see the billboarding effect on the nebula cloud thingies.Terry Eubanks
Christ, seeing the same, but not QUITE the same same, Tennant titles gave me a headache. I know he's popular and all, but do we really need to see the same title animation (with the slightest changes) SIX. TIMES. In a row?! (counting Eccelston's only intro)
the same happened with the 1st 80s intro too. But unlike the new ones they ruined it in the 80s in my opinion. The orginal-80s, the Tennant/Eccelston's, and the 2013 one are the best. everything in between those were meh, overdone, and missing the human element.
I like the 80s ones a lot but my favorites are still the 2005-2007 ones and Smith's intros. I don't like the Tennant ones too much because I felt that they were too loud and it's like they thrown in every instrument they have in an orchestra and just made it play the Doctor Who theme. Smith's newer ones are a it too quiet though, but that's understandable considering how dark Eleven has been since he lost Amy and Rory. Then again, it's like they just hired a bunch of VFX artists to throw a bunch of paint on a wall then animate an intro with it and add the face to make sure people have a reason to like it. I should really stop stating opinions that I suddenly contradict at the last minute...
Seeing the hype of the 50th special, reading a synopsis and watching clips like these got me interested. While I'm aware of basic stuff, I don't even know where to begin watching due to the massiveness of the franchise. Eh, perhaps I can join the new generation of Who fans when the 12th Doctor's series will start up. Would be fitting.
You can get the Series 1 (2005) boxset for around £10. That would be safer than buying the big Series 1-4 set in case you didn't enjoy it. Some people start by watching a few classics (on Netflix or DVD or illegally) like Genesis of the Daleks, The Deadly Assassin, Blink, Dalek, Frontier in Space, The Satan Pit, The Caves of Adrozani, The Robots of Death, The Daemons, Curse of Fenric, Human Nature....
Start with David Tennant, Season(or Series) 2. The writing, stories, script, monsters, settings, are much better. Christopher Ecclson is a great Doctor, but David Tenant all the way :) The Classic Doctors are found online and play out not unlike theatre, they are considered to be slower, and enjoyable in bites
Don't start with series two or five, that's just silly. To actually have a grasp of what you're watching, you're better off watching season one (the 2005 reboot). It IS pretty cheesy but once you get through it, you get to watch Tennant in action. It's just common logic to watch season ONE first.
I would advise viewing series one of the reboot (Not truly a reboot since it maintains continuity of the old series) then series two as it really starts to shine. Then, if you are enjoying it and get curious about the past, check out some classic serials with Tom Baker as The Doctor. Quaint effects, cheap sets and old school audio and video, but if you learn to love Doctor Who, you can appreciate the writing, and Bakers eccentric but endearing take on The Doctor.
This is the very first video i watched related to Doctor Who! I got really interested and did a little research on our favorite timelord. By research, I mean Top 10s and the binged series 1- 10 (2005-2017)
Jon Pertwee is still my favorite Doctor, the Pertwee logo is still my favorite Doctor Who logo, but opening credit wise, I really love the opening from his last season where its using the "Slit-scan" process that became well known for the Tom Baker era. I like how Pertwee's face fades in, then for the first, and only time in a DW credits sequence the camera zooms out to a full body shot of the Doctor and he then proceeds to fly off backwards into the time vortex. Fun stuff!
OMG Yes.I love that intro with Jon Pertwee too. He has always been my personal favorite Doctor because he wore the best outfits ever and was such a Dandy Doctor! :) Isnt it funny how when its their last season as the Doctor, they get the best intros? Same with Tom Baker, I loved when he got the 1980's star field title with the 1980's theme for his last season. Also for Colin Baker's last season, he got that amazing 1986 Doctor Who Theme by Dominic Glynn. And it seems the tradition continues with Matt Smith, in the last season, he got the best intro of the revived Doctor Who series because they finally brought back the tradition of having the Doctor's face in the title.
Isn't where Amy introduces herself as a child staring out of her bedroom saying "i had a imaginary friend he left,i got older and one day he came back" one of the openings?
Well...The Reason why it did not play...is because the Creator of the video just put the Starting Intro's with the music....I kinda would agree with you...but...yeah..
