![]() Like its predecessor, it moves towards the back of the image. The Doctor's face is now incorporated into the sequence: a closeup of a smiling Patrick Troughton which breaks apart to reveal a redesigned logo. This is the first to truly illustrate the time vortex effect. Second Doctor Title Sequence - Doctor Who - BBCĪ more active "howl-around" effect is employed in the second title sequence. The original title sequence was filmed by Bernard Lodge, Hugh Sheppard and Norman Taylor. The title and writer of the episode is superimposed over this scene, except The War Machines and The Tenth Planet experimented with specialised title cards for the episodes. ![]() The logo then moves into the distance as the sequence cross-fades into the first scene of the episode. The logo was mixed into the image in such a way that the title momentarily looks like DOCTOR OWO or DOCTOR QHO. The first title sequence consisted of a simple "howl-around" effect over the stark original arrangement of the Doctor Who theme. John Nathan-Turner's radical redesign of the title sequence completely eliminated the time vortex, and replaced it with a representation of space that was never seen in that way within the body of episodes - mainly because the visual effect of space was far more expensive than the production team could afford on a weekly basis. However, the presence of the head - or in the case of Season 11, the body - of the Doctor during the Troughton, Pertwee and Tom Baker eras eras rendered the title sequences more abstract. The 1963-1967 version of the programme titles did not feature an image of the Doctor, but from 1967-TBD, the title sequence included a shot of the current Doctor's head floating either through space or the time vortex. Changes to the title sequence can be rigorously scrutinised by fans, who may be interested in such minutiae as the font used in the title cards or even relatively minor variations in the theme music. ![]() Historically, the title sequence has been of great interest to Doctor Who fans, especially when it has been overhauled, as at the beginning of a new actor's tenure as the Doctor, or simply when a producer decided to do so.
