Would you like the 50th anniversary show to use the original theme music ?

ok , we all have various things we'd like to see in the 50th anniversary epsiode , but most of em aint gonna happen 'cos we're not writing it .
But there's one thing I'd love and think would be so appropriate - using the original theme tune .
over the years the production values have gone up , but the one thing that certainly isn't as good is the theme tune , constant re-arrangements have not improved it .
the original is so much more effective , really creepy actually .
what do you think ?

No, no, no. What a cacophony that was. An overblown, bombastic mess.
Just keep the current one. It follows on from recent ones, with nods to the past.
I suppose most of us are assuming it will told from 11's PoV, but there is a possibilty it's told from another Doctor's PoV, with 11 appearing as a future Doctor. No doubt 11 will be the centre of the story (what an insult it would be to Matt if he's not) but the story could begin as if it was a story from another Doctor's era. I think it would make a fun teaser.
It could start with 1 being kidnapped or something even earlier from his timeline...
I think the theme tunes have gone downhill from then IMO.
I doubt it would happen but I would like to hear it in the 50th.
Maybe have a mixture of the 2 or even a brand new one
This is the original version:

Good shout BTW OP, the original remains my favourite.
This. CE's one is my favourite.
Compare the current one to that, and it sounds so cheap!
Certainly not that Matt Smith and Orbital version. :eek:
Either the original theme, the current theme or this great version:-

Yeah, I know!
It's like they're trying deliberately to make it sound more and more cheap every new series!
In what way does the current one sound cheap?
I was going to suggest something similar, then I noticed your post. The original theme could work in that context.
It's now like something you used to get on a "Geoff Love and his Orchestra Murders Popular TV Theme Tunes" album
