Doctor Who - 1970 Theme (including full intro and closing themes) - Delia Derbyshire

This is a full length reconstruction of the 1970 Doctor Who theme using isolated samples from the original 1963 Delia Derbyshire version.
Like the version I did of Peter Howell's 1980 theme, I've included the full opening and closing themes, and incorporated a couple of elements from an occasionally-used version of the end credit music from the late 60s Troughton era, as well as the TARDIS sound effect (which was also included in the "Stereo version" released in 1973)

The 70's were a magical golden era for so many things including Dr. Who. Love all of these theme tunes

[@richardthomas6771]

I had this on 7” Single at the time and played it to death as it just brought so much joy to me. Especially during the 6 months between Seasons that at that aged seemed more like 6 years!

[@OzBaxter]

I love that opening stutter. Much more moody and spooky than the opening sting they've been using since the 80's.

[@richardthomas6771]

The best version for sure and it should still be being used today. The whole point being is it was always meant to be an electronically realised theme. Never bettered IMO.

[@autumnmatthews3179]

One thing that still annoys me is that before he took charge of the return Russell had said he didn't like the theme from the 1996 TV movie because it contained an orchestra. Fast forward to 2005!

[@DeadEyes63]

@@autumnmatthews3179 2005 still has electronic elements its just modernized rather than full orchestra

[@enigmagenesis7341]

This is the first version I remember clearly, as the Pertwee era was when I first started watching the show seriously, though I do recall some Troughton stories.

Some say the Doctor can defeat a Dalek with a handful of jelly-babies and a fez, and he only knows two facts about dating women, and both of them are wrong.

They call him the Stig...

But in the second 60th anniversary special the doctor claimed he couldn't do anything without his sonic screwdriver right after the TARDIS vanished

The Timelords of Gallifrey DO NOT "date women!"

Jon Pertwee was definitely the 'James Bond' of Doctor Who, got love for Tom Baker too.

[@themightybob]

Some say he was the inspiration for the character seeing as he worked with the creator in ww2 as a spy

[@DoIGetTube]

Even the sound effects of Dr. Who's TARDIS de-materializing were included.
A nice touch that.

Howell win hands down for me. Appreciate all of them of course and Delia. What a talent she was. Lovely vid. Ledge for sharing.

[@adamhughes4442]

My sister and I used to hide behind the sofa when this came on. She was 4 and I was 2. It terrified us. Lol. Great memories.

[@GavyLad]

Absolutely rendering of the tune, thank you :)

[@dominiquepilon5910]

ooooweeeeoooooo ooooooweeee yep all of the doctor who opening and closing

[@impossibleego]

I am in love with this mix! Thank you!

[@cuedotfilms4427]

I love what you have done here. Superb.

[@duncankilburn7612]

Like both the original and the Howell versions, Glynn's good too.

[@TheWillHadcroft]

Very nicely done.

[@tracynottage356]

I like it, nice one 👍

[@enigmagenesis7341]

Love it!💯

[@bazzerbill]

This is very close to what Big Finish used on episode 4 of "The One Doctor"

[@H3XGames]

I wish someone would post that “wind up” variant at some point.

[@bazzerbill]

@@H3XGames Id love to just know were it came from. A rejected unused T.V version, or made just for that Big Finnish episode . they had a bit of fun with the delaware version one episod before. It occur to me they could have had all four episodes with a different 3rd Doctor era themes had team they used the Ambassadors of Death l intro on one of the episodes, would have been quite funny.

[@thomashrubecky1663]

As nature intended….

[@marcse7en]

Great balls of fire! ... You mean, as science intended! 👍🤣

[@ember.mp3]

Sounds nice, but what is the font for “Doctor Who” on the thumbnail it looks so retro

[@cunningmunki]

It's called "Barbarella sf" - isn't it gorgeous! Are you a fellow font nerd?

[@ember.mp3]

kind of the font just really caught my attentiom

[@conscienceaginBlackadder]

Is this bits joined together ?

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

A tad too much reverb

[@Bruh-zx2mc]

The bassline doesn't sound good and the fade-to-repeat bit is off the mark.

[@ajc4477]

Very nice!