3:20 "How should we change up the intro a bit?" "How about we use the same one, but ruin all of the colors" "... I love it!" 11:54 - history repeats itself
The producers be like: "YO FUCK WE GOT COLOUR TELE NOW HOW MANY COLOURS CAN WE GET ON THAT SCREEN AT ONCE"
And then we got Electric Soldier Porygon…and we got too fucking greedy!
Lapna Xerio It didn't help that it was the late 60's and 1970's. I bet they got ahold of some drugs in the making of the opening.
Lapna Xerio so I haven't watched the classics but at least I know of them so I wouldn't make that mistake
i hate matt smith's intro
Lieutenant Cyber fuck you
I love how every time the Doctor has a new companion the theme has different variations. David Tennant's theme for example has a different variation for each companion.
Imagine if the BBC erased all of David Tennant's episodes but left just a few like Voyage of the Damned, Human Nature, Blink, and the End of Time. That is how Patrick Troughton fans feel.
Now imagine if the BBC never intended to do more with the War Doctor other than his one appearance in Day and Name of the Doctor. That is how Paul McGann fans feel.
And finally, imagine if Peter Capaldi refused to step down and got sacked by the BBC! That is precisely how Colin Baker fans feel.
John Smith
Then imagine if the next Doctor was announced to be leaving before the series even aired. That is how Eccleston fans feel.
Both Colin and Sylvester got sacked. So many lost episodes never made. Two whole seasons. If the writing wasn’t terrible during their run then the show may have existed into the 90’s. The writers made Colin look like dick, and Sylvester look like just a clown. Thank goodness they had some really good diamond episodes in the ruff so They could at least be appreciated. The show finally got good again. Then BBC canceled them... well crap.
Then imagine if a doctor had a perfect sendoff episode only for the new showrunner to completely f*ck it up and not do a Christmas special
This is how Peter Capaldi fans feel
1st Doctor - Yay first!
2nd Doctor - Hey, that's my face.
3rd Doctor - Yes! We're in color now!
4th Doctor - New version of the theme!
5th Doctor - Aw man, I only got one version of my theme.
6th Doctor - Mine's better!
7th Doctor - Check out this fancy 3D animation!
8th Doctor - I'm glad the composer didn't try to make a completely different theme for the movie.
9th Doctor - We're back in business!
10th Doctor - I got 5 intros!
11th Doctor - Oh NOW they decided to put my face back in the intro.
Yassss
Although the visuals have heavily changed, the music is still amazing as when it first aired in 1963.
For the tenth's numerous title sequences, it sounds like they actually sampled the music from when it first aired in 1963.
They actually did that beginning with 9th.
Who thinks i should make another video when Capaldis Intro comes out.
yes, please do
You should
Do it. I imagine their will be some who might like the new intro, search for it on UA-cam, find this and be disappointed that it isn't here.
if you another video should make, thank you we will
yes I do this video fantastic.
that 1980-1981 is a really big change from the others
And it's amazing.
My reaction was "Well... That escalated quickly"
watsgoinonhere1
lol mine too! xD
watsgoinonhere1 If you think that escalated quickly, what about the change from 1996 to 2005??? :P
BLASPHEMY!
I think my favourites are those from Tennant's era. Full and powerful
Baby Shaq no Peter Davison for the Win!!!
reezlaw Am I the only one who liked Eccleston?
reezlaw I
No! I loved Eccleston's doctor
Smith's all the way
I bet, When you merge all these intros into one visually, you'll get the time vortex.
I tried. I wasted My time
AsHKieW [Doge dogee]
Awww
+StarFesse [Doge dogge] Thought about it too much, now it sounds like a joke.
Brianna Blank lol
Brianna Blank if I put all these into 1 visual I would have epilepsy
For the 3rd Doctor's theme, they were basically saying "Look! We have colour!" It looked to me that they tried to use as much colour as possible.
I agree
XD
Well coloured TV was new at the time and they wanted to show it off.
Percy Jackson Here is what I think what happened
Joe: "Bob we got Color TV now what do I do?"
Bob: "I don't know I just drank 3 bottles of beer let's make a intro of seizures"
Joe: "Good Idea"
Yeah they were just just showing off
I LOVE HOW DAVID TENNANT HAS LIKE FIVE FUCKING OPENINGS AND EVERYONE ELSE HAS LIKE ONE OR TWO
Cause he is a badass doctor!
UKRAINE!!!
Wait no
Autocorrect
IKR!!!
I love the moment in the newer openings, when the TARDIS "stops" and the camera goes around and then the TARDIS goes on flying.

