I still like the 1996 movie title sequence, and of course, I grew up with Tom Bakers opening. I also like Colin Baker's 'Trial of a Time Lord' sequence, For the new series I like 9/10's opening and 12's opening.

I like the one that goes "da da da dam da da da dam da da da dam da da da dam wheeeeeeeoooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeeehooooooooooo etc. "

 

[The Wormhole]

My favourite arrangement of the theme is the one used for the 96 TV movie. My favourite opening sequence is the one used for the Sylvester McCoy run.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

The David Arnold/Eighth Doctor theme.

 

[Captain Crow]

Delia Derbyshire pre-1967/1970/1972 alterations.

 

[Marc]

The David Arnold/Eighth Doctor theme.

Is that the one used by Big Finish that has very heavy bassline?

Four beats, just like in the Master's head. Coincidence????

Nu Who series 4 - basically the 70s version with more bass. Titles-wise, the 1974-79 version.

Not in the slightest - that was always based on the bass underbeat of the theme, same as the Daleks' theme in Evil Of The Daleks was.

 

[All-Seeing I]

The Tom Baker 1974-1979 theme and title sequence, the Dr Who of my childhood.

The NuWho 2005 rearrangement - like a galloping horse rider grabbing you by the scruff of the neck and dragging you along for 30 seconds before dropping you at the start of the episode.

I also liked Dominic Glynn's Terror remix on his Variations on a Theme EP.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

My favorite has always been and will always be the Tom Baker theme (aside from his final season).

I've also been a life-long defender of the Sylvester McCoy theme, which I know many people don't like. I especially love the middle 8 for that theme.

For the new series, I think my favorite is the series 4 theme, but most variations of the theme during the Moffat era have been great fun, too.

The beginning of the Five Doctors does it for me. That Hartnell speech, and then WHAM! Stars and Davison's face and the theme, and it's all good.

Third Doctor's theme: driving, appropriately strange, ending with its off-putting electronic sting, as if to punctuate the Pertwee Doctor's world as being strange and dangerous.
.
Seventh Doctor's theme: A new arrangement for a very different era for the character, but having the air
of the familiar, yet "alien" qualities, which supported the Sylvester McCoy Doctor's mix of human-like quality and the mysterious.

The more action-oriented closing credits of the Tenth Doctor's theme (e.g., heard at the end of "Doomsday") spoke to that Doctor's constantly peril-battered run--no closing notes of victory, or anything else with positive emotion.

Horror of Glam Rock's glam rock version.

Delia Derbyshire pre-1967/1970/1972 alterations.

Actually, I'd go so far as to say pre-1963 alterations. Delia's original realization is still the absolute benchmark, one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever, a timeless classic.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

Honestly, though... its the Peter Howell theme. It doesn't get better than that.

Beyond that, I have real fondness for the series 1-3 and the series 4/4B themes, the aforementioned 8 theme from BF, and even the Glynn theme. The latter does grown on youm

 

[Orac]

I like the 1963 version best and the 1980 version bestest.
