The Evolution of the "Doo-Wee-Woo" in the Doctor Who Theme. I'll be including TV themes only (and only in the main series, so no confidential or live performances), since there's like an infintite number of themes out there. So yeah. Enjoy, I guess.

NOTE: I got carried away a bit and overlooked that I added the 2 orchestral 60th Anniversary themes. So for the record, they obviously didn't release on TV (but they did on twitter so I guess that counts??)

I do not own the logo's or the music. All rights of Doctor Who belong to the BBC. No copyright infringement is intended.

    Marvellous compilation! Should point out a few errors, if you don't mind. - 2:58 2013 variant is a fan mix (?), needs to be replaced with The Snowmen and official Series 7B variants - Series 12 and 13 variants are missing
