  • I love Paul McGann's theme in the TV Movie. It's intense and epic... but far too short and split in two. So how about an extended edition with the opening and closing themes fused together. Hope you enjoy it!

    One of my all time favourites. The middle 8 at the beginning seperates this from all the others and the orchestral sound of it makes it sound so triumphant. It suits the 8th doctor perfectly and is a great asset to the Doctor who theme collection

      I think the middle 8 represents all that is great and majestic of the universe, while the rest of the theme represents the despair and callousness that the universe could so easily kill you. Starting with the middle 8 is incredibly hopeful in my opinion.

    Instead of creating a new Doctor, the 8th Doctor should have been the "War Doctor"(in lieu of Eccleston, not being there) in the 50th Anniversary ep. I don't care what Moffat's excuses were either.

    • @tufty1990
      @tufty1990 Місяць тому

      I saw an interview where Moffat said that was his preference too but the BBC didn't think it was sufficiently "fireworks" enough for the 50th and preferred the idea of a new previously unknown and unheard of doctor.
      I would've preferred McGann in there too, but that is quite a 'Whovian' perspective and I guess they have to think about the mass audience.

    After Nutci Gatwa's time has ended I hope RTD gives Paul the chance to do a first tv series of the show. With RTD running, it is now possible. They brought Tennant back so what's to say that they can't bring back a classic Doctor back if a previous regen face like Tennant can return. If Paul does come back, I hope he returns with his classic style of clothes.

      After they introduced bi-generation, they are definitely going to do a McGann spin-off - I’m calling it. It’s way too big a coincidence to consider RTD hasn’t at least considered it. He was the only Doctor on the Edge to be featured in his own costume. The Seventh Doctor made reference to him regenerating and sometimes not in Tales of the TARDIS, so bi-generated.

      Big Finish can't use this version because the music rights are owned by Universal, not the BBC. The best they could do was use an arrangement of the theme by Jamie Roberts for the Mary Shelley trilogy of Eighth Doctor audios that used the TV Movie theme as its basis.

  • @AlexRooneyComposer

    I think the fact that you moved all the sections round has negatively impacted this theme. Part of the thing that makes this theme so Unique is that it starts with an implication of the Melody then goes into the middle 8. Having the melody be implied then going straight into it removes that feeling of tension waiting for that main melody after having a tiny slither of it given to you. There's also the fact that the arrangement and orchestration of the middle 8 means it can only really go in one place in the theme. Right at the beginning. This being because the middle 8 serves as part of the Intro for this arrangement, which means it's at a lower dynamic that the main melody is. Whilst having a sense of build to it moving into the main melody. Having it towards the end makes it feel really out of place as the dynamic drops and starts building for no apparent reason.
    Over all I'd say this was a solid idea. But had you stuck to the basic structure of this version instead of rearranging it to fit the more standard "intro, Melody, middle 8, Melody, Outro" formula of Doctor Who themes then this would have been far better.
