Doctor Who
Broadcast
2nd January 1970
For its seventh season starring Jon Pertwee, the ‘Doctor Who’ titles were redesigned with mirrored images of swirling, multicoloured flames and another new logo design. Delia Derbyshire’s theme arrangement was given a third new edit, retaining its aural spangles but shortening the opening bars and – for season 7-9 – adding a ‘stutter start’. Closing music changed too, standardised at 52″ and 1’12”, starting with the now-famous radiophonic sting.