David Tennant's was no doubt the best with the percussion and cellos in the background.
David Brock gotta love the cellos but I think that this percussion thing is a little too much, personally prefer eccleston's theme
David Brock the grand staring the funniest people in the world ...oh this a doctor video sos🤣
#POWER
People REALLY liked having faces back then.
Edit: From Classic to New...IT ESCALATED QUICKLY.
Every time I watch this video, I always get shivers with the Eccleston/Tennant intros, most likely because that's what I watched through High School. But something I notice with the development of Tennant's intro, is that he music gets more urgent, and towards the end, melancholic, and you can sense that time is nearly up for Tennant's Doctor.
Season 4 opening is the best...those extra little punch packed in with every beat really lets you feel the excitement. :D
Tom Baker was by far THE BEST Doctor, Christopher Eccleston coming in a very close 2nd !!
I love the fourth doctors begining i hear hes a really good one!!
Whoops. People seem to have misunderstood me...I mean revival series season 4... :P
JESUS CHRIST DAVID HOW MANY INTROS DO YOI NEED? 😂😂😂😂
5 themes for 5 years. My favorite out of those was the 2009-2010 theme.
lol. there are two billion
Lol
+Rainbowdash6doesMC It's not David tennet that choose them it's the directors so don't blame david
+Payton W It was a joke
It is funny that most people here hate Matt Smith...
Well I like him.
As the Fourth Doctor wisely said: "What's the point in growing up if you can't act like a child?"
Well, Eleventh acted silly and childish and had fun whenever he could, but was serious and down-to-earth when necessary. And that makes him fantastic.

Well yah, I wasn't saying I liked either one more or less, I was just saying why some other people might prefer one or the other.
watsgoinonhere1 But of course, and no one is right or wrong in their choice; all of the Doctors are awesome in one way or another.
The one thing in common: that high-pitch noise. We all know what I'm talking about.
WOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOooooo
And the heartbeat of the Doctor
All you kids who started on Matt Smith are making me feel old as hell, heh. Maybe I'm overdue for a regeneration?
I started at nine
I started with Matt but I watched all of 10th and 9th. Matts my favorite because he's less serious and makes it a little more funny to watch. Lol, just on opinion.
When I was really young, my dad and I would watch the older Doctor Who episodes, but it wasn't until 2005's Dalek that got me into the show.
_"This old body of mine is wearing a bit thin..."_
Jamly Jar I started at Christopher Eccleston. And even that makes me feel ancient.
This is pretty nifty. You really get to see how the series openings have evolved.
DOCTOR WHO FANS, UNITE
YES
...actually, I should have said "Whovians" unite
too late
he could just post the coment again whith whoveans unite
yah but then my other comment would have been stupid
EXTERMINATE IT
Knock knock
Who is it
Doctor
Doctor Who?
yes
ShokitosMon no
ShokitosMon i don't get it 🤔
Funny
Who’s the doctor.
Eccleson's was the best, and will remain in my heart as the original song.
yes i know but he never came back
gygabite the original and the best
Me: So who's your favorite Doctor?
Non-whovian: The 3rd doctor
Me: I liked Jon Pertwee too
Non-whovian: Who? I'm talking about Matt Smith
Me: *smacks the fuck out of that person*
omg just reading that comment just pissed me off lol
My fav is Matt Smith too. But I know better his is the 11th Doctor. Last Incarnation before he was sposed to die bu the got brand new set of untold amount of regens.
i prefer david tennant, had more of a flare and felt more like the doctor than matt to me, also hes not in the stephan moffat era so thats a plus
Mine was the 10th doctor
David Tennant, from the "new" Doctor. From the original, I'll go with Jon Pertwee, too.
Only a true Whovian would finish this whole video.
Than I am true
I finished it but I haven't seen any of the Classic Dr. Who. Am I still a Whovian, or do is still have to earn that write?
Mackenzie P It"s really up to you. What matters is that you love Doctor Who. You can
start by not writing Dr. Who, 'cause the Doctor is not really a doctor. You should always write Doctor Who.
Random Fandoms yeah I know about the Dr. Vs The Doctor I was just being lazy XD
Mackenzie P Oops. Okay. But still, it doesn't matter if you haven't watched the Classic Who episodes. What matters is that you watch Doctor Who, you enjoy it, and you're loyal to the Doctor.
