The since released devil's chord features a scene in which the maestro plays the beginning of the theme on a piano which transitions into the proper theme and opening titles.
another fun fact about the Death in Heaven titles is that unlike the rest of the title sequences where Capaldi's name appears first, it's Jenna Coleman's name that appears first
@@mohzayd1234 I know Capaldi can play, I know he used to be a punk band with Craig Ferguson, I'm very aware and have been for a long time, but that wasn't at all my question was it?
technically just about every Capaldi ep has a one-off title sequence, only one or two are actually synced with the music and sound effects correctly, most are offset by different amounts so the music or intro has to be cut short because the cold opens are written to use the first stinger before the intro video actually starts
@@DrWhoFanJ yes there is?.. it’s from the asylum of the daleks to angles take manhattan, then there was a break because of the London Olympics, the snowmen was on Christmas Day 2012 and then season 7b was from the bells of St John in 2013, the 50th anniversary year
Kim Jong-il famously called one of his cruise missiles "an ambassador of death." Gallifrey Base made hay of this, wondering if he wasn't secretly a Doctor Who fan. Someone piped up, "If he were, he'd call it 'An ambassador--TWAAAAANG!--of death.'"
Say what you will about the quality of 13’s stories, I’ve always been fascinated by how the ‘Flux’ subtitle breaks apart, as if it was touched by those two people whose names I don’t remember.
7:04 another one off for Death in Heaven, Jenna Coleman's name is displayed first. Normally in the titles, the actor playing The Doctor is listed first, then the companion. This is playing into Clara's lie during the opening to the Cyberman, that SHE is The Doctor.
I'm surprised Voyage of the Damned wasn't included as that was an example of the same titles being used but an updated theme, considering it was a one-off, unless copyright prevented you using it. Same with Dreamland and The Infinite Quest, they had heavily modified titles - the latter even had an animated TARDIS made for the occasion.
Shouldn’t The Massacre, The Highlanders, The Wheel in Space, The Seeds of Death & The Space Pirates also be here? Those feature exclusive title reveals as well? (Well, The Highlanders one is just bagpipe music over the story titles, but it does that with all 4 episodes)
Yes "The Church on Ruby Road" is a one-off title sequence because it uses the same visuals as the 60th anniversary specials but with Gatwa and Gibson. The season 14 title sequence are have been modified slightly
I remember when I first watched war games I was majorly jumpscared. Saying that, MAN is it cool. Thank you whoob, you always dropping some lovely ass content.
There was also the Wheel in Space that had a different title thing showing the Wheel behind the Titles, And I think if I remember correctly the space pirates had its own title thing. The Seeds of death had its own sequence which at the end of the sequence it would zoom in the moon if we last left off on the moon or on the earth if we last left off on the earth. Or In Space If your trapped on a rocket about to fly endlessly through space. There was also some parts of the Green death where it had the credits upside down, but thats credits not title sequences. I think There are a few other Baker stories with their title sequences miscoloured but I cant remember which ones at the moment. There is also The Five doctors, time and the rani and rememberance of the daleks that all had a sequence that played into the titles but I don't know if that counts for this. Plus the Sort of Zoom Into the eye title sequence from ascension of the cybermen, Reminds me a bit of the key credit sequence from Vampires of venice. Off the Top of my Head That all I can pretty much think of. Idk if any of it is useful.
'60s and early '70s Who: Completely unique title cards, with some uniquely alterations in the titles. Moffat era Who: We have no idea what we are doing, we tried to mend up this bit and now the titles are always out of sync.
From Series 7 to 10 there were always problems. Series 7A is just AWFUL, Series 7B is an inconsistent mess that barely looks like a Vortex, and Capaldi's was cool, but almost always out of synch.
This needs to be updated with the 60th anniversary title theme, the updated version from series 14 (new series 1) and the piano theme from The Devil’s Chord episode of Series 14
The Ambassadors of Death had a cold open (or recap for later episodes) between the show logo and the episode title, which zoomed in against the backdrop. It was also the first use of the iconic "sting" or something similar iirc.
I want to say how awesome your channel is. Your dedication to finding clips and content related to the best show of all time is insane, and it has inspired me to make videos in a similar style to yours. Keep pumping out more fire content!
This potentially leaves out the Delaware intro for 3 as well as the Voyage of The Damned intro for 10 (which had a slightly different intro sting to the Series 4 opening)
Well, The Massacre had the title captions over a print of 16th century Paris, The Wheel in Space had the title captions over a shot of the Wheel, the end credits to The Web of Fear Episodes 1 - 5 had the credits over film of the pulsating web. Spearhead from Space had the title caption zoom in, Seeds of Death had the title captions over shots of the Earth and the Moon, Space Pirates - white background with a operatic singer while title captions shown, Episode 2 of The Reign of Terror had the title captions over a shot of the guillotine, The Celestial Toymaker 1 - 3 end credits began with a text caption showing the riddle before cutting to the end credits, episode 1 of The Smugglers had the title captions over the title sequence film, The Highlanders had the title captions on screen with the bagpipes playing in the background. Episodes of The Invasion of Time had the theme with middle-8 on a few of the end credits. Logopolis and The Caves of Androzani had modified end credits, The Five Doctors' end credits had both original and Howell versions of the theme, Earthshock Episode 4 had scrolling end credits..
Something about the version of The Ice Warriors with the woman singing/vocalizing/whatever you want to call it is really haunting and yet a part of me likes it even though it creeps me out. I don't know why that kind of chanting or whatever seems to be associated with ice.
OK so this may be the only place where someone might appreciate it... On the VHS version of Carnival of Monsters (Jon pertwee story), there was one episode with an alternate theme, but it was labelled as the Australian version. If anyone has any more info or a link I'd love to see/hear that again
I don't think it's important enough to say you missed it, but at the *end* credits of The Web of Fear, there's added weirdness instead of the usual black screen. Mind you, if it was end credits, you'd also have to include Adric.
The Series 7A titles sequences in 2012 were the most revolting thing Doctor Who has ever churned out, the classic series utilized the alternate titles much better in my opinion.
Hate to be nitpicky but Asylum of the Daleks through to The Angels Take Manhattan titles are not series 5-6, they’re series 7 part 1. I love this compilation tho!
I think they were going for a "transition from Gillan/Darvill to Coleman" kind of style, overlooking that that doesn't work for numerous reasons. One of them being that the change in the Doctor Who logo, removing the DW in the middle, left the transition from that DW to the TARDIS orphaned, so the DW just pops up on screen out of nowhere. And while the unique textures of the logo and title for each episode might have made sense on paper, they're not well realised.
Based on how the title sequences in series 7 get darker every time, and the weirdly large amount of shots in the episodes focused on flickering lights, and the fact moffat was super overworked at the time, I think there's a strong chance it tied into a plot ark that got cut for some reason.

