the piano from the movie version is back

i love the added piano stroke at 0:21
it's subtle but it adds so much

[AuroraButterflyx]

When I first heard it was pretty overwhelming but as time goes it becomes so much better. It was amazing to finally hear it in an episode and it flowed so well in the opening scenes. I also appreciate them putting the full theme at the end as well

[kaitlynreynolds]

I love this. It hits all the right spots in my brain, especially the woodwind flourishes and the piano

We have 39 years until doctor who is 100 in 2063

This is the second time they brought back an old logo design. The first time was in the 1996 movie where they used the 3rd Doctor's logo design.

[elliotbutler]

Honestly the new theme, intro. & logo are some of the best they’ve had

[willandwillstudios]

Really like the mix here where it has a playful yet adventurous tone like the first 11th Doctor theme

i don't like how short the intro is, but i absolutely predicted david's theme coming back

[johnunderwood-hprj]

I have just finished all of the new specials on Disney +. I can't wait for May to actually see the new season. Love the new theme and intro. I first saw Dr Who in 1985 and haven't been able to get enough.

[redwallfan]

I dont know why but does anyone else hear the beat going a bit like a ticking clock?

The best doctor: 9th. Christopher Eccleston.

[GogReviews]

Love the orchestral version. Can’t get my head around the weird breathing effect that drowns the music on the TV version. Hope they sort it out.

[nikohatbot]

god the chanting is actually really growing on me

[nurbxam]

i absolutely love the dr who theme all of em', but when i heard the series 5 version for the first time i knew that the series 4 version was gonna stay my favorite.... and then i heard this version... this version is by far the best sound and visual wise. i have nothing else to say about it, words can never and will never do this song justice. if you paused the song first thing to read the comments listen to it.

There are two things I always fear every time a new arrangement of the Doctor Who theme comes out and they are
1. It won’t be as good as before
2. They leave out the middle eight
Thankfully this one does neither

0:56 This part is my favorite because of not only the instruments itself but also the vocals in the backround.

[limdennis]

The theme music sounds like the classic doctor who theme music(mostly 6th-8th doctor's) mixed with modern doctor who theme music(mostly 9th & 10th doctor's)

[LaeLae]

I feel like no one else can hear the original ‘63 audio in this song
