I feel like this theme has 3 stages. 0:00 to 1:32 feels like there's danger, and it's uncertain if The Doctor's plan will even work, the fact there's a marching element to it, like something's been set in motion, and nothing can stop it. 1:32 to 2:10 feels more reassuring as if the stakes are raising higher, he's unsure whether the plan might work, or perhaps the companions are, but there's a glimmer of positivity here, like "Yeah, I got this, I'm The Doctor... I've ALWAYS got this! Hopefully..." 2:10 onwards? Now THAT'S the part where The Doctor's bet has paid off, and he would then give his epic, mic drop level speech and give a giant massive shutdown to whichever cosmic villain is trying to do evil cosmic things again. I love this theme, there's hints of danger, uncertainty, and yet there's hope, that good will prevail and evil will lose. I love the animation you did too! Nice touch making him change outfits too hahaha

[@jmcdonald.1998]

Thank you! Yeah I feel the same about it. You can tell what parts of this will play at different tones in the episodes

[@redmewtwo488]

2:10 all the new Doctors experience in 15

[@hansoloization]

Nice one tugru the description of the different moods etc about the theme was eloquently put 🙂👍👏👏👏

[@adeflavell8274]

Love this description! Id add 2:37 the guitar strums and the Docs plan is coming together to success! Am absolutely stoked for 15 ! The animation is fantastic!

[@Hexagonal_Goblin]

Ah! This is exactly how i've felt about it, you put it so well here!

[@cipherfresh]

This is incredible! I’m so glad to see that other people are just as excited as me for Ncuti’s Doctor

[@jmcdonald.1998]

Thank you! Absolutely, can’t wait!

[@X08-Chill]

I'm so excited to see Ncuti dashing down corridors to this piece

[@Vi0letRay]

The animation here is absolutely sublime

[@djfizzy5674]

Are we running? Are we marching? All I know is I am here for it.

[@queensmum]

The monsters sprinkled throughout is a fun touch!

[@queensmum]

Btw my kid loved it too! He's requested to play it a few times now!

[@RflexShter]

Basically... RUN!

[@gallifreyan_07]

Now the theme is just amazing and we can all get a sense of all the doctors in this theme and then with all the new images of ncuti in the role it so so sooo goes with him and we can all agree this new era is gonna jam packed with action!

[@zaibian7]

I love this, it reminds me of the the Matt Smith theme. Murry Gold is back and it's about time. I hope Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor is gonna get to kick some arse to this theme.

[@malmalfactor3544]

Murray Gold is such an amazing composer. Why he wasn't the composer for series 11-13 is beyond me.

[@PianistTanooki]

Because he chose to leave. He probably wanted to leave after RTD left in 2009, but was asked to stay behind by Moffat. Apparently he’d been wanting to leave for quite a while before his final 2017 special. He’s a person, too. Some people just get a bit tired.

[@Musydid911]

I think im gonna be watching this on repeat untill Christmas or even Season 1, 15 has my heart and i haven't even seen him on screen yet at this rate he could be one of my favs 😅🤣.

[@Ollie_1022.]

Those animations are adorable ❤❤

[@craftman780]

Love how he's running with the beat

[@thebman85ify]

Great "running" theme for him.

[@Ryan_James93]

Already iconic before it’s even started! Can’t get it out of my head!

[@stephenshelley7077]

This is awesome- I must be on my 20th watch / listen- but can we acknowledge how weird Doctor Who is going to get if Ncuti actually runs like this? 😂

[@hansoloization]

Oh that’s beautiful piece of work James, goes really well with music reminds of Rhubarb and Custard, love what’s going on in the back ground to, awesome 🥲🙂👍👏👏👏

[@OctoberTFB]

Fun little animation accompanyed by just as fun music.

[@XiscoLozdob]

I love this so much, thank you for making it!

[@jmcdonald.1998]

Thank you!

[@soonminkwon9394]

Murray Gold is back????? This is awesome!!!!

[@jmcdonald.1998]

You didn’t think Russell would return without his go-to music guy?

[@haydeny]

Great animation, running to the beat, love the changes in costume.

[@THOMAS_VANN]

this has classic who vibes idk why

[@simoncolenutt5228]

Kind of reminds me of 'Condorman' with extra Crumhorn

[@mortalhellion]

I knew it! His clothes regenerate! Tom Baker is still my favorite as always, but I do look forward to seeing Ncuti in the spring.

[@benjamindavis4974]

May

[@nilslog6623]

Looove this

[@GrubStLodger]

I was unsure at first..seemed a bit mushy, but now I found myself coming back and I really like it.

[@VuddyProductions]

Bro said 🏃‍♂️

[@AceOfHeartz4]

it weirdly reminds me of akira ifukube's works on the godzilla franchise. especially the showa era stuff and some of the heisei works

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

I can’t wait to see the new doctor in action tbh

[@acount_name2160]

This severely underrated. I love it

[@dweeeebo]

I'm getting serious eleventh doctor vibes at 2:10 onwards

[@ennayanne]

sea devils! sontarans! daleks! wirrn larva? there are so many grubs in doctor who lol. and cyber masters! did i miss anyone?

[@jmcdonald.1998]

It’s Mr. Slug! From the location photos for the upcoming series

@@jmcdonald.1998 oh of course! fantastic animation btw, it never gets old

The animation is brilliant 😊

now THIS is a Doctor Who theme.

[@daisybackstar]

so amazing^^ Save the Doctor

[@masterskrain2630]

This ROCKS!!!

Nothing beats I Am The Doctor

[@ennayanne]

this does!

[@alphyy3107]

@@ennayanne This and 10's theme are much better imo

[@bethanyanne802]

This is so much better.

[@HellboyBr11]

All the songs are good and suit their respective Doctors, stop being spoiled children

[@watergami]

"Do you go to the cloud district very often?"

why are you quoting oblivion?

[@watergami]

Becuz the outfit looks like Nazeem's. (Nazeem is the NPC who says the insult). @@ennayanne

[@ennayanne]

@@watergami omg yeah it kinda does 😂

[@libraryplayer9154]

Great animation! Tempted to be cheeky and ask if you are going to update to include him wearing his underpants? 😀😂

[@TheBenguin]

This might knock “A good man?” to third you know…

[@ennayanne]

nah it's still the best

[@thomaspohl5845]

The music is pretty blah until about 2:15.

[@shemdellashemygd29]

L take

[@who7th]

... is what I'd say if I had bad taste

[@JunjiItoDougWalker]

Yep, no one else is saying it but that's what this is: bland

[@stephanietaylor8003]

Nooooooooooo! What happened to the da da da dum? Heats beat of a timelord? Knock four times? You changed the beat 😢

[@shemdellashemygd29]

This is his theme song not the opening title

[@righteousrawb7225]

I wanted Richard Ayoade but he will do just fine

[@ennayanne]

that's a very generic idea and he wouldn't be very good, just because he's dorky doesn't mean he'd make a good doctor, there's loads more to it than that

[@righteousrawb7225]

@@ennayanne That's exactly what that means, but we can definitely agree to disagree.

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

Love the visuals, but the tune, no. I am the Doctor was amazing, this isn't.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

Please forward all complaints about the music to Murray gold

[@_ruaryy]

Wrong

[@Concreteowl]

The new music is really amateurish. It sounds like the in house band for a chat show blurting out a bad knockoff to introduce an actor.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

Please sent all complaints about the music to Murray Gold. I only did the animation.

[@Trialwolf]

All I'm hearing is a bad rendition of the 80's Superfriends Cartoon.
