(#14) Doctor Who Delaware Theme (1972)
In 1972, the BBC toyed with the idea of changing the theme. Brian Hodgson, Paddy Kingsland, and Delia Derbyshire recorded what has become known as the Delaware Theme. The song was accidentally applied to at least two episodes sent to Australia and broadcast on ABC.(#12) Seventh Doctor Theme (1987-1989)
The last two seasons of classic Doctor Who saw the theme getting another reboot. This time, the song was changed to A Minor and it was the first version to feature the "middle eight" (the part that sounds like medieval horses should be dancing) as part of the standard intro.(#6) Fifth Doctor Theme (1982-1985)
By the time Peter Davison came on board, it was the '80s and Doctor Who was due for a big change. The theme was re-recorded with a Yamaha CS-80, ARP Odyssey, and Roland Jupiter 4 synthesizers, as well as an EMS Vocoder.(#8) Second Doctor Theme (1966-1970)
When Patrick Troughton came aboard as the second Doctor, a lot of changes were made to the title sequence. First, the Doctor's face was superimposed over the credits, and then a sound effect called a "spangle" was added to the arrangement.
