Doctor Who Middle 8

[BC - 303]

5 is very different to the first 4.
I would Green you fo this, but apparent l must spread my Greens out before greening you again.

[yaaayoubetcha]

4 is my fave, as that's the first exposure before going back and seeing the older stuff...

I'm quite partial to the DT theme currently running.

PD is 3rd.

[Dr. Who]

I like 8 the best

[Darkseid]

Wonderful clips!!! Thanks for sharing!!

I grew up with 3 through 5 and definitely lean towards 5 as my favorite - although they miss something without the context of the intro sequence (the swooshes in particular).

[Eye Of Ra]

my fav's are 1,9 and 10

[asgardlover]

i'd hav to my favs are 5, 7, 8 and 10 but i still hav a lil place in my heart for the first !!!!!!

[The Signal]

8 is my new favourite, I dont really like the First.

[Eye Of Ra]

i like the first 1 cuz it was the original 1

[Seshat]

4 and 5. More partial to 5.

Boy, this certainly brought back memories!

[Easter Lily]

Gee, that was fun...
I like the middle versions the least... More partial to the early (1-4) and more recent versions (9-10).

[Darkseid]

I will have to be honest here. I love the current theme most of all! Something about that orchestration with the moog sounding music that makes me think how much they nailed it!!!

[Madeleine]

I'm all full of nostalgia now

I like the current one a lot. I'm not good at describing music, but the current theme feels like all the elements are fused, compared with the 1-7 themes which kept each element separate. I did like the 1-7 themes, but the current tune suits the current graphics perfectly. I like that they've kept all the essential elements: additions don't bother me but subtractions would. I'm glad that the middle eight has been put back, I always loved that bit, though I'm a bit 'meh' about how they've done the middle eight this time

Of the first seven, my favourite is Four. I do like Five, but it's hard to tell how much of that is the nostalgia.

Six and Seven are a bit too synthesizery, a bit too obviously electronic. Still decent though.

The eighth seems rather weird, and not in the good way. It felt more like the music at the medal ceremony at the end of Star Wars.

Six and Seven are a bit too synthesizery, a bit too obviously electronic. Still decent though.

The sixth one, infamously, was done in a weekend under bad conditions when the production team never got around to providing the new composer with the sheet music or original recordings but expected him to keep to deadline anyway. He had to do the whole thing from memory, essentially, so did a pretty good job all things considered.

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

i like the 10th one (and the middle 8). The middle 8 theme would make an awesome ringtone.

[TheAncient1]

I like them all especialy 5 and 10. I even have the sheet music. though I havent gotten around to playing it yet.

[Stricken]

Is there any difference between 9 & 10???

[Wraith Scientist]

Is there any difference between 9 & 10???

Yes. Listen closely

Listen to the first few seconds of 9, then the first few seconds of 10, and you'll see
