During a recent conducted survey by Total Sci-Fi Online, the Doctor Who theme tune was voted the best science fiction television theme tune of all time. The original Doctor Who theme tune was arranged by Delia Derbyshire and composed by the late Ron Grainer in 1963 for William Hartnell’s first series as the First Doctor which was broadcast during November of the same year.The BBC Radiophonic Workshop first recorded the original arrangement of the Doctor Who theme tune by Ron Grainer and recorded various sounds for Doctor Who. The latest redevelopment of the Doctor Who theme tune was conducted by Murray Gold for the revived series of Doctor Who.
Total Sci-Fi editor Matt McAllister commented: “The poll result proves that in addition to being one of the most popular science fiction shows ever created, Doctor Who also boasts the most iconic sci-fi theme tune. Grainer and Derbyshire’s theme manages to convey the outlandish quality of the show and is instantly recognisable to fans throughout the world just by its opening bars.”
Popular Sci-Fi comedy Red Dwarf was voted second with popular Sci-Fi drama The X Files voted third. The top ten results of this survey are readable here on Total Sci-Fi Online.
