[net.tv.drwho] Doctor Who Theme Song

kathy@gatech.UUCP (08/19/84)

I have heard that the Doctor Who theme song is on
Jean Micheal Jarre's album "Oxygen".  Does anyone
know anything about this?

Yes. I know something about this. I know that Doctor Who has a theme tune
but has never had a theme song. There have been at least two versions of
the theme tune. (Does anybody know when the `Disco version' was first
used?) Oxygene does not have any version of any Doctor Who theme on it.

If there is any connection, the most probable is that your local station
talks all over the record when introducing the program. (Maybe they lost
their Pink Floyd record :-).

The New theme soung was first implemented August 1980.

The "disco" version of the Dr. Who theme music was first used when
John Nathan-Turner took over as producer of the show. In fact, that
was his first action as producer, to change the opening visuals and music.