Imagine peter davion's face going closer to you like that

Brave heart, tegan
Sorry, must dash! Anyone know who said that?
How did your comment get so many likes?
Id rather listen to this than a weird dupstep...
I like this AND dubstep!
Leon Runarsson Dahl There's at least 2 Dubstep Doctor Who Theme Remixes on UA-cam, just searh "Doctor Who dubstep" XD
An Ordinator
You get Cancer!
Bud Charles Dubstep is ghey
I'm probably one of the few people the likes Matt Smith the MOST out of the doctors, probably since he was the Doctor I started with
Why would you start with 11? It seems like people really should start with 9.
TristanBomb Or 1, if you like the Classic series much more.
I also started with 11.
TristanBomb
Because I became a fan during the 50th anniversary and 11 was current so I started with him
TristanBomb I started with 11, then went back to 10, then 9, then went back to some classic episodes and everything made sense to me.
i loveeee matt smith he is awesome and hilarious definantly my favorite
If you mix up the letters in Doctor Who you get Torchwood! :D
HOLY SHIT
@@DittoGTI Brilliant, right?
the people that made the earliest intros myst have been high as shit
especially pertwees second intro
Ahh the hippie era, also they didn't have the best of technology. No computers for special effects like today.
Petwee's second titles in introduced in his last season made use of the same split screen technology used for the trip sequence in 2001 : A Space Oddity. I love it!
10:48 The violin! The violin makes this one amazing!
My favorites were the David Tennent ones and the Hartnell ones. By the way, you'll definitely need to update this fairly soon.
If i had to shoose my favorite CLASSIC opening, it's definately 1980-1981. Just the song itself makes Doctor sound epic.
makes Doctor Who sound epic.
Leon Runarsson Dahl It is, i just commented when i first saw the 80-81, its my opinion
Leon Runarsson Dahl GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Imagine watching these when you're high
I must be the only person that likes the 1987-1989 theme the best. Tell me I'm not alone!
The jump on 2005 is amazing.
Ill never forget Bakers opening with his face comes up for sure. That will always be my favourite. I do like the incidental music during Tennant's tenure as well. Some really thoughtful pieces to carry the episodes. Music as always is essentual to carrying a story along, nay matter hoe exceptional the plot or story be.
Can't wait till the fiftieth soooo close
Does anyone else dance when the Doctor Who Theme plays at the start of an episode and then get weird looks from their family?
I humm the theme song of 11th Doctor because I like it so much.
My dad will only give me a look of calmness
Its nice to see all the doctor who openings over the years. My favourite doctor is David Tennant. Aka the tenth doctor.
I think my favorite is david tenants 2008-2010. I love them all!
The earlier intros were so strange and funky, and I see how the newest one is based off the older ones because they show his face in the intro, like they did in the old ones.
I USED TO WATCH DR WHO WHEN I WAS A KID EVERY SATURDAY! I NEVER MISSED AN EPISODE! THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK SOME NOSTALGIA!! THOSE WERE THE GOOD TIMES MAN!!!!
Cherrie OK FAM COOL DOWN
Man! These intros will get you high in space
I had totally forgotten about the weird sounding one used for John Pertwee. It's like the tones are reversed or negative or something (sorry I know nothing about music so I'm sure I'm not explaining it right).
Love the sly wink on the Sylvester McCoy one. Wish they would have him come back for an episode.
The pertwee one was because the episode was called the carnival of monsters, so I think it was to fit in with the title.
Just some facts.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ doctor who
They might in the 60th anniversary, who knows.
McCoy was to come back for a flashback appearance in the Sarah Jane Adventures in an episode where Sarah met Ace. It was gonna explain on screen what happened to Ace but due to Liz Sladens death it never became anything more than an idea.
erosion271 What a shame.
Chris McWilliams No reason it couldn't be worked into a future story in the main series.
The older music is the best....so much distinction, mystery and spaciness as it should be.
shaft9000 all of 1980's ones star theme were good and cgi McCoy which was 120000 pound to film
I can imagine how astonished people must have been in 1987, when the intro switched to CGI after over half a decade of simple lens flare effects (that went way out of hand in 1986).
Clara:"Why are you naked!?"
Matt Smith:"Because I'm going to Church"
Personally, I thought that 2007 and beyond was better because of the amount of intensity in it.
