Title Sequences You Love...

[Dotsie]

Well who doesn't love that?

 

[Sister Jennifer]

Or this,

[Quatermass]

Aw, Mycroft, I wanted to do Blake's 7....

An American company is doing a remake, Mycroft. If we're extremely lucky, it'll remain true enough to the original...

Anyway, it's inevitable, but I've come to the Doctor Who titles...almost all of them.

Oh, and the latest, or at least the first version of the latest one.

Oh, and Sister Jennifer: Love Journey of the Sorcerer!!!

 

[Sister Jennifer]

If this one doesn't get the toe tapping there's no hope for you

 

[Quatermass]

Meh, I prefer Journey of the Sorcerer. :|

Actually, Terry Pratchett's Discworld was animated by Cosgrove Hall, who also had their hand in other Doctor Who projects, including an online story called Scream of the Shalka. Here's the title sequence, albeit just before a few minutes of story.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

There's no hope for you then

^ That's dreadful whatever that is. Is that Richard E Grant doing the voice of the Dr??

With the possible exception of the 80's Dr, I like all those versions. The latest one is V. good.

 

[Sister Jennifer]

a couple from my childhood, that I loved.

The alien or the animation? Keep in mind that it was designed for streaming over a website. Similar animation was used for an animated David Tennant story, The Infinite Quest, and the animated versions of missing episodes 1 and 4 of The Invasion.

Yes, that's Richard E Grant playing the Doctor. This series was commissioned for the BBC website when it seemed unlikely that any new episodes would get made. Unfortunately, shortly before showing Scream of the Shalka, it was announced that the new series would be made.

Scream of the Shalka can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shalka/

There's also an audio remake of the never-completed story Shada, by Douglas Adams. Here it is: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shada/

[Sister Jennifer]

I can't get the Douglas Adams written one to open. Bummer! Thank you though. I've seen The Infinite Quest.

There was also a novelisation recently released, which actually improves the story immensely, patching up a number of plot holes. It was by Gareth Roberts, based on Douglas Adams' scripts.

Good to hear the Hitchhiker's theme again! :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Came across some more whilts browsing :

Did think about posting the The Six Million Dollar Man themesong,but on hearing that,i decided there was a good reason i didn't remember that at all.
That doesn't apply to this though:

Dadadadadadadadadada.
Batman!

Absolute favourite early TV-show of mine is The Addams Family.
Many,many bellyaches they caused...i never'll get enough of this(i have in fact just ordered a 9 disc boxset of seasons 1 to 3 for €29.50,jay sweet! ). :

"Tish,that's French!"
And lastly one more dusted off from the archives...

 

[Quatermass]

Okay, it's inevitable, but I'm posting a few anime title sequences. The first is that for Neon Genesis Evangelion. And for bonus points, who can name the British TV series whose title sequence this is attempting to emulate?

And now, Death Note...

And finally, Dragonball Z Kai, specifically, that used for the Frieza Saga...

 

[Quatermass]

Oh, and I forgot the opening for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG. Think NCIS meets The Matrix. Great show...

 

[Quatermass]

And now, for some title sequences from Red Dwarf...

 

[cheery_j.]

I really like the Game of Thrones opening. Usually you just sit through the opening sequence because it's always the same (apart from the Simpsons of course), but I enjoy watching this. The music is nice for humming along and I love how the little clockwork castles grow out of the map. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7L2PVdrb_8

 

[Quatermass]

Actually, it's worth pointing out that the titles for Game of Thrones changes every few episodes to reflect the locations the story is set at. If I recall correctly, the only constants in the first series are King's Landing, Winterfell, and the Wall.
