It occurs to me that someone reading this with a lack of familiarity with the theme might find the use of terms like "Middle Eight" and "Bridge" somewhat confusing and unhelpful without context. I have added a format section discussing the different sections of the theme. Someone with a more thorough knowledge of musical terms is welcome to revise what I've written here with something more technically accurate, but I hope you get my meaning for including this section, so readers have a better idea what is meant by Middle Eight. I wonder if someone with the technical know-how could add OGG sound files for each of these sections? [[Special:Contributions/68.146.81.123|68.146.81.123]] 23:28, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

==Peter Cushing?==
What's the relevance of the Peter Cushing movie theme(s) to this discussion?  Those in no way use the piece of music known as the "Doctor Who Theme".  Indeed, the second movie doesn't even have ''Dr. Who'', or any variation thereof, in the title.  It couldn't even loosely be considered a relation of ''Doctor Who'' at all.  I think people reading this article as it stands will come away believing there's a version of the ''Doctor Who'' theme in the Cushing movies, and of course that's not the case at all.  Should be removed, or at least heavily redacted to: "The Peter Cushing movies did not use the television theme at all, but instead featured its own music by Whatever His Name Is."  Personally, I think it should be totally removed, but I'll leave a discussion going here for those that want to plump for some kind of redaction.

Revision as of 20:21, 2 July 2010

re-name this Doctor Who theme?

one, this Wiki covers a few other series other than Doctor Who (worth nothing).

two, to my surprise, I found out that the Wiki has no entry for the theme. so, I say re-name, with Theme Arrangement entry re-directing to here.--204.167.92.26 17:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