And 73 Yards had no opening titles at all
Devil's Chord was a great episode, I really liked it

Jodie Whittaker had one where a cyberman's head is floating in space & it zooms in to the cyberman's eye & you see the title sequence in it.
That was more of a transitional shot to the titles than an alternative title sequence
@@cameronmonaghan6883 that was actually really cool
That was ascension of the cybermen
@@Surfboarder4 I never said it wasn't
@@cameronmonaghan6883pretty sure they were just commenting they liked it. Not having a go at you.
Fun fact, Capaldi played the guitar for the rock opening
Is that a fact? because I can't find a source on that information.
@@ClintBanditoI think it was in a BTS video where they said that
Think he has released an album called St Christopher 🤔
@@ClintBanditothe reason why 12 has a guitar in series 9 is because capaldi could play and they wanted it to be part of his characters therapy

I am in minority, but I like those 7B logos, mainly because of the ghostly effect that names have when they appear and disappear.

Sorry to hear about all the copyright strikes.
I always wondered if there was a limit to how many times I could listen to the Doctor Who theme tune. Congrats, you found it
There are certain DW theme arrangements I could listen to all day. Only one of them is from classic.
I love the titles for Ambassadors they're so cheesy but also cool as hell
"The Ambassadors... ... ... TO DIE.", to paraphrase Magneto.
Kim Jong-il famously called one of his cruise missiles "an ambassador of death."
Gallifrey Base made hay of this, wondering if he wasn't secretly a Doctor Who fan.
Someone piped up, "If he were, he'd call it 'An ambassador--TWAAAAANG!--of death.'"
I love the opening for The War Machines. It’s so classically 1960s and futuristic.
Say what you will about the quality of 13’s stories, I’ve always been fascinated by how the ‘Flux’ subtitle breaks apart, as if it was touched by those two people whose names I don’t remember.
Swarm and Azure

Season 4 had that revised theme.
@@patrickfurlong4276 There are subtle differences between the S4 & VOTD theme.
@@patrickfurlong4276No, Season 4 had the 1963 theme and the 1967 theme.
Yeah, won't lie there are quite a few you missed. Seeds of Death and The Space Pirates are the ones which immediately jumped out at me.

Looks like, as of yesterday, you gotta add one more

They mean for the devils chord
@@otps8035 Yes that too
Honestly think Devils Chord shouldve been all piano
I remember when I first watched war games I was majorly jumpscared. Saying that, MAN is it cool. Thank you whoob, you always dropping some lovely ass content.
I really wish they'd have kept the version of the theme from "Before The Flood" for the remainder of Peter Capaldi's time as the Doctor.

