The New Theme Tune And Titles

Loved the first episode, has to be my favourite since TEOT. However, the new theme tune is absolutely horrendous. It sounds like someone attempted the theme on a kazoo. In my opinion there hasn't been a good theme since Jan 2010. The 2008-2010 theme built up excitement with its thumping sound however the new one just seems like a parody of its former self.
The titles aren't too bad however the Tardis looks almost cartoon like and I really dislike the time vortex, for some reason they are focusing the TIME vortex on space with all the planets floating around.
As I said I loved the episode and Capaldi could just debunk 9 as my 2nd favourite Doctor. However the titles and theme are one of the first things viewers are met with and they seem a bit cheap and tacky. I prefer Neon Visuals titles if I'm honest.

Same I think what you have written is fair 100% and on the Neon Visuals they are much better quality
My only complaint really is the planets during the time vortex bit of the animation.
Liking the new theme too.
I don't particularly like it at the moment however there's a bit where the synth sort of fizzes/flares up at the end which is pretty cool
Lmao, big ego or what.
The visuals were okay but made me oddly motion sick which wasn't pleasant.
My only complaint was that the credits seems to go by too fast. It needed another ten seconds or so. It just seemed a bit rushed, but I liked both the visuals and the theme.
I agree the theme needs extra oomph to it especially the last bit it kind of fades off weirdly, very flat!
OOF then that awful music!!! I hope they can re-do it soon. (Like they did with Jon Pertwee's theme in Carnival of Monsters!!) IT IS AWFUL!!!
I love Peter and Jenna anyway!!!:)
The titles, I thought, were excellent! Not so sure about the theme, though. Have just downloaded the theme as an mp3, to use on my cell phone as a ringtone.
Anyway, so looking forward to next Saturday.
Have been re-watching every "Nu-Who" Dalek story recently on DVD, cos I knew that the Daleks would be back this series. I also re-watched the three Jon Pertwee Dalek stories too! :cool:
As Steven Moffatt said recently, "You're not the Doctor properly, until you've faced the Daleks!"
I think some elements of his submission to BBC Wales work better. Like the episode title screen at the end with the purple smoke looks much better than the one used.
Those titles are a million times better and more quality that the actual ones. They should employ neon visual to do them all from now on
Where is the ear piercing WHEEEEEEEEEEE at the very start?
However the new version is just terrible and the opening credits was very underwhelming after all the build up.
Add in a terrible story, an irritating Doctor, and the episode was only saved by Matt Smith's appearance.
The titles are a bit too cartoony-looking for me. I think the original guy would have done a much better job. Not sure I buy the bit about the BBC team having to redo them so they could be more flexible with them in future, the creator could have surely have given them all the component parts as well as the full edit. More like they didn't want to lose control or look obsolete or inept more like I should think!
While I agree the guy does have more than his share of brass neck - and isn't well thought of in a lot of places - I actually like that one of his and prefer to it to what we got.
