Ngl this was a really stupid decision but it's definitely an interesting piece of Doctor Who history

Gotta' love how Sarah Jane just farted out the stars exploding there at the end

I mean you would too. 😂

"I know that although the Daleks will create havoc and destruction for millions of years, I know also that out of their evil must come something good." And then the incarnation that actually used this title sequence blew their planet up.

This is _spectacularly_ ill-conceived, and even more ill-executed. I love it.

What the actual f**k! 😂😂 They went to the trouble of sourcing clean titles and credits to then not actually implement the captions the way they're supposed to look with them, whilst Sylvester McCoy's face still briefly appears before they badly key in Tom Baker. Meanwhile the end credits are copied so faithfully that Bernard Lodge still gets credited for the original title sequence that has been taken out in this repackage!

This is even more poorly made than I could have ever imagined. Thanks for sharing it.

I love how cheesy/rare this is.

Weird, but brilliant (especially when they superimpose Tom's title onto Sylvester's face)

I remember this. Superchannel showed compilation versions of this, Ark In Space and Revenge of The Cybermen and called them films, which they justified by editing in the Sylvestor titles.

Title sequence BERNARD LODGE. Sure.

They meant for toms titles

Thanks for this! Fascinating :)

I wonder if this is why Harry Sullivan is traveling with 7 now in Big Finish… Someone saw these omnibuses and decided to make it more official.

the shortest doctor who episode

Very odd indeed. I suspect that they wanted to use the then current titles but they really didn't have to.

Alternate Video Title: Doctor Who - "Genesis of the Daleks Intro and Outro, but it's broadcast in 1987"

Beautiful

Why was such an odd title sequence made?

@@jamesc-v6243 I think this was their way of appealing to a new audience. Bad move.

Oh wow this really is a thing isn’t it

I remember reading about these versions and thinking how cool it sounded. Now seeing an example I realise it was SHYTE, of the shittiest kind.

Sure someone recreated this a few years back on here can't seem to find it now though

1987 was a rotten year for me I was 18 years old and out of dreaded school but I did not have a proper decent job with a proper reasonable wage

Did this pretty much on the cheap.

You mean the spent ACTUAL MONEY on this crap? 🤣

I know that the ABC here in Oz occasionally stuffed things up relating to WHO (mixed up episode orders n stuff... censors butchered some stories...) but this takes the cake! :) In the later 1980's, so - similar time period - the ABC showed omnibus edits too for I believe most of Tom's run, but they didn't broadcast them like that! Just had the original opening title, and maybe a modified end title to capture all appropriate actors etc... Maybe not...

Epic! You're Great. See Ya :3

Oh for Heaven sake 😂

Did you find this on BroaDWcast?

Not "least" ... It's just "weird!" 🤣

The closing titles are relatively inoffensive, but the keyframing of Tom Baker over Sylvester McCoy's face is extremely sloppy. Still a weird decision to include the late 80s titles over a mid-70s story, but not really worth the rather strong reactions from some of the comments. Is it a bad idea? Yes. Is it out of place? Yes. Did it cause the downfall of the show? No!

Did they do the same thing for the repeat of Revenge they tag at the end?

0:33 That's Sylvester

Why?

And exactly WHO'S (no pun intended) brainwave was it, to graft Sylvester McCoy's title sequence on to "Genesis Of The Daleks" from 12 years earlier? ... I hope that whoever was responsible was sacked, and sent to prison for crimes against Doctor Who?

This is so fucking weird to watch. Like some alternate universe where Tom Baker's era lasted through all of the 80's. I like it though! 👌 😆
