  Can't see the poll but I'm assuming there is a delay before it appears.
  
  Is it a straight forward like/don't like or is it more like, like music hate titles, like both, like neither, like titles hate music?
  
  EDIT:
  
  right second time
  
  too much energy - not enough to do today

  Love and Hate are too polar for my opinion on these titles.
  
  I dislike them both, but both have some great elements.

  Likewise. Perhaps there should be a "not overly impressed" option for both?

  None of the options really fit for me.
  
  
  Titles are good but after seeing the original fan version last year they didn't have the Wow factor they would have had if Saturday had been the first time I saw them.
  
  
  
  Don't like the theme tune.
  
  Then again I didn't like the Series 5 Theme at the start either but after a couple of weeks it stopped annoying me and by the end of the series I quite liked it. Maybe this one will be the same.

  I'm in the unusual position of being the misery guts here as I disliked both the theme and titles. The visuals in particular where very clunky and too busy.
  
  Not the end of the world though, doesn't really impact on my enjoyment of the show in any way.

  Really like the new titles, but the theme is just boring.
  That said, I think it starts well with a powerful beat... then just becomes boring.

  LOVED the titles - they imply Time & Space, basically! A quick shot of the Doctor's evil-looking eyes (don't know if that's a good thing!). The Logo was just basic, and the Tardis whizzing around so much is a bit in your face!! But yeah OK!
  
  The music, however, was atrocious!!! (IMO) Ohhh how it reminded me of when they changed it in McCoys era!! WHY couldn't they retain that original howling opening from the very beginning - which they still used in Tennant's Era too! Oooh very bad!! And they have completely removed the infamous 'STING' at the end of episode :o
  
  I'm loving this series...don't get me wrong. But Peter Capaldi deserves better than this!!

  I absollutely adore the title sequence - probably my favourite since Pertwee's last season.
  
  As for the music - I've seen a lot of vitriol aimed at it online, but to be honest... I can't really remember it. Which probably says it all, actually...

  the theme tune is absolutely awful, and im struggling to imagine how any fan could possibly like it.

  I really don't like the titles. Moffat says it's the first different take on them since 1963 (or something along those lines...). I think he's stretching it, but I get the point and therein lies the problem for me. Far too self referential. As I said in a previous thread, you can imagine a hail of question marks shooting towards the screen.
  
  Not keen on the music either. Sounds like something I would knock out on my sister's Casio keyboard in 1982.

  Im the same. Think both are rubbish, but as long as the episodes are good I couldn't care less.
  
  They could have a bloke holding up a piece of paper with the words 'doctor who' scrawled on it as the starting as long as the episodes were good.

  Hated the music. It's an awful tinny arrangement.
  
  I voted 'hate' on the titles simply because they a) made me feel motion sick in the way the old vortex never has and b) looked a little bit cheap with the clock effect at the start.

  Dislike them both. The titles appear amateurish, slow and lack any exciting build up to the upcoming episode. This isn't helped by the horrible theme tune and no strong sting in the opening.

  Theme music needs a bit of Bass, it's just feeble, titles are okay but nothing special.

  I like both. The new titles are good, and the new version of the theme tune is pretty suited to Capaldi - designed to keep you on edge and not really too comfortable.

  I cant actually vote on this one as my feelings fall somewhere in the middle!
  The OP should have created separate threads for each thing, the Titles and the Music and then give 5 options with love it as top hate it as bottom with varying degrees between and a nether like or hate option.
  
  I would say I like the titles, but if we say on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being top then for me the titles are 4.
  I would say a 3 if the same 1-5 scale was used for how much I like or dislike the music.
  
  This does not fit in any way with the OPs choices can he or the mods sort something out please?
  
  I suppose it could be done in one thread with 25 options
  
  1 very like music and titles
  2 very like music, but only like titles
  3 very like music, but nether like or dislike titles
  4 very like music, but dislike titles
  5 very like music, but very dislike titles
  6 like music, but very like titles
  7 like music and like titles
  8 like music, but nether like or dislike titles
  9 like music, but dislike titles
  10 like music, but very dislike titles
  11 nether like or dislike music, but very like titles
  12 nether like or dislike music, but like titles
  13 nether like or dislike music and titles
  14 nether like or dislike music, but dislike titles
  15 nether like or dislike music, but very dislike titles
  16 dislike music, but very like titles
  17 dislike music, but like titles
  18 dislike music, but nether like or dislike titles
  19 dislike music and titles
  20 dislike music, but very dislike titles
  21 very dislike music, but very like titles
  22 very dislike music, but only like titles
  23 very dislike music, but nether like or dislike titles
  24 very dislike music, but dislike titles
  25 very dislike music and titles
  
  It seems long winded but you cant offer less than that to give people a fair option for voting on both issues at once!
  
  Mine is number 12 BTW!.
  
  Oh and Ive created my own version here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2003071 with my 25 options!

  I voted Love the titles, hate the theme but I don't exactly mind the new titles but I wouldn't say I loved them and I think the theme is a bit too christmas like with the bells but I wouldn't say I hate it.

  The titles are ok and make a nice change so I voted 'love them' (even though I don't, I just think they're interesting and make a change).
  
  The theme I do hate though.

  Even the traditional "STING" sound might have improved it! But that theme needs 'jushing up ' a bit like Tennants theme in Series 4 !!
  The titles were fine in my eyes! Music is crap!

  titles are beautiful, they look much better on TV then on the cinema screen, but the theme tune (whilst it has its good moments) for me isn't up to scratch... yet...

  I have an amp and there was no bass at all. Nothing.
