Doctor Who Christmas Invasion End Theme

Posted on December 27, 2005December 27, 2005 by Chris McQuillan

The END THEME with the Middle-Eight

Taken from a source at the BBC, here it is without any broadcaster voice over the top.

Enjoy!

    I like the way it segues into the full orchestra towards the end, giving it a suitably epic feel.
    Hopefully someone who’s a dab-hand with audio software will be able to take this and knock up a full-length version of the theme…

    This rocks. I’ve spent ages looking for this and i finally have it. My recordings sounded rubbish. I like the way they have brought back the old middle bit that sounds like Feed the World. Im working on a full version of the theme using it. Thank you!!!!

    Wow. This arrangement by Gold is completely OTT.

    It’s just a bit too busy for my liking: you wouldn’t want to hear it every time over the end credits (keep it for the Christmas specials). Did they use (essentially) the Eccleston version for the opening credits of TCI?

    @ TORCHWOOD : ‘Feed the World’ never sounded like this!

    i’m looking for the complete TV theme song, not remixes and stuff,
    and torchwood, your remix wasn’t bad but i thought it was slow and boring becasue it didn’t have the second more triumphant theme half way through

    Im working on sharpening it a bit, lowering the bass volume slightly and getting that brass section perfect on the end. should be done soon. also im getting an official site up soon with a few doctor who mixes but mostly just random other music i composed.
    ps. thanx for the good comments and advice.

    Has anyone got the start theme?
    Even though it’s very similar to Eccleston’s theme, it’s better and I would like it.

    Part of me wishes they really had just stuck with the Derbyshire original. That’s what was originally planned (and anyone who has seen the leaked version of “Rose” has seen the opening sequence done that way), and since I really don’t think it’s ever been surpassed, I think it might have been nice to start from that and then maybe embellish it later.

    That said, so far, I’ve enjoyed Mr Gold’s compositions of the theme — far better than any since the Howell (Baker/Davison) version — not least because you can continue to here the eerie electronic tones of the Derbyshire version above the orchestra, even in this latest version.

    I’m glad Gold relented on the whole idea of dropping the middle eight. I certainly saw where he was coming from as far as the similarity to “Feed the World” (I remember thinking that way back when the latter song came out!), but I still think it’s an important part of the tune. The main theme establishes the darker, mysterious side, but the middle-eight is bright and uplifting, which is also a facet of the programme. This version certainly brings that aspect out in spades, and so, I’m satisfied.

    Need…more…episodes!

    Thank you Uncle Mikey for understanding what I meant when I said it sounds like Feed the world. It sounded most like it in the 7th doctor era. Also, just to say that the site (Ambientcreation) I made is down so dont try to go on it.
    Thanx

    I have finished the final version (unless there is any more crucial siggestions) of my David Tennant ending theme mix. I have now added the tampini leading up to the middle eight and the trumpets and brass half way through the middle eight. It is also slightly faster.

    Hope you like it!!!

    Thank you so much. :-). To be honest, all of the other remixes I made were not that good so I never got a completely positive remark before.
    Also, do you think I should remix a shorter, opening theme version of this mix?
    Thanks.

    Hi Velvet Frock Coat,
    No your not doing anything wrong, all you have to do is scroll down untill you see the 2 buttons “Premium” and “Free” then click “Free.” It will then give you a download ticket and you have to wait about 20 seconds (there is a timer if you scroll down a little) before you can download it. Then it will ask you to enter the 3 characters shown and to also select a mirror, click the
    “Download tennant1.mp3 from Net-Mirror “Omega”:” button, enter the characters, and click download.

    If that doesnt work just say and I will investigate further. I know its a bit confusing but after you use rapidshare enough it gets easy. Hope you like it! :-)

Anyways, thanks a bunch, I have also converted it to .3gp & added it to my D600E for an alarm tune to remind me just before the season 2 episodes start, lol.

    I’m confused… are these mixes the original version, or have they been somehow created? Not that they’re not brilliant either way… I’m just searching desperately for a “clean” version of the new ending theme, and I’d love to believe that I’ve found it! When you say it’s slightly faster, though, Torchwood, that leads me to believe that it’s your own version… right?

    Two other thoughts:
    1.) How the heck do you set an MP3 as a ringtone?! I didn’t know you could do that! I wanna!

    2.) I hate that whole Feed the World comparison, passionately. I’m not criticizing any here for it or anything, it just bugs the hell out of me in general. Here we’ve got this beautiful strain of music, and Gold can’t resist comparing it to a pop song that came along much, much later. Okay, they sound slightly similar, we get it. Hearing that has actually damaged my ability to enjoy the theme. I used to get chills every single time I heard that bit, and now all I can think of is freaking Feed the World. ARGH!

    Me, I think of it as the “hero” portion of the song… like someone said, to contrast with the darkness of the other part, this part represents hope and victory through our heroes. That’s always been my feeling.

    They must come from a parallel universe or something.
    Check out the BBC website on Doctor Who I think that explains it.

    Music near end of Doomsday is a Murray Gold original. The BBC Doctor Who website states that Murray Gold is going to release a Soundtrack CD. No date set yet. Hopefully the Doctor/Rose theme at the end of Doomsday will be included.
