I added the lyrics to Turning Away to that post.

Also, the Doctor Who theme riff starts at 2m30s. FYI it's never "Dr. Who" but always is "Doctor Who".

Of all the Doctor Who themes my favourite versions are the 1970s and very early 1980s.

Delia Derbyshire's "Doctor Who Theme 4 - Full Version (1967-1980)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi_aPoaK4Tg

"Doctor Who Tom Baker 1980 Opening And Closing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtoMXdhTx9o Almost sounds like a Vangelis rip off.

There's a sweet but tragic story about the very clever woman who made it what it was, Delia Derbyshire.

The original music was painstakingly and tediously constructed, like animation is, but for the ears.

"All samples are privately archived and are not for public release, we apologise for the inconvenience. Thank you for your cooperation." The BBC is just propaganda not a public service of and for and by the people, otherwise they wouldn't be so stingy/greedy with their public "national treasures".

Though I found this if you ever want to remix it: "1963 Delia Derbyshire Theme Without Melody" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6XcQIZZ9SI

Very good but not what I was after, "The Ultimate History of the Doctor Who Theme" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khNg-hLNs44

Also good but not what I was after, "The Delian Mode - Delia Derbyshire documentary" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXnmSgaeGAI

Also not : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delia_Derbyshire

Failed to find anything substantial about the end of her life but I learned more along the way.

You may think I'm a Doctor Who fan. I watched it when I was 10 but have no interest in the rest of the sad series, except I may see if the new female Doctor is any good. Other than that I only like the theme song (and none of the other soundtracks), and I would die to marry someone as cute as Jenna Louise Coleman, though not die enough to bother watching her episodes. (Has she even been in anything else?)

Bonus: "Doctor Who meets Pink Floyd" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgv_NHKRId4 (Is actually "Vashta Nerada [Doctor Who Theme] by Traffic Experiment - Official Music Video" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRm8qmM-DTg )
