The Ultimate Doctor Who title mix

December 282009

This video is a mix of all the ‘official’ titles and themes from Doctor Who, as well as one unofficial one for the 8th Doctor (that my brother phil94b has already uploaded on YouTube previously), and the face of every Doctor.

The title’s a bit arrogant I know, but I spent two months of my free time making and perfecting this video. I’ve also put in some extra touches to give myself a sense of achievement and to make it more enjoyable than the usual title mix. I apologuise in advance for the lack in audio and video quality. The mix was so long and big that I had to significantly downgrade just so I could upload it onto YouTube. The audio of the themes may also sound a bit strange as I’ve pitch and tempo-shifted each theme arrangement (within reason) so it matched that of the original Delia Derbyshire 1963 arrangement (unfortunately the theme from the TV movie was impossible to tempo-shift without dire results).

Please note: this is a title mix, not a title compilation so none of the titles and themes presented here are exactly as they were on their original transmission. Special thanks to every person involved in the making of these original titles and themes, for which this video alone would not be possible (there’s too many to mention specific names), and of course the main inspiration of many a video here on YouTube – Doctor Who.

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I hope enjoyed watching it as much as I did making it.

Additional (as of Spring 2009): I will re-make the Ultimate Doctor Who title mix eventually, after Matt Smith’s Titles are upon us in summer 2010. There’s no point starting it now, only for it to be outdated 6 months later when it’s finished. Also, there’s no point trying to create a ‘fake’ Matt Smith version as Murray Gold is leaving along with Russell T. Davies and David Tennant at the end of the latest run of special episodes. That means that in 2010, we’ll likely have a brand new version of the Who theme, so it seems worthless to predict that. I’m soryy to those who want something now, but in light of Matt Smith being known as the 11th Doctor, I changed my mind as it seemed wrong to make it without him.

    Great vid, …
    Great vid, brilliantly put together, but I still think Paul McGann got the shaft in that awful 90’s TV movie. And the modern Doctor Who really bugs me for a number of reasons, not least that it’s darker and edgier and grimmer and grittier and hotter and sexier and it looks like an American TV show now. Plus we never see how Paul McGann regenerates into Chris Eccleston.

    Much of what you …
    Much of what you say is true but, while hardly an expert on Who, I think that the regeneration limit of 12 is more than an implication. It’s been specifically stated by the Doctor and others through the series. What is clear is that it is possible to circumvent the limit, as the Master has done. So, yes, the writers won’t have to work too hard to get round it when the 13th Doctor “dies”. Still, I hope they make it a convincing plot reason rather than just glossing over it.

    And waht about the Valeyard from Trial of a Time Lord who is one of the Doctor’s incarnations somewhere between his TWELFTH and FINAL incarnations? If the writers wanted they could easily get rid of the regeneration limit. After all it was only IMPLIED that Time Lords had regeneration limits. Or at least that’s what I’ve gathered from reading about. I could be wrong. But my point stands that the writers could EASILY get rid of the regen limit if they really wanted too.

    Not exactly – a Time Lord can only regenerate 12 times. David Tennant is the 10th Doctor and Matt Smith will be the 11th…