As far as new series openings go, yeah. They got better once there was more of a drive to it because that slower orchestral style from 2005 just wasn't very Doctor Who-ish. Of all of the new series openings I like Matt Smith's last series best. It was a great marriage of the classic series and new. Plus it's great to have the Doctor's face in the opening again. And I so hope we get to see Capaldi's wonderful scary eyes in the opening.
Amelia Blank I have to agree on the last series' intro. The opening sequence is fine (if a bit flashy) and I like the visual homages to the classic era. As for the theme tune arrangement heard in that intro, it is the best one yet in the revival era of the show, IMHO.
Yeah. Definitely. I love the electronic feel it has and the that heavy, industrial sounding bass is just ear candy to me. =] The Doctor Who theme is at its best when its really electronic. =]
doctor whos 2007 theme was awsome
I agree, the intro's onwards make me incredibly pumped for the episode I'm about to watch.
non-whovian: it's just, instrumental you can't sing to this.
me: watch me
Me:who's your fav Doctor???
Brother: 12th
Me: I like the 10th
Bro: who the who?
Me:-_-
My fav ones is 4th one,7th one 9th Doctor and David tennat as well
long live the tenth doctor!!! (David Tennant)
AOT fabulous kick (spoilers)actualy if you seen the movie davit tennit is the 11th and matt is the 12 because in the movie matt (12) said he was on his last regenaration bacause one doctor diddnt wven call himself the doctor so he was the final regeneration but the crack in amy ponds wall came back and granted him one last regeneration
Sans The Memelord actually in the episode "time of the doctor" before the 11th doctor changes, according to him it's a whole new regeneration cycle (12 regenerations) I hope this was helpful
my fav is 4th doctor 5th doctor 10th doctor For me the worst is 9th doctor
So the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th doctors all had their faces appear in the theme. Then the 1st, 9th, 10th, and early 11th doctors did not have their faces in the theme. Then it made a comeback with Matts 2012-2013 theme. Hmmm. I wonder what will happen with Calpaldi?? :)
It is confirmed that Capaldi's face will be in the intro, taking back to a classic theme :)
Look closer near the end of matt smiths last theme his face pops up in the clouds but its hard to see 12:35 and after jenna-louise colman you will see him
Only half of the face is
like eyes,hair,but not the mouth
I wish the BBC AMERICA channel would play the classic Doctor Who episodes
I can't wait to see how Capaldi's will look!
I hope they will change it for Capaldi, because the current one's is a bit naff. I'd love for them to put his face in the intro, looking very serious and stern
1980 my fav!
they said that Capaldi's doctor will be more darker than the previous ones.
I was hoping he would be happy
Erik Melendez Only if there was an official BBC post about it.
It's pretty impressive that after meny meny years and several different show runners the intro music itself stayed mostly the same throughout the classic era. With only a few changes.
I love Sylvester McCoy's theme:)
Me too
The music is so much better on David Tennant's last one
I absolutely the element of suspense and dread it evokes, muahaha!
Not to be a spoiler, but the sound quality for Tenant is noticeably better :D! I'm a Tenant fan...so not me griping here. Thank you for all the hard work on this video compilation, friend! like and shared!
it's cool how the theme stays the same but changes slightly for each doctor and matches the time era it was for
They should have brought back the 1963 theme for the 50th year anniversary!
James Lucas
I thought they did, I'll have to watch again
James Lucas They did? The Day of the Doctor (50th anniversary special) straight up had the original opening.
They did
James Lucas This shows that you didn't actually watch it.
I love the current Matt Smith one, its like an homage to the last 4th, the 5th and the 6th doctors openings.
2007, god i love that theme, so much of a beat to it :D
that one moment were your so board that you watch almost all the doctor who intros ever
Try watching this when you are half-asleep on the night shift at work. Whoa
My personal favorite openings: 1974 Pertwee, 1974-80 Tom Baker, 1986 Colin Baker, 1987 McCoy, 2010 Tennant, and 2013 Matt Smith's current/final theme
When it got to the 2005 intro, I thought "Whoa, it isn't getting any cooler than this!" Then it did. And I thought "WHOA, it can't get cooler than thi-" Then it did! "Holy shmoly! This is really coo-" Then it got cooler!!! etc.
