Opening Titles

[Willbreedog]

I'd almost rather have the Keff McCulloch version back.  Almost.

Keff's isn't as bad as some make it out to be & I still love the titles that go with it. 

Having said that my favourite theme version is, and will probably always be Peter Howell's.

I think the opening titles and music are growing on me. I would like to have the older one back, but i guess the new series is all about change, so it wouldnt really work

reluctantly...I agree...
I was watching it before and was like, y'know, I guess this isn't as bad as it first seemed....
believe me how much it pains me to admit that. However, I am determined to still find something wrong wit it and I have! That being, it misses out a lot of the theme tune. Like, the best bit. So yeah.

I'm still mourning the lack of the Big Giant Floaty Doctor Head, I was hoping Moffat would restore it.

is it me or have the horns in the theme music been tuned down since the first episode?

According to the DWP, the music/titles is changing as the season moves on.... I'm hoping that someone with more skills than I would edit together a vid to allow a compare/contrast.

.... and add a big floaty head, whilst they're at it.

I wonder if the production team thought Matt Smith's head looked big and floaty enough attached to his body, let alone superimposed over the time vortex in the titles.

haha i never noticed the titles getting bigger...i agree that they seem to be getting quieter if anything! so we need proof!

I think this is a combination of wishful thinking and overactive imagination on someone's part; I rewatched most of the season last week, prior to "The Hungry Earth," and saw no difference whatever in the titles.  Didn't take out a ruler or yardstick or anything, but they looked to be the same size in every episode.

[wallybee1]

yardstick! haha like something out of an ancient movie

[wallybee1]

you know how I was saying I was getting used to te new titles and didn't mind them much anymore? well, I'm trundling through some old series 4 episodes and have instantly fallen back in love with the old titles so now hate the new ones again

[Murk]

I don't see how. They don't have a big floaty head either.

[wallybee1]

but they have insanely cool music!!!!

[Darkglasses]

but they have insanely cool music!!!!

Do you mean the titles before or after Voyage of the Damned?

Erm...the one with the electric guitar in When i first heard it I thought it sounded weird but then I grew to love it! So is that after?

The Peter Howell arrangement from the early '80s?
