The first title sequence consisted of a simple "howlround" effect over the stark original arrangement of the Doctor Who theme. The current title sequence introduced in The Ghost Monument removes both the Doctor's face and the TARDIS entirely and shows a new version of the Time Vortex. The title sequence which was introduced in Deep Breath also includes the Doctor's face, although it mainly focuses on the eyes. However, the 2012 Christmas Special, The Snowmen, introduced a new title sequence which the Doctor's face was integrated into. This same general format was retained when Doctor Who returned to television in 2005 with the addition of the TARDIS flying through the Time Vortex, although some fans bemoaned the loss of the Doctor's face from the sequence and created their own for video sharing services such as YouTube.

The 1996 TV movie eliminated the use of the Doctor's face in the title sequence (although it did use an extreme close-up of the Master's eyes instead), instead introducing the practice of crediting the lead actors over the opening theme - something that was never done in the 1963-89 series. ( TV: An Unearthly Child, Doctor Who, Utopia, The Pandorica Opens, Hide). John Nathan-Turner's radical redesign of the title sequence completely eliminated the time vortex, and replaced it with a representation of space that was never seen in that way within the body of episodes - mainly because the visual effect of space was far more expensive than the production team could afford on a weekly basis.īy contrast, the title sequences used during the Hartnell era, the McGann telemovie, and the whole of the BBC Wales era, were not abstractions, but showed the time vortex in a way that was used within the body of stories themselves. However, the presence of the head - or in the case of Season 11, the body - of the Doctor during the Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker eras rendered the title sequences more abstract. ( DOC: Origins)įrom 1967-1989, the title sequence included a shot of the current Doctor's head floating either through space or the time vortex. ( DOC: Origins) According to one account, the performer was Jim Stephens, but according to another, that would be Production Assistant Tony Halfpenny. The 1963 - 1967 version of the programme titles did not feature an image of the Doctor, although the idea was attempted with a performer but Verity Lambert deemed it too scary. Changes to the title sequence can be rigorously scrutinised by fans, who may be interested in such minutiae as the font used in the title cards or even relatively minor variations in the theme music. Historically, the title sequence has been of great interest to Doctor Who fans, especially when it has been overhauled, as at the beginning of a new actor's tenure as the Doctor, or simply when a producer decided to do so.