There might not be a lot of love for the TV movie, but that opening was a big improvement from previous ones :-)
Am I the only that never gets tired of watching this 😮 and loves it when it's 2005
I love how the show has remained faithful as far as its intro. It's kept the same basic idea over the years and the same exact song, only executed differently each time. My favorite is the Christopher Eccleston intro because the song fucking intense but doesn't have that orchestrated feel. That paired with the visuals is enough to give me goosebumps every time. In that intro the Tardis really looks like it's being thrown about as it travels. Although I like the cool way the latest Matt Smith intro went.
The 1987-89 one kinda strayed from the concept a bit. I realize they were trying to experiment some and it was a cool change. But I don't see why they had to ruin it with that ugly title format. With the big ass glass lettering spelling "WHO" and the little squiggled "Doctor", the final insult being the episode title being split by a bold blue line. That was a late 80's thing that really bugged me. It wasn't attractive and it wasn't cool. Almost expecting to see the dic logo at the end....well other than those few seconds, the rest of this video was pretty fucking wizard!
I agree Pasta Master, the 7th Doctor's intro wasn't very good - it tried too hard on the music and the then-nifty computer graphics, and didn't try nearly hard enough to come up with a decent design for the "Doctor Who" titles.
I don't blame them. That's the style a lot of shows were taking at the time. I just never thought it was a good style.
Pasta Master i like the music it added something a bit new, the graphice are too oh we have computers now how modern and lets overdo it totally :)
It's not the graphics. The computer animated nebula was a step it a pretty cool direction. It's the ugly titles that seemed to appear in a lot of shows back then. Doctor Who is a show that sets itself apart from other shows in a lot of ways. In fact it never even makes references to other shows. Everything is original. Well...at least there were no references until David Tenant. lol
Pasta Master ****harry potter
The 2005 theme music was the best
How about 2007?
i liked the 87s McCoy theme as equal ;)
Joe Montgomery yeah right
Joe Montgomery YESSSSS
1986
i like how the 2005 - 2010 intros show the Doppler affect in changing from blue to red when passing the tardis.
I love the extremely subtle variations in the music at first, and then through the new series. I've always loved listening to the new themes each season, even if I don't follow the show anymore.
6:14 Sylvester McCoy was my favourite. Possibly because I grew up in the 80's and loved it
Gotta respect Jon Petrwee's ''DOINGJO-OI DOIJONNGOI''
I actually like it, shouldn't have been taken out :C
It makes me think of someone jumping on a pogo stick really fast :P
Wow. DOINGJO. Seperate the words and you get 'doing Jo (Grant)'... just thought I would like to point that out xD
Stonewall Jackson If you listen really carefully, the 2005 one (I'm not sure about the others) has it :)
i see the newest one is a tribute to the older ones
A shitty one at that.
Jeffear Cowardly
How unfair of television and popular science fiction imagery to be not exactly the same as 50 years ago!
Nah, they're just pretty awful. His first is very downbeat which doesn't really match the show well, a definite step down from 9/10s themes. And his other has really awful visuals. You can actually see the billboarding effect on the nebula cloud thingies.Terry Eubanks
Warning to all viewers: you may suffer brain damage and headaches after watching these openings... they're still BEAUTIFUL!!!
Happy 50th Doctor Who!
Christ, seeing the same, but not QUITE the same same, Tennant titles gave me a headache. I know he's popular and all, but do we really need to see the same title animation (with the slightest changes) SIX. TIMES. In a row?! (counting Eccelston's only intro)
the same happened with the 1st 80s intro too. But unlike the new ones they ruined it in the 80s in my opinion. The orginal-80s, the Tennant/Eccelston's, and the 2013 one are the best. everything in between those were meh, overdone, and missing the human element.
It said in the title that it would be every single intro...why watch it then
ThexLoneWolf22x
Well, I didn't think it meant literally EVERY one. And yes, I could've just skipped ahead to Smith's intros. :/
Nice retrospective. I love Eccleston's and Tennant's openings best. Such energy!
Oh, wow, this was amazing. I stood still here on my chair and just watch and listen the whole video, like I was under hypnosis.... Awesome!!
I like the 80s ones a lot but my favorites are still the 2005-2007 ones and Smith's intros. I don't like the Tennant ones too much because I felt that they were too loud and it's like they thrown in every instrument they have in an orchestra and just made it play the Doctor Who theme. Smith's newer ones are a it too quiet though, but that's understandable considering how dark Eleven has been since he lost Amy and Rory. Then again, it's like they just hired a bunch of VFX artists to throw a bunch of paint on a wall then animate an intro with it and add the face to make sure people have a reason to like it. I should really stop stating opinions that I suddenly contradict at the last minute...
