Doctor Who has been around for a long time and has had many, many intros across it’s over 60 year long history, some good, some not so much. Some had great music and bad visuals, some had bad visuals and some great music. Some were divisive and some are universally beloved.
But what’s your favourite?
What’s your least favourite?
And which one do you constantly forget about?
I’ll just post my own thoughts down here:
Personally, I love Eleven’s first intro for the music and visuals - it looks great and is probably my favourite rendition of the title score, with all the low bellows and strings mixed with a nice dose of sci-fi beats.
And a recent discovery for me, the War Master’s from the audio boxsets, though obviously lacking in visuals, is a stellar score that you can really visualise your own intro to.
If I had to pick a worst, it would actually be Eleven’s second title sequence. Way too CG and the whole blood vessel look was a choice. I do like the kinetic movement of the camera however.
I love the original. Or the first Third Doctor one.
The Thirteenth Doctor’s is my absolute favorite. It’s the perfect modernization of the original concept, looking and sounding very otherwordly. Shame it was attached to such a mid era though.
I always get so hyped and excited whenever I hear that Big Finish Torchwood theme. Immediate serotonin.
11’s second title sequence is absolutely the worst
Despite my feelings towards Miracle Day, I really like that title sequence
My two favourites are:
4th Doctor Diamond Logo Time Tunnel:
12th Doctor:
Both fairly simple, but they both just really work for me 
I personally can’t stand the Miracle Day opening, I thought the previous iterations were much stronger
My favourite opening overall absolutely has to be 8’s original Big Finish theme. I think it really fits what 8’s stories were like, especially around the time of Chimes and Scherzo
I also love 12’s opening, and especially the version used in Before The Flood. The guitar version should have stuck around for much longer
The first is really the best in some ways, being the one everything else is based on. I’m fond of a lot of classic’s title sequences, and, honestly, I have a soft spot for the later ones…
Oh I love 7’s titles
Yeah. I actually kind of wish there was more of that in modern who, though I also did like 13’s title sequences a lot.
My absolute favourite as of right now is 3’s Season 11 sequence it is glorious, the only downside being the full body pertwee but I honestly don’t mind it
I’m not sure what my least favourite would be I don’t really dislike any of them, maybe 14/15’s to be honest
11’s first titles are a definite favourite. They look cool and they take a slightly different stance to the theme tune as well.
My all-time favourite rendition of the theme tune is the late Tennant one, the rock version. It always brings shivers down my spine and I get so hyped up by it.
An honourable mention of the TV Movie theme tune. I love an orchestral rendition of the Doctor Who theme and that movie does it perfectly!
My least favourite is McCoy’s titles. So ugly and dated and '90s (even though they are from the late 80s).
My absolute favorite: the very first. Simple, elegant, wow.
But I do love most of them. I guess many of the later classic ones somewhat lack for me in hindsight.
I very much liked the 13th doctor’s realistic space-time distortion effect. But I also enjoyed the abstract ‘watch dial’ (I’ve had difficulties finding the proper English translation, in German it’s ‘Zifferblatt’) effect of the 12th.
Just different, not better or worse, imho.
I absolutely adore the 80’s theme, especially Colin Baker’s (season 23)
I’m honestly really obsessed with the new ones. I also liked thirteen era’s a lot, but at this point my enjoyment of the credits is dampened by how let down I feel by the era itself.
Hands down this is my favourite:
I do think this might the best, most consistent part of the whole show.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s my favourite, but I’ve been watching Daleks! and I really love the title sequence. It perfectly fits the Daleks and makes them seem threatening. The music fits perfectly.
And, again not my favourite, but I feel like I have to defend the eleventh Doctor second intro a bit. Loved that it brought back the face in the title sequence!
Definitely the best intro for a K9 show.
Mind you the competition is this:
Thing is, I’m not even joking. It’s a great title sequence and the theme is huge fun.
