Doctor Who: New Versions Of Theme Tune And Title Sequence For "The Snowmen
More changes to go along with the new TARDIS interior
Along with a new design for the TARDIS interior, the BBC has also now confirmed that there will be a new title sequence and theme tune arrangement for the show, debuting with the Doctor Who Christmas special , “ The Snowmen ”.
According to the official BBC site, “We can’t give too much away about the new-look titles except to say they are wonderfully dramatic and striking, with a couple of unexpected touches. In short, they’re a perfect way to welcome back the Doctor!
“And fans of the famous Doctor Who theme tune needn’t worry… This new arrangement remains true to the original, written by Ron Grainer back in 1963, but on Christmas Day you’ll hear it as it’s never sounded before. This latest version is more thrilling and powerful but retains that slightly scary quality that remains stirring no matter how many times you catch it.
“To enjoy the revamped theme tune and opening title sequence, make sure you’re watching ‘The Snowmen’ on BBC One, Christmas Day at 5.15pm.”