Seeing the hype of the 50th special, reading a synopsis and watching clips like these got me interested. While I'm aware of basic stuff, I don't even know where to begin watching due to the massiveness of the franchise.
Eh, perhaps I can join the new generation of Who fans when the 12th Doctor's series will start up. Would be fitting.
You can get the Series 1 (2005) boxset for around £10. That would be safer than buying the big Series 1-4 set in case you didn't enjoy it.
Some people start by watching a few classics (on Netflix or DVD or illegally) like Genesis of the Daleks, The Deadly Assassin, Blink, Dalek, Frontier in Space, The Satan Pit, The Caves of Adrozani, The Robots of Death, The Daemons, Curse of Fenric, Human Nature....
Start with David Tennant, Season(or Series) 2. The writing, stories, script, monsters, settings, are much better. Christopher Ecclson is a great Doctor, but David Tenant all the way :)
The Classic Doctors are found online and play out not unlike theatre, they are considered to be slower, and enjoyable in bites
Don't start with series two or five, that's just silly. To actually have a grasp of what you're watching, you're better off watching season one (the 2005 reboot). It IS pretty cheesy but once you get through it, you get to watch Tennant in action. It's just common logic to watch season ONE first.
I would advise viewing series one of the reboot (Not truly a reboot since it maintains continuity of the old series) then series two as it really starts to shine. Then, if you are enjoying it and get curious about the past, check out some classic serials with Tom Baker as The Doctor. Quaint effects, cheap sets and old school audio and video, but if you learn to love Doctor Who, you can appreciate the writing, and Bakers eccentric but endearing take on The Doctor.
This is the very first video i watched related to Doctor Who! I got really interested and did a little research on our favorite timelord. By research, I mean Top 10s and the binged series 1- 10 (2005-2017)
It's almost like watching the history of science fiction from 1963 till now.
Tennant's last opening music is the best, by far.
I love the 2005 one, it's the theme of my childhood.
Jon Pertwee is still my favorite Doctor, the Pertwee logo is still my favorite Doctor Who logo, but opening credit wise, I really love the opening from his last season where its using the "Slit-scan" process that became well known for the Tom Baker era. I like how Pertwee's face fades in, then for the first, and only time in a DW credits sequence the camera zooms out to a full body shot of the Doctor and he then proceeds to fly off backwards into the time vortex. Fun stuff!
OMG Yes.I love that intro with Jon Pertwee too. He has always been my personal favorite Doctor because he wore the best outfits ever and was such a Dandy Doctor! :)
Isnt it funny how when its their last season as the Doctor, they get the best intros? Same with Tom Baker, I loved when he got the 1980's star field title with the 1980's theme for his last season. Also for Colin Baker's last season, he got that amazing 1986 Doctor Who Theme by Dominic Glynn. And it seems the tradition continues with Matt Smith, in the last season, he got the best intro of the revived Doctor Who series because they finally brought back the tradition of having the Doctor's face in the title.
watching all of these makes you realise how visually amazing these intros are
Isn't where Amy introduces herself as a child staring out of her bedroom saying
"i had a imaginary friend he left,i got older and one day he came back"
one of the openings?
and the slightly-altered intro at the beginning of season 7?
Well...The Reason why it did not play...is because the Creator of the video just put the Starting Intro's with the music....I kinda would agree with you...but...yeah..
I think so, not sure, but it should be included
Well spotted was watching a repeat on UKTV last week & there it was! Agree it should be included !
60s and 70s versions have so much atmosphere. Then comes the 80s...
Great to see how it's changed over years..
Even just watching the intro's makes you feel like you're going through every journey the doctor's been through.
I like how in the 80's they used the Star Wars font haha xD
Well, yeah. Star Wars is from the 80's, it must have been a popular font back then.
David Tennant 2005-2010 Where The Best He Would Still Be The Doctor If He Didn't Leave The Show
3:20 "How should we change up the intro a bit?"
"How about we use the same one, but ruin all of the colors"
"... I love it!"
11:54 - history repeats itself
50 years of the doctor and still the best thing to watch. PERIOD!!!!
