Doctor Who Theme - 1987 Keff McCulloch Rearranged

Ever since Young but Retro released their "1986 Rearranged" mix, I've always wanted to do something similar! Now I've finally made a mix I am proud to release. The original Doctor Who theme was written by Ron Grainer and was realized by Delia Derbyshire. Keff McCulloch's mix stands today as one of the most unique versions to have been released. Despite being personally disliked by Delia Derbyshire, this arrangement has always been one of my favorites! I think this is one of my best mixes to date.

Deffo your best mix yet mate! Loving the inspirations you picked up

[@JonScatman]

I genuinely can't begin to tell you how incredible this mix is. I honestly got chills and a lump in my throat (childhood nostalgia) listening to it. I'm on my third listen to it now. Outstanding work.

[@TheLowerDecker]

As if the 87 theme couldn't sound any MORE 80s!

[@DB_137]

Feels very 90s, love it! And bloody hell that pitch shift at 2:27 was lush 😩👌

[@Jacx_DoctorWho]

This is amazing! I bet Keff McCulloch would love this!

[@davidrenwickjunior]

2:28 that key change is awesome, very well done, love it ❤❤

[@damiencartin]

That is *exceptionally* good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very well done!

[@hellsw0rth]

[@Jack-hr9xw]

[@GideonTyree]

I got chills when the Doctor was talking to Ace.

[@noon1263]

[@thestra274]

[@mathieuleader8601]

love extra coloured hues added to this renditions intro

[@andrewdilbeck9842]

Fantastic!

[@iliffwerdegast5487]

That was amazing! Great work!

[@thestra274]

If Sylvester McCoy kept his birth name, this would be his theme tune. (Percy James Patrick Kent-Smith) Albeit it would probably be shortened to "PJ Kent-Smith" or "Pat Kent-Smith"

[@DittoGTI]

Or Pat Smith Wait a minute-

If Doctor Who was on ITV weekday afternoons, like Knightmare. It definitely has that Ed Welch vibe.

[@Clonest]

Someone contact the BBC we need this for the Season 25 collection blu ray menu NOW! 👍

[@tardiswhovian]

This is absolutely fantastic! Any chance you’ll upload a version without the McCoy monologue, if I may ask?

[@PhilDrury]

I have zero ambition to e an actor.... but if i would be an actor my ambition would be to be the darkest 7th Doctor possible short of being a Valayard. 8edit no even darker than any other Doctor.

[@ImperialDalek18]

This would've been perfect for season 28 final episode, if that even happened 😭😭

[@MMGJr.]

If Would Be For Season 28 In 1990 Of Classic Doctor Who But It Didn't Because It Was Cancelled In 1989 Well Then.

[@TheDogofTin]

Quite fantastic Not sure why you used Suno for it though, but still good non the less

[@DalekWho1963]

I used it for inspiration, but did actually make the sounds myself.

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Dalek who you're not invited to the keef Mc kulloch society

[@mattdavis6524]

Delia said it best , they kept on tarting it, out of insistence
