that is rather overstating the case, and though the theme tune divided people on here at the time, many of those not keen initially came round to it to varying degrees.
they have changed them every year since new who started
If they have it's very small changes. Watching ep 1 titles from all four rtd years right now and change from 1 to 2 owing to bigger budget and orchestra availability, 2,3 & 4 sound pretty much the same to me. The end credits changed, I think because of the shorter credits sequence, but thought ten had the same (or near as makes no difference) opening credits music for his run.
Hope not. I love the Moffat era theme. It's fantastic. I know Murray Gold develops on his themes each series, and I expect that for this too, but I hope they don't radically change it.
i love the new theme tune so they don't need to chnage it, the only thing i think that needs changing is the opening sequence with the time vortex, its looks cheap and tacky and something that they made in 5 mins , i don't no why they dont use the one they use as the background on the website
not sure, there was a huge backlash at the time that people weren't totally happy with the new theme, but they did like the new title sequence.
Funnily enough, I like the current version of the theme, but am not a fan of the current visuals in the titles. It was a little bit too much of a leap for me to accept the change from a "swirling energy" look, which we've had for so long now, to the look of clouds and lightning. The fire at the end I can accept though.
yes, though i have heard different things in relation to the christmasy credits though, some people seem to think they were no different, so I imagine whatever it is that makes them christmasy is pretty minimal if many didn't notice it. Cool news about Arthur though.
I seem to recall that the Christmas episode Voyage of The Damned was the first radical change to the theme (heavier drum beats, piano and guitar more prominent etc).
I liked that one
I hope we do get a rework of the theme soon, featuring a return of the middle eight! It wouldn't really even need a rework - they made a Moffat version with the middle eight and have it on the soundtrack, they just don't broadcast it

I don't see why they should use the middle 8 just because just has been used typically. Surely the whole point was that they wanted it to be a little different.

It would be nice to hear it on the end credits, but I do seem to recall Murray Gold saying he wasn't that big a fan of it..could be wrong.

I'd like to hear it return just cos I like it. It's the heroic bit.

Anyway, the latest theme and titles have grown on me. Silly to chop and change all the time, especially with all the merchandising issues it causes

Overdub some sleighbells.

Even thought the quality is poor you can see theres not much difference. The only change will be the addition of Arthur's name in it.
agreed, looks much the same to me from that brief glimpse.
At the preview screening, during the Q&A, someone suggested that

People having a bit of a moan on a forum doesn't equal a huge backlash.
Maybe they could be added to for the final transmission - as has happened before. Although the

Thanks for that! Love the hats.
it's very interesting, i imagine they are looking to capitalise on the success of the last two soundtracks.
