Goodbye Second Doctor

Video

After a two month marathon of Patrick Troughton’s tenure as the Second Doctor, it was with more than a little sadness that I bid farewell to the Cosmic Hobo this evening. Jamie and Zoe were returned to their own time and Doctor Who, as we know it, changed forever.

With the monochrome era behind us, Doctor Who returned to the screens in colour with an earth-ensnared, TARDIS-less Doctor. The Spearhead From Space will soon introduce us to the Autons, but prior to that my forthcoming review of The War Games will lure me back to the sixties for one last hurrah. Please join me as I continue my journey through 50 years of Doctor Who.

This fan made introduction sequence for the Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi, has only been kicking around YouTube for a fortnight but has already generated over 175,000 hits. Produced by a YouTuber with the username of billydakiduk, the audio arrangement is by Chris Adams of Hardwire. Do you think that BBC Wales could better it?