3:50 It Really Reflects The Time Of The 80s
It was broadcast in 1993, though.
That’s crazy,I never noticed the different series 7a titles. I kinda wish they did that more often

you forgot the Meglos (episode 4?) intro which has the theme tune in the wrong pitch
Oh yeah... Although Wasn't that just the credits for episode 4? I don't think it was for the opening sequence.
It's also on the broadcast version of Keeper Of Traken, though it's playing in the wrong speed as opposed to just being pitched down.
@@404TVfr I take it they fixed it for the Dvd and blu ray since I don't remember it for that one, especially since it's one I watch quite often.
@@cybernovadw5124 They did. But if you watch the continuity announcements for Traken, you can briefly hear it.
Dimensions in Time is almost Eurobeat
out of all the opening sequences, my favorite is, has been and always will be capaldi's.
This potentially leaves out the Delaware intro for 3 as well as the Voyage of The Damned intro for 10 (which had a slightly different intro sting to the Series 4 opening)
Oh, and the opening for The Five Doctors, too
Remembrance of the Daleks episode 1 had a one-off cold open
That War Games title is SO cool
Well, The Massacre had the title captions over a print of 16th century Paris, The Wheel in Space had the title captions over a shot of the Wheel, the end credits to The Web of Fear Episodes 1 - 5 had the credits over film of the pulsating web.

Mind of Evil also had the Troughton theme. When the credits appeared on Colony in Space, the screen is tinted a pink/purple colour.
Voyage of the Damned anyone?
Bitrate didn't like Capaldi's Christmas intros.
You forgot Wheel in Space, Seeds of Death and The Space Pirates.
What about wheel in space, seeds of death and space pirates? 🤔
Thats what I said
On the copyrighted ones...would it not have been possible to replace/remove the audio but keep the visuals?
isn't Haven sent different too because Jenna's credit isn't there.
This video feels like Ice warriors -> Matt Smith -> Peter Capaldi -> Ice warriors -> Matt Smith -> Peter Capaldi
The Infinite Quest & Dreamland's respective intros aren't on here, but still a great video nevertheless 😊
The first half of season 7 was really weird intro-wise
The Ambassadors… OF DEATH
Something about the version of The Ice Warriors with the woman singing/vocalizing/whatever you want to call it is really haunting and yet a part of me likes it even though it creeps me out. I don't know why that kind of chanting or whatever seems to be associated with ice.
And now to cleanse myself of this with the Series Four intro.
The Massacre (completely missing) and the Space Pirates also have title cards
I like what they did for The ambassadors of death introduction
9:35 This is so scary and dark that it makes it seem like this war would be
The 60s ones are fantastic, I would be absolutely all for episodes being titled like that all the time
9:26 Just wanted to say that the Flux titles also have a bit more color than the Series 11 titles.
I wouldn't consider S23 titles to be a "one-off", any more than S11, or Series 7B in NuWho...that's jus the way they were for that season.
But technically they only play for one story.
@@Caroniver_Robocacci but that's still 14 episodes
I never noticed the titles were slightly different for each episode in series 7a before.
OK so this may be the only place where someone might appreciate it...

It's the Delaware theme. It's been released on CD, DVD and BD (with visual accompaniment for the latter two).
@@DrWhoFanJ thank you!
There's also the movie release of Dark Water/Death in Heaven which has a different theme on the titles.
I don't think it's important enough to say you missed it, but at the *end* credits of The Web of Fear, there's added weirdness instead of the usual black screen.
Mind you, if it was end credits, you'd also have to include Adric.
And there's the end credits that were flipped upside down. Green Day I think
4:15 that's my most favorite doctor who logo of all time
I kinda wish we had the classic who styled ones in the modern era, series 7A came close but that was more just instagram filters than anything
brotherrrrrrr, we are both Whooooooos
The Series 7A titles sequences in 2012 were the most revolting thing Doctor Who has ever churned out, the classic series utilized the alternate titles much better in my opinion.
I can't believe those 7A titles made it to air. Look like some crappy fanmade effort that someone knocked up in 5 minutes.
Hate to be nitpicky but Asylum of the Daleks through to The Angels Take Manhattan titles are not series 5-6, they’re series 7 part 1. I love this compilation tho!
They're saying that the intros are the same as the one from series 5 and 6, just coloured differently.
I think you forget "night of the doctor" and "five-ish doctor reboot" intro
We don't mention 'Dimensions In Time'. Ever.
As goofy as the actual thing is, the titles go hard as fuck honestly
I believe you missed out in Series 9 Heaven Sent where only Peter Capaldi’s name appears, as Jenna Coleman obviously wasn’t in it
cool
You also missed Terror of the Zygons!
All of the Series 7 intros were so oversaturated and ugly (imo)

I always thought it was getting darker because it was leading up to the death of the Ponds and it wanted to be forbearing
