The theme for the 2005-2007 sequence is also out of sync, in every episode except Rose. There's a little buzz sound that's supposed to play as the light on the TARDIS pulses halfway through the sequence, but it's ever so slightly off in every episode that has a cold open.

I assume you mean when the sting ends during Rose's title sequence that's where you think the graphics should start for every subsequent episode with a cold open? You're probably right, but personally I think it works best "out of sync" as that sound effect when the TARDIS changes vortex works better as it flies off down the red vortex. It kind of feels out of place during Rose. The problem is by making it "in sync" as you say, like in Rose, the graphics are then out of sync with the rest of the music, as the music goes with the TARDIS' movements in the subsequent episode title sequences. Obviously, the production crew must have noticed this as well, hence why they never put it "in sync" again, even going as far as to cut down the graphics to ensure this during Smith and Jones to avoid the same thing happening again (even though it did, the other way, in Partners in Crime a year later).

On several 1960s episodes and possibly into the Pertwee era, a stretched source tape was used for the theme music, so if you hear a pre-restoration version (on an old VHS release, say) the theme on some episodes is badly out of tune. And then there's the faded pale green version of the time tunnel as used on (IIRC) The Ark In Space.

@DoctorVision

@@dexterhill5843 The reason why no one makes an issue of the Series 1-3 theme being out of sync is that they only did it "correctly" in Rose and then used the supposedly "out of sync" version almost consistently from thereafter. So, it's not very obvious except to die-hard fans. Hell, even Series 4 titles' synchronisation with the theme tune changed every week, but they got away with that because the theme just seemed to match with the titles whichever way it was played out, except perhaps with Partners in Crime, plus they had the extended graphics to compensate with, which many of the future title sequences didn't have. Whereas, with Capaldi's titles, even casual fans can pick up on the titles being out of sync because they were consistent for about half of Series 8 then they started being messed with. Plus, there's a lot more SFX in the theme that are designed to sync with parts of the titles making it stick out even more.

I agree! The Tom Baker/Peter Davison/Colin Baker title sequences (1980 - 1986) were by far the best with the best arrangements of the theme tune. If asked to pinpoint favourite theme from these era, I'd have to say Dominic Glynns' arrangement for 1986s season 23 'The Trial Of A Time Lord'. Superb.

My favorite is actually thirteen's. It's so modern yet remeniscent of old who-- so much so, that it gave me the impression that the storylines would be going in a similar direction. i was very wrong.

That first doctor's opening sequence gave me the chills when I was a kid.

I actually prefer the series 7b titles to the other Smith ones. I just think it’s so much more original and actually reminiscent of what the show is about. Rather than the dark and dreary clouds of the others. Also I’d say that the 7th doctor sequence is one of the most interesting and entertaining to watch. Much more so than the other 8s version in my opinion. But all of them are great

Definetly, please do a logo ranking! Also have you considered doing a ranking video of the internal TARDIS design or layout from worst to best?

So glad Eccleston/Tennant's intro was number one because that's my absolute favorite, the one I always get nostalgic for since it's the one I grew up on. And especially since I didn't know about the whole regeneration plot point and how we seemed to just stop watching it after a while, it was THE Doctor Who intro to me and it feels more "real" I guess

Bruh you put my favorite at the bottom it was basically a mash of all the classic themes

Personally I think the new intro is the biggest highlight of the Chibnil era, very reminiscent of the 1st doctors title sequence

I would absolutely love a music ranking list!!

The movie/8th doctor title sequence is my favourite of them all.

Okay, you know you have to do a theme tune ranking. it's not optional.

Excellent choice for number 1! Matt Smith's first version of the intro will always be my favourite because I love how the Tardis gets thrown around and the upbeat music for it too. Really captures the chaos that the Doctor brings order to.

Interesting choices. My own rankings would be very different to yours, Rich, which is odd as our opinions usually align pretty closely. I'll concede to you on points of technical proficiency as far as the Series 7 Part 2 sequence goes (to my untrained eyes it looked several steps UP in quality from its immediate predecessors so shows what I know!) but stylistically it's easily one of my favourites. The way it harks back to the earliest versions with swirling, shifting, cloudy shapes, albeit lacking symmetry, while crackling and fizzing between various organic and astral forms, the Matt Smith face as you noted; I felt it encapsulated the feeling of the show much more than the bizarre, simplistic, lightning storm vortex that came before it. I so utterly adore the current opening sequence that I think I might just have to call it my overall favourite! I'm torn between the original sequence, the 2005-09 sequence and the 2013 Series 7 sequences for 2nd place. I'd probably rank the Series 5 and 6 sequence dead last. It was so... goofy! Still, we each prefer what we each prefer and that's fine. I am curious to know how you'd rank the theme music arrangements!

7:47 "The much higher production value seen throughout the Chibnall Era" I nearly spat my drink out xD

I prefered the series 6 's title sequence over the series 1-4 because i love the transition from the DW letters to the tardis model, and i also think that the 3d names of Eccleston, Tennant and their companion looked weird when the camera passes by

1:46 I feel like the problem with this isn't just the lighting, it's the animation. What would've been really cool is if the tardis just kept flying full speed towards the screen and the door opened as it reached us, but no the tardis just completely stops and then the door opens, there's no excitement in it

I think my favourite bit about the Eccleston/Tennant sequence might be the TARDIS slowing down as it takes centre screen and prepares to enter the next vortex. Lovely!

What really makes a good television series title sequence is the music. What ever you think, because the music has the greater power, over the sequence than the visuals. This is nit picking. Exterminate.....😆 I love them all equally, title sequence, music and all the Doctors, probably because I'm 59, and have watched it since it began, having seen most of the stories. ❤️

Good video, keep up with the good work mate!

13's title sequence is one of my favourites to be honest. So is 12's.

Marks down 7B for being full of nebulae but gives Jodies intro points despite just looking like someone just CGI-ing water into random patterns because it has a vague reminiscence of the originals. Not a fan of either tbh. I have to admit to having a serious soft spot for McCoy’s intro but that might be coz that’s the one I have the most nostalgia for. Theme tune-wise, I actually think my favourite rendition is the movie one

Oh how happy we all are that the Diamond Logo is back for the show going forward

Did anyone notice in the S7p2 intro at the end the doors opened the wrong way....

The Capaldi titles being out-of-sync so often is one of the best things about that (already amazing) title sequence. Adds some mystery to every episode: how out-of-sync will the titles be today?

I think the Thirteenth Doctor intro was what Moffat was trying to go for with Smith’s Series 7b intro but didn’t pull it off as well.

One year later, and I think the new titles might be the best now. It righted the wrongs of both Whittaker’s run and the second half of Smith’s Series 7, and is probably the best Murray Gold intro composition with the possible exception of the Voyage of the Damned-onwards intro.

A detail you forgot to mention was the 13th doctors title sequence was produced by John Smith VFX you referenced before

I feel like I'm one of the only people in the world who thinks that Smith's first intro is the best one. The Eccleston/Tennant Era intro is a close second but nothing gets me more hyped up than that intro

Hence why the ninth/tenth doctor's theme tune is my ringtone 👍

When he was talking about Jodie Whittaker’s theme he said, “Sega something’s take on the theme is a little bit more” cue ad for dog food “powered by nature” as the tagline.

Patrick Troughton's is my favorite opening and theme tune, with "The Trial of a Timelord" theme by Dominc Glynn being my favorite update of the Doctor Who tune.

I like that 7b and Whittaker’s era both tried to harken back to the classic intros. 7b reminds me of the early 80s, while series 10-13 goes all the way back to the howlaround of the 60s
