Doctor Who
Broadcast
8th March 1975
By 1974, with Tom Baker assuming the title rôle, graphics designer Bernard Lodge hit his stride with arguably the best title sequence in the series’ history. He applied the slit-scan technique from the previous season to images of the TARDIS and a morose-looking Baker, evoking the most sensational time tunnel effects. Possibly the scariest bit is when the diamond logo recedes down the time tunnel accompanied by a high-frequency hiss, sure to get some in from the kitchen but send others behind the sofa!
