Revision as of 19:58, 28 December 2012

Title cards for Doctor Who have either the episode title, writer's name or episode number superimposed over the opening title sequence or initial sequences of the episode.

The following sub-sections have galleries illustrating the changes in font and format that the Doctor Who title card has gone through from the earliest title cards where each episode had an individual title to the 1980s-2011 where each title card became more uniform as post-production methods became far more controlled.

First Doctor

For Seasons 1, 2 and most of 3 each episode had its own title, so each episode title card is shown. For most William Hartnell episodes the title card was superimposed over the action instead of the opening titles.
Font: Grotesque One Three
Animation: Fade in, Fade out.

Beginning with TV: The Savages each story had an overall title followed by an episode number.
For TV: The War Machines a special computer-style font was used, with each letter appearing one at a time, while flashing in and out of negative.
While TV: The Tenth Planet had the title card appear and disappear amongst numerous letters.
Font: Grotesque One Three (TV: The Savages, The Smugglers)/Eurostile (TV: The Tenth Planet onwards)
Animation: Fade in, Fade out.

Second Doctor

While having the title card superimposed over the action was still the norm, starting from TV: The Macra Terror it started being superimposed over the opening titles for some episodes.
During the Patrick Troughton era several stories had special film sequences made for the title cards to be superimposed on to.
In TV: The Ice Warriors where the title cards would appear burley, zoom out, become clear then disappear, over shots of glaciers and ice.
In TV: The Wheel in Space they were superimposed over a mixture of the opening titles and shots of The Wheel.
In TV: The Seeds of Death they were superimposed over shots of the Earth & Moon in space.
And in TV: The War Games the were superimposed between shots of explosions & gunfire, flashing in and out.
Font: Eurostile (except TV: The Ice Warriors, The War Games)
Animation: Fade in, Fade out.

Third Doctor

Starting with TV: Spearhead from Space the title card is superimposed over the opening titles, with TV: Inferno the only exception where the title card was superimposed over shots of a volcano erupting, with it appearing burlrey, zooming out, become clear then disappearing.
Font: Futura Bold (until TV: The Green Death)/Futura Extra Bold (TV: The Time Warrior onwards)
Animation: Fade in, Disappear.

Fourth Doctor

Font: Futura Extra Bold (until TV: The Seeds of Doom)/Cantoria Bold (TV: The Masque of Mandragora - TV: The Horns of Nimon)/Helvetica Rounded Bold with Upper Case "G" & Lower Case "t", from VAG (TV: The Leisure Hive onwards)
Animation: Appear, Disappear (TV: Robot – TV: The Horns of Nimon)/Fade in, Fade Out ((TV: The Leisure Hive onwards)

Fifth Doctor

Font: Helvetica Rounded Bold with Upper Case "G" & Lower Case "t", from VAG
Animation: Fade in, Fade Out.

Sixth Doctor

Font: Helvetica Rounded Bold with Upper Case "G" & Lower Case "t", from VAG
Animation: Fade in, Fade Out.

Seventh Doctor

For the first time in the shows history the episode title and writer’s credit appear on the same title card, this has now become the norm.
Font: Univers Light Ultra Condensed (story/writers credit) & Eurostile Extended Bold ("by" credit).
Animation: Fade in, Fade Out.

Ninth Doctor

Font: Futura Book Animation: Fades in/Fades out

Tenth Doctor

Title Card fades in and out from 2005-2009. During 2009 the title fades in, slightly zooms in and fades out. Font: Futura Book

Doctor Who website title card

For the fourth series of Doctor Who, the BBC published title cards for each episode, on the official Doctor Who website.

Miscellaneous

Eleventh Doctor

From The Eleventh Hour to The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, the title caption appears at the bottom for the first time since Season 24. The font is SF Movie Poster and the text blurs in, grows slightly, blurs out.

From Asylum of the Daleks onwards, the title and writer centred again with greater spacing, and with a filamentous animation. The font used is Contax Bold Small Caps, and has a mottled effect.

K9 & Company

While not a Doctor Who story, A Girl's Best Friend was produced during the original Doctor Who production run and is included here for ease of comparison between it and the Doctor Who title cards of the same era.
